The Important Things in Life
"I felt something impossible for me to explain in words. Then, when they took her away, it hit me. I got scared all over again and began to feel giddy. Then it came to me..I was a father. Unforgettable!" Nat King Cole about his daughter Natalie

"Life was a lot simpler when what we honored was father and mother rather than all major credit cards!" Robert Orban

"I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example." Mario Cuomo

Cadet Sign

When my brother was a cadet at the U.S. Air Force Academy, there was an overhead walkway with a sign reading "Bring Me Men."

As my parents were touring the grounds during Parents' Weekend, they could tell that some of the cadets were homesick. The sign had been changed to "Bring Me Mom."
