You can only give so much guidance and hope for the best because each of us at some point is going to spread our own wings and become an individual with a mind of our own. I give a lot of credit for the way my daughter turned out to my own parents, I didn't do it alone and I failed quite miserably at times and I did it without a book by some author who probably never had any kids of their own. Being a parent is a lesson you learn the hard way by experiencing it yourself.<br /><br />I love the pictures of your boys when they were babies, they were really cute. I never had a KISS shirt, I'm jealous! Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />HAHAHAHADebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039342776866311508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-49932786857375434782009-11-04T07:52:26.235-05:002009-11-04T07:52:26.235-05:00You know Jack and Sherry, there is no one on this ...You know Jack and Sherry, there is no one on this earth that feels more of a failure on child raising. than I do. At least with the youngest one. I tried to hard to make up for his dad being dead and me having to work. You did a good job with your boys because it was not just you. It was you and Sherry as a team, My 4 Peterson's even though divorced we, their father and I worked together to solve any problems that came up that were serious. Like Paula My dad was a huge figure in my life but I didn't really feel I could talk to him , BUT I knew he was there and If I needed him, he was there. Regret would kill me with my youngest son if a person could die from it. Never fear you and Sherry have been a good example for the kids. If there is one thing I have learned you can never "go back".Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-75088150434510793632009-11-04T00:47:40.458-05:002009-11-04T00:47:40.458-05:00I bet if you were to have talked to your dad, he w...I bet if you were to have talked to your dad, he would have wondered if he was a good dad or not. I think we as parents always wonder if we did the right thing raising our kids and what different things we should have done. I'm convinced if you get a kid through high school without being arrested or involved in drugs or alcohol, you've done good. (oops, lacking here, LOL). Parenting is hard work. I do think there are more challenges out here these days; so much technology that wasn't even in people's imagination when we were growing up. <br /><br />From what I read and know of you, I believe you and Sherry were great parents!! Your kids/grand kids enjoy being around you; that speaks for itself :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-82494799232484601502009-11-03T23:10:35.537-05:002009-11-03T23:10:35.537-05:00Good words of advice from you and Shirl.

I'm sure he and my Mama would think the silly words I write here is pure gibbrish.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-23864669732266626702009-11-03T22:36:05.197-05:002009-11-03T22:36:05.197-05:00Brother you were and still are a great Dad.

We as children knew we were loved and didn't require a lot of discipline because we knew what was expected of us. We all turned out good. I might add you are<br />a wonderful Grand-Dad. Maybe be all need <br />counceling for having good parents.
