When you are rearing your children, there are those wonder times of laughter and joy. The first of this or that, the cute crawl or wave, or coming home excited about some activity as they grow older.
There are those challenging times when as a parent you have to be the adult and say "no" or you just think differently that your child(ren). Your references are different. At times there is tension and frustration on everyone's part.
Then comes the time when they become adults and move on with their lives. You get to see the happiness and sadness as they encounter life. You hurt for them but know that you have provided them with the proper tools to work out the wrinkles of life.
While you always remain a parent, your references begin to become more similar and your relationships with you children changes. It is a really wonderful.
Family is great.
It is as simple as that.
