Over the course of our parenting journey it is certain that we will make mistakes along the way. Regret is waiting to greet us as we make our way to the finish line and he's there to collect a debt. Our job to make sure that we owe him as little as possible. How do we do this? By learning from our mistakes and perceiving the true value of our short time with our children. In this way, though our mistakes be many, our regrets will be few. Then we'll recognize that this process of refinement, this process of stumbling and course correcting, is what enabled us to reach our destination.
