There is so much I want to teach my kids. With my recent health news, I have given a lot of thought to many different things pertaining to life and as I sit in the chair for one of my treatments, I started to write down some of the things I want my kids to know about me and about life in general. Here are 25 thoughts that popped into my mind right away. They are not in any specific order and there is much more I want them to know, but these are just a few thoughts that came to my mind.
