What are some long-term accomplishments in your life?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Our daughter and son are well into adulthood, and both have been wonderful, caring, fun-to-be-around people for their entire lives. Every single day, never an ounce of disrespect, or trouble of any kind. I can’t recall even one person ever disliking either one of them, at any age. They both continue to be naturally apathetic, caring and respectful of others’ concerns and feelings. They both have college degrees, and recently have gifted us with two of the most intelligent, beautiful grandchildren anyone could ever wish for. So…..when our turn comes to ‘leave the planet’, I think we’ll be able to close our eyes and think…. ” Yeah…..we did pretty good…..”
