Teaching moments are the best we can salvage sometimes.

So many things I wish I'd known BEFORE I brought munchkins into this world... so many things I woulda coulda shoulda done different raising said munchkins, showing them, by example, how two adults can love, honor, and respect each other.

Only advice I can offer based on the lessons learned from my multitude of mistakes: slow down, breathe, figure out what actually matters, hug often, smile more often, and accept each individual for who they are.
