Changing of the guard

Aren't we all angry with our parents for what they did not do for us? Or what they weren't? Or what they said? Our vision is so clear. I can say that. I'm sure my children can say the same. But isn't this just the changing of the guard.
A whole new world. Walden?
Every day, I am aware of new music, shows, references, that I, as a grown-up, should not understand or even be aware of. I try to stay abreast of new things. I want to understand. I want to be with you (my daughter) No award, no recognition. Just to be with you. No other reason. No credit. Just to be with you.. Nothing else.

Grateful

If you watch the news you will see crazy things. Robbery, destructiveness, psychotic behavior. As much as I strive for normalcy, the life my daughters has provided for me has never given me a moment's grief. I am always grateful. They could be psychotic, tatooed, flailing, objecting.... But, they aren't. And I thank them.
