Message: <blockquote data-quote="T. MIKE SMITH" data-source="post: 4274391" data-attributes="member: 44552"><p>I waited way too long to have a kid- I'll be 69 on the June 23 and have a girl who will be a senior this year- talk about being older than some parents- I think I'm older that some of their great grandparents. Praise the Lord I have her- I have worked to keep myself young for her- we played softball- golf and have had a number of band events. I have had the patience to teach her a whole lot of things and that she must think for herself by hearing all sides of something and forming her own opinion on something and be ready to change that if you learn something new or different from what it began. Make yourself independent but allow others to be your friend if they are a friend. Yes, I'm an old dog and I know it, but that does not relieve me of my duty to best raise my child to adulthood with an understanding of how things work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
