@dennisgorelik && @ThomPete I used 'child', but I did mean 'children'. Not going to travel down the road of semantics there. I also don't believe I advocated, nor did Jason in his post, the stopping of everything else in one's life so that they can be a parent. "Most" important implies that there are other things of importance in ones life, and having accomplishments that can be shared with or serve as inspiration to our children is a wonderful gift to give. As Einstein said, "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."
