Letter to three future parents

What would you tell your kids about what you've learned from raising them? Check out Stie's great letter to her three children at Letters to a Parent. I love her insights and the reminder that we are raising our grandchildren's parents.

Have you been thinking about your own letter?
We have some more great ones coming up in future weeks but it would be wonderful to add your parenting insights to the mix. Here are some hints for writing one.
