I think it doesn't matter.
- It doesn't matter if my house is a wreck.
- It doesn't matter if I don't cook on a regular basis.
- It doesn't matter if I keep my car spotless.
- It doesn't matter if I have a wad of cash on hand at all times.
But what does matter....
What DOES matter is....
- That I love my children.
- That I'm there for them.
- That I care enough to take them aside and talk through decisions with them when they're about to make a dumb one....or worse....when they've already made a dumb one, and I need to get them back on the right path.
- That I laugh with them.
- That I connect with them.
- That I hug them and kiss them and put my arm around them everyday.
- That I make them aware that they're my EVERYTHING.
- That I take the time for them while they're still here with me.
- That there's no question EVER that they're each in my heart.
THAT's what matters!

Love this. Needed to hear it again, too!
You're keeping eternal relationships in mind, and that's what we all need to remember. Thanks, Jules.
