Remarks: “Being a parent is such a tremendous responsibility. I have two sons, and the importance of being responsible is what I’ve tried to instill in them.
This is what I told my boys before they left home: “The path your life takes is no accident. It’s based on decisions you make. Learn to make good decisions, because there are consequences, good or bad, to every decision. As an adult, those consequences are yours to deal with, not anybody else’s.”
