Apologies, but for any of you who have children, its never too late to begin nurturing them all the time, no matter what.... If possible, go to your chidren NOW, and hug them, and tell them you _LOVE_ them, _unconditionally_. If they've been "problems," it may take a while to get thorough; but, its always worth the effort. Tell them you will always be there for them, no matter what.... Its the only way to assure that you won't be needed when they grow up.

Thanks again for your attention.

Create peace and happiness with
Gentleness and Tenderness.
It can happen.
