Lifelong Degree

Most people get their degree from a university.
Most people wear a cap and gown.
Most people get a handshake from a professor and a fancy piece of paper to frame and hang on their wall.
This one can take a lifetime to earn, if you are lucky.
This is one of the hardest things I have ever earned in my life. You know, the more I think about it, I am happier to have earned this one than any other one I could try for.

The cost is beyond imagination
The time is 24/7
The test failures are excruciating
The test passing is phenominal rewarding
The time invested is way beyond the usual recommendation
But the prize is invaluable.


"Parental Happiness Degree".


I have been nominated as one of my daughter's heroes in her life.
