Thank you for writing and sharing this great response to the prompt. I could have highlighted every word, but I'll leave that to Kira if she see's this.

I wish my parents had given me the advice I gave my kids. I hope my kids have heard me. I can't control that any more than we can change our parents. If you or your readers are interested, here's the advice I gave my kids based upon my own poor choices based upon lack of good advice from my parents. https://medium.com/illuminations-mirror/life-lessons-and-parents-roles-an-actual-email-to-my-15-year-old-son-and-17-year-old-daughter-48c8ef4f4ccf
