I work too much, I earn too little, but I love my life and have happiness beyond my wildest dreams. On a day like today it’s all I can do to stop myself from shouting “thank you” and “I love you” to the moon.
So hello little Clementine, you’re beautiful like your mother and your sister. I’m going to keep working hard every day to show you the right way to live. And short of that I’ll show you love and you can figure out all the small details yourself.

Congratulations, y’all! What a beautiful family. Kudos!

One of the most poignant and touching parenting strategies I’ve ever read. “I’m going to keep working hard every day to show you the right way to live. And short of that I’ll show you love and you can figure out all the small details yourself.” Simple genius.
