“It must be emphasized that as a father, you are always teaching. For good or ill your family learns your ways, your beliefs, your heart, your ideas, your concerns. Your children may or may not choose to follow you, but the example you give is the greatest light you hold before your children, and you are accountable for that light.” WayGivingHeartMayChildrenIdeasLightFatherBeliefTeachingExampleConcernOur ChildrenIllOur FamilyYour Children Author:Joseph Smith, Jr.

“No one worries about you like your mother, and when she is gone, the world seems unsafe, things that happen unwieldy. You cannot turn to her anymore, and it changes your life forever. There is no one on earth who knew you from the day you were born; who knew why you cried, or when you'd had enough food; who knew exactly what to say when you were hurting; and who encouraged you to grow a good heart. When that layer goes, whatever is left of your childhood goes with her.” WorldHeartEnoughSeemsHappensEarthMotherTurnsLeftGrowsBornHurtWorryGoneForeverChildhoodLike YouYour ChildrenLayersCriedChanging Your LifeHad EnoughGood HeartUnsafeGood Happy Mothers DayMothers Day MessagesBeing A Good Mother Book:Big Stone Gap: A Novel Source: Big Stone Gap: A Novel
