More thoughts from book "An hour to Live, and Hour to Love" by Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson
"If I could live this live over again, I'd spend less time talking and more time listening, particularly to you and to the children.  Saying good-bye to the girls, I cried when I realized I hadn't listened nearly enough to them over the years, and they have so much to say.  In my attempts to share my own wisdom, I have missed out on hearing theirs."
