Jack’s Winning Words 6/24/21

“Once you are a parent, you’re the ghost of your child’s future.”  (From movie: Interstellar)  “There are little eyes upon you, and they’re watching night and day” are the opening words of a poem that describes parenting responsibilities.  Recently, in Kentucky, coaches and parents got into a fist-fight at a T-Ball game…police were called.  And, people wonder about the WHY of increasing violence in “society.”  Children see…Children do!  Eyes see.  Ears hear.  Brain remembers.  Have you ever looked into the mirror and seen a ghost?  ;-)  Jack

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  I have a photo of Bill standing at a fence, watching a ball game at Augie when John was about 2. He had his left hand above his head, grasping the fence and his right leg crossed behind him, and there is Johnny with the identical pose as Dad, peering through the fence at his side!  He was mimicking dad "to a T"!  Bill said, "I should frame that and keep it where I can always see it, to remind me I NOW have a "Mimi Me"!!   ( Of course, he was a loving and very responsible dad to our four "Mini-Me's"! )===JACK:  YouTube Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle."  It's bound to bring tears to your eyes as you compare it to the picture of Bill and John.
