Just wanted to share this really inspiring message by Mrs Lori Palatnik about that even when our kids are grown and we feel it’s too late to do anything now, it’s never really too late, and we can still make a difference, with the help of Hashem.
Every caring expression can make ripples that go far.
I know what you mean. I (like most parents) give our kids the world in terms of money and attention. Yet sometimes, its the “small” things that get kids to open up.
For my teen, it was bringing him an asprin and glass of water in middle of the night. For this, he thanked me in the AM (and I could tell he really meant it).
You are right; never underestimate a caring gesture.
