Always show up for your kids. No matter how small the event, the play, or the activity.
Watch their little faces light up when they spot you in the crowd. That is parenthood and it's priceless 💖.

Food for thought
Has your parent ever said or done something to you when you were growing up, that still affects you today?
Maybe it was harsh criticism or their behavior toward you?
Think about the ways it has affected you until today.
Then, make sure you don't repeat it with your kids 😌.
