that was very eye opening...sobering. guiding the kids to what they should do as they become teenagers and young adults will be no easy task. life,it seems, becomes more complex as time goes by. i know when i was growing up there were few college grads in my family. still most everyone had a decent job. things are so different now. i work with women who are college grads and are aides because they can't find a job that they had majored in. if nothing else, when kids go to college they need assistance in identifying what fields promise a future and yet to show them the way to happiness and fulfillment which i think comes from a personal relationship with Jesus. you guys are such good parents. you will raise responsible kids who will make sound decisions with your guidance. love, nana
