Most people don't even know what that means these days. I hope I can teach my children to respect others and treat people the way they want to be treated. For my son I pray he will learn to respect girls and know how to treat a girl. I want my son to be the guy that opens a door for a girl, whether it be a door to a store or the car door, I want him to know that a lady should always be treated like a Queen no matter what. Maybe since he will be raised soon in a house with only girls it will set in pretty quickly. I am very fond of the southern man. One that says "Yes Ma'am" and tips his hat to say hello...I know I am dreaming but hey it could happen. I would love for my daughter to know that, that is how she should be treated always. When she starts dating I hope she is picky and finds someone like I have described. Growing up my daddy would treat his girls with respect, he would take each of us out on Daddy/Daughter dates and no matter if he was worn out from working he would take time to throw the ball with us, go swimming or come to my softball practice. Now my dad is an amputee due to being in Vietnam. He was blown up when he stepped on a land mine. That never stopped him! He would be in pain but he always made time for his three girls. He taught us what sacrificing for your kids meant and I thank him for that. When you are a parent you have a really big job and that job is to raise your kids right. I don't think many people even know what thats means these days. We shouldn't let the internet and TV raise our children. If we do they will NEVER learn what respect means. Respect is weighing heavily on my heart right now with all that my family is going through. I wont go into details but that is something that is missing in my family right now, but not for long!
