Get creative or keep it simple - it's really up to you. Just be sure that you take time out of each and every day to remind your children how much they mean to you. They could never hear it too much!

As you are going about hustle of your everyday life, just remember this saying... "A hundred years from now ...it will not matter what my bank account was, sort of house I lived in, or kind of car I drove but world may be different because I was important in life of a CHILD..."

These are just two of many reasons that I know parenting isn't a selfish act. Today's children will be adults of our future, and they will be making friends AND finding solutions. As we've heard many times, they will help to make world a better place. We shouldn't spend our days with our children worrying about bad things that could happen to them. Instead, we should help them grow and experience all good in world. We should help them to be a part of that goodness, and to show them how to create more of it for benefit of all.

Even more importantly, my children reminded me yesterday of need to go on with our daily lives. If we don't, we are giving up and giving in. There is still many inventions for us to dream up, and many friends that we just haven't met yet. It's time to move forward, and to makes things better in process.
