I just love it when Brit tells me I'm 'cool,' even though I don't understand everything that she likes or does...for instance, the belly-button-piercing thing I just *do not get!*

There is no greater joy than finding your meaning in life--except maybe helping someone you love, like your daughter, find hers.

There's no book which can tell you how to be the perfect parent. And I'm thankful that there are no such rules to follow...because if there are, I've probably broken them all! Every child is special and unique; you just do the very best you can.

Being a parent is more than just helping with homework, kissing scraped knees, or nursing the chicken pox. It's a lifelong job. Moreover, it's the most challenging--yet the most rewarding--job you will ever have.

Children and parents can love each other--that's nature's way--but it is important for them to truly LIKE each other, as well.
