begins came continue creates expectation frame kids last lower possible reference shrink standards strong week
What I came away with last week was a very strong sense that the kids had been marooned up there. They're in a place where opportunities continue to shrink and were going to continue to shrink and that creates a frame of reference for what it is possible to achieve.

daughter memories dad
One of the greatest things about daughters is how they adored you when they were little; how they rushed into your arms with electric delight and demanded that you watch everything they do and listen to everything they say.

And yet, you will adore your daughter every day of her life, hoping to be valued again, but realizing how fortunate you were even if you only get what you already got.
