Entry 173: The fruit doesn't fall too far from a tree.

  The fruit doesn't fall too far from a tree. What children become when they grow up is a product of upbringing. Best children come from best parents. You can't control what your children become. But you can strive to put them on the right path. Can't be a proper parent without recognizing this is my prime responsibility. As life moves me up to be a grandfather. This no longer as much my concern. Counting my blessings. Wisdom gleamed from looking back realizing while I made some mistakes along the way.  The present is the decade of admitting my mistakes to my children. Forgiving myself if the best way I knew was in hindsight not the best in the long run. Mea culpa my children.
