My praise moment came this summer from my 27 year old son. We were in the car on the way back from visiting my father in the nursing home 2 days before he passed away. My son said to me "I don't regret a single thing on how you raised me." (We had our problems with him in his teen years. The rules were the rules and there were consequences when rules were broken.) I was lucky to stay on the road. I didn't know what to say.
