FATHERS AND MOTHERS
 
I very rarely have to start over on napkins.  Today I started FOUR times before I got it right. I am glad I did, it’s a favorite of mine now.
 
I love my wife, Linda, and I understand it is a great example and gift I can give my children to love her, even if they are grown adults.  It might seem most important in regards to my step-daughter, Caitlin, since she is the actual offspring of Linda, but in truth, all my daughters watch to see how I work on the relationship.
 
I am not a guy who obsesses about things I regret, but I do wish I had understood and acted on this more completely when I was married to my first wife.
