I have what I consider the best gifts of all: two children that I am proud of.
Some parents are focused on financial success: "My son's a doctor!"
In spite of some very painful teen years, my daughter is someone that makes me feel like a good father. She is a social worker, providing counselling primarily to teens. She is also on-call for a problem about which had never thought. Police officer finds a situation where a child may be at risk in the wee hours. Is the situation so serious it requires immediate removal, or can it wait until morning? Call in a social worker to evaluate.
My son, unlike many other millennials, ended up with a useful degree (Communications) and is not living in his parents' basement. (This is good; we would have to dig one.) He is self-sufficient and advancing in his career managing web content.
