1. Over-celebrate your child’s accomplishments.
2. I hope you remember your grandfather too.
3. All I can think about is legacy right now.
4. If you have reached middle-age, don’t give up.
5. “Conversations around the dinner table were lively because we all had stories or experiences we wanted to share. I believe that the great enjoyment of a family eating together is having this time when each person can be heard. Father had a special talent in directing our talks so that no one would feel left out. We loved to tell personal stories, but were taught to laugh at ourselves and not to make fun of others.”
–Corrie Ten Boom, In My Father’s House
