Perspective

Was checking the news this morning and read this article from Tony Dungy's son's funeral yesterday. With your ages, Katy, Emma, and Laura, I thought it might be of interest. It's so sad that James Dungy lost all hope. His dad's and sister's words are absolutely true!!

"I know if you're 13 or 14 or 15 or 16, maybe your parents are starting to seem a little old fashioned with some of the things they're saying. They won't always let you do the things you want to do," Dungy said.

"But just know, kids, that when that happens, they still love you, they still care about you very much. And those old-fashioned things will start to make sense pretty soon."

"As he got a little older, like all teenagers, he was searching for who that person was inside of him. Who he was going to be. ... And like most of us, I think he went through a time as a teenager that he wasn't sure his parents always had the best advice. He wasn't sure that we always had his best interest at heart," the coach said.

"My daughter Tiara said it best the other day. She said: `I just wish he could have made it until he was 20. Because when you're 17 or 18, sometimes the things you guys say to us don't always make sense. ... When I got to 20, they started making sense again.'"

Tiara, the oldest of Dungy's five children, is 21.

I love my three daughters completely!! I trust they know how much....
