Parents

“Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.” -Marcelene Cox

1) What do your parents do for a living?
My Mom is a retired nurse, and my Dad passed away nearly 10 years ago. For most of their years, they were dairy farmers.

2) How old were your parents when you were born?
My Mom was 25, and my Dad was 33.

3) What is the most important lesson that you learned from your parents?
Always be there for your kids, and have fun with your kids. Be involved with their activities.

4) What is the harshest discipline that you ever received from your parents?
I was a good kid, and I moved away to boarding school when I was 16, and took my own apartment after graduation, so any trouble I got into, I got into away from home, so I don’t recall any harsh discipline. I do remember the threatof a “licking” every once in a while for fighting with my brother, but I don’te remember them ever really happening.

5) What is the thing that you are the most grateful to your parents for?
For giving me a well rounded childhood, full of sports, family, church, and responsibility. Instilling a strong sense of independence in me.
