In the hurry to make our children good adults, we might miss some of the childish moments worth hanging on to.

"The bad news is that kids’ work ethic is in a crisis and we, parents, have a lot to do with it... Why are we misleading our children? We are telling our kids a fairy tale."

"I had the most overwhelming realization of my mistake... I have felt guilt even years later."

"I think my stepdaughter might have assumed I changed my shirt because I’m old (in her eyes), and old moms don’t wear 'sexy' stuff. Or maybe it was because I was married to her dad and didn’t need to look sexy anymore. And while it was true that I respected her father, that was just the tip of the iceberg."

"Your relationship with your wife is about SO much more than just you and her."

I can’t really imagine Jesus saying, “Don’t lust, but if she’s really attractive to you, and she’s not wearing much, then I totally get it."

"I will always hold onto the memories. Of the little girl who wore the little clothes. The one who laughed and cried without abandon. The one who never hesitated to wrap her arms around my waist. I will always hold onto that little girl, even when there’s a big girl wrapped in my embrace."

"Their deaths have forever changed me and how I look at the world. In an odd way, it has made me a better parent."
