The Very Best Reason Parents Are So Special . . . Is Because We Are The Holders Of A Priceless Gift, A Gift We Received From Countless Generations We Never Knew, A Gift That Only We Now Possess And Only We Can Give To Our Children.

If A Child Finds This During The First Years Of Life, He Or She Can Grow Up To Be A Competent, Healthy Person.
