Commitment, faith and resolve.

When I was a kid, I witnessed and experienced a lot of pain. As a result of some of the things I went through, I really wanted to protect my children to the extent that I could. Not to the point where they would not be able to function independently, but just so they would not be as scarred as I was by the time I was an adult. I think today I understand that the most important thing to do is to teach them to move forward with commitment, faith and resolve in spite of the bad things that sometimes happen in life.
