The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There's nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.
I think once you recognize the unconditional love of an Almighty, it tends to put joy in your heart. Which in my case, it did.
Being a father and trying to love my daughters with unconditional love - those were all good decisions.
In spite of the fact that at times I would challenge parents authority. They provided unconditional love.
