We’ve all heard of successful baseball player, Daryl Strawberry.  Yet, as successful as Daryl was on the playing field, his life off the field was far from problem-free.  Daryl freely acknowledges that his relationship with his own father was difficult, at best.  And while he doesn’t completely blame his father for his own mistakes, he does concede that a lot of his own struggles probably stem from being alienated from his dad.

Take a moment now to watch this moving video of Daryl discussing his tumultuous relationship with his father.  Then, take a few moments tonight to sit down with your own kids, give them a hug, and ask them “When you’re a parent, what is one thing you want to do differently than your mom and I have done with you? Why?”  I guarantee you’ll get some great food for thought!

Blessings,
