One of the great things about being an Architect is that your buildings will outlive you. If you have done something to be proud of you can take pride in the fact that it might be around in five hundred years.

Of course the other side is that if you have done some that you are not particularly proud of the same is true.

With kids its the same only more so.

For me, having kids is the single most worthwhile imortant act I have done with my life.

Grand children are simply icing on the cake.

When my little grandson or grand daughter sees me and shouts "paw paw" and comes running for a hug my heart just melts.
