Psychiatrists say that the two things people who know they are about to die think about the most are having a right relationship with God and also with their family and close friends. Wouldn’t it make sense to not wait until your death bed to try to work that out? Raising children is the hardest thing my wife and I have ever done. Fortunately we have a great relationship with our family and loved ones. But it wasn’t always that way through their teenage years. It was not always that we were too busy….often it was just their differing views on life that we disagreed with. Many times we found out that they were not completely wrong and we were not completely right. Find that middle ground with everyone you love. Don’t wait until the end to “get your affairs in order”. Do it now!
