The Kindness of Advice

"All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people."
~ Alexis Carrel

Years ago, one of my best friends from high school, who got married and had children before I did, said something that sticks with me all these years later.  Talking about raising children, she said, "You create their memories."  I have thought about this often when trying to get something right and also at times that I am hoping my children will forget.  But the statement -- advice, really, in four words -- is always a good reminder.
