The delicate balance

"Did your son enjoy Tokyo?"Jason asked cheekily. "There are lots of funny stuff that goes around there."

My wife and I tried to walk that delicate balance between shielding our kid from the worst of life, while also exposing him to life lessons. It is not an easy balance. There is no way to shield our kid from the trash of the world. It hangs like haze in the air. There is no formula for doing this.

What really matters is what path our kid chooses when we can no longer walk the path with him.
