Talking with other parents really gave me some lessons that I try to hold on to now, as a parent of two boys.
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
