I had only my mom and grandma growing up...no dad in sight and grandpa died when I was real young. I managed to grow into an "almost acceptable human being" (according to my wife, anyway, LOL). These may be applicable in so many kids' lives, today. They are just a few of the things my mom taught me.

1. NEVER put anything before your family...not jobs, friends, or hobbies.

2. Your kids will be on their own soon...no matter what their age. You only have so many years to teach them to be good people. Take advantage of every minute.

3. Never look for credit or admiration for what you've done that was good or right, but ALWAYS take responsibility for what you've done that wasn't.

4. Never underestimate the value of a "Yes, sir" or a "No, ma'am".

5. Respect must be earned by the younger, but given freely to the elder.

6. Share what you have....whatever it is. A mess of catfish filets or a bag of mushrooms are worth their weight in gold to those no longer able to gather them on their own.
