The greatest gift I hope to give my children, my nephews and nieces is the gift of wonderful childhood memories. Things they can laugh about. Tell their children about. Oft-times parents get caught up in giving their children "things", the newest cool toy, the most expensive video game.
I was that parent once.
Now I love the looks on their faces when they share their memories with each other. The words "Remember when..." are like music to my ears. I want to show them the world, give them the gift of seeing things some people only see on tv or in magazines.
I want them to be fearless adventurers. To not be afraid to follow their dreams. I want their spirits to be awakened to all the beauty there is on this planet. I want them to marvel at the tiniest bug and the biggest tree.
That is my motivation. My driving force.
