"You may strive to be like your child, but if you truly want the best for them you should not strive to make them like you. Rest assured that no child shall leave behind their childhood and early family life without willingly taking with them into the future, those things of worth that they best learned from you. If they carry your lesser behaviour as a trait, rest assured it will have not been knowingly packed, but will have been a 'stow away'. However, any of your good traits and lessons learned will be closely held by them until the day that they are given the opportunity to pass it on to their offspring. Even family faces are genetic mirrors and when we look at people who belong to us, we see the past, present and future." William Forde: February 11th, 2013.
