What are you most proud of in your life?

FAMILY IS SO CENTRAL

It’s not a case of “thing“. It’s more a case of “People close “.

The people I am most proud of are all our immediate family members. I’m so proud of us as a husband and wife, our three children, two sons and a daughter and our tractor ten grandchildren, five boys and five girls.

Or I could ride the other way around. We are wife and husband, daughter and sons, granddaughters and grandsons.

We are so proud of them all.

Many years ago, when mywife and I elected to teach in remote areas of Western Australia and then later the Northern Territory,

we were roundly condemned by family members from afar for taking ourselves and, subsequently our children into such remote places. It was the Craig quite universally that our children would grow up to be uneducated range, accessible and even feral.

As a family unit, we learned a lot in those situations, and one of the positive things that happened to us was growing up together. Our children are worthy professionals in the various fields of occupation.

The rules of development and upbringing in togetherness that we had with our three children, they intern as parents are extending to their children. We have every reason to be very proud of them all.

The most influential people in our lives, for people who transcend goods and chattels and material things, are our family members. Our immediate family.

As this question was asked in the singular or individual context, I conclude that my immediate family are my ultimate joy and pride in life.
