Children desperately need to know - and to hear in ways they understand and remember - that they're loved and valued by mom and dad

The beautiful part is the children get so excited because their parents love them so much and want them to do so well that they're paying for everyone's breakfast.

You told me a love story. I honestly believe your parents wanted the best for you, but their love almost destroyed your life.

We're taught to expect unconditional love from our parents, but I think it is more the gift our children give us. It's they who love us helplessly, no matter what or who we are.

I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with.
