Well, that's my objective. And if one person reads and it makes a difference, then it's definitely worth it. Thank you so much.

There's something different about this post. . . ,
from your other writings. Does your occupation cater to senior citzens by chance?? Just curious.

Excellent Avant. It's a journey we will all make, hopefully. The alternative could be less attractive.

Namaste Avant
The Divine in me recognizes the Divine in you...the loose translation of "Namaste". Its when we can recognize the Divine in ourselves as well as the Divine in others that we can come together in moving forward in our true growth of who we are....sparks of the Divine. Thanks for reminding me of this...wonderful post.

Dear Avant,
Thanks a lot for your comments its all because of people like you that i'm able to write.Many a times i've been inspired by your posts to write my stories.This post of yours is very true & it is very much needed in these times, but i see many people not being able to connect & understand others Especially children they are so simple but we still fail to understand them...if one learns the lesson from your post it can really be very helpful in day to day life.
Avant if you ever find any of my post not up to the mark or something wrong in it please let me know all my friends have the right to criticize me so that i can learn from my mistakes.So please let me know if i need to improve in some aspect of my writing.
take care.

Avant-Garde,
I have no experience with child rearing, the thought was overwhelming, it takes a brave soul to do it consciously as you are. My one observation, which I offer humbly, based on observation: it's okay to be your child's friend, but the parent still is the adult, to set boundaries and guide and teach. Some seem to want to abdicate that role.

Oh my, avant-garde. I have a lot of experience with that.
So well written. You make me remember it all. One day soon I will be the old silent one. But, right now, I still have a lot of voice.

Avant -- I'm sure children are great teachers for all of us, perhaps
helping us to remember something forgotten.
