Cherish life with your children



Having read `Cooking for Gracie' and ` How to cook like a man' I wanted to see how the hunter feels at home.
While authors and musicians can decrease the stress of parenting, the author with an idea of the parent he wanted to be, didn't mind climbing over the parental gender gap. It is not a blow by blow of everyday parenting but the big picture of how parenting changes the perception of a parent. The author uses anecdotes from his and his wife's experiences to make his point in the story of great parenting of understanding your childhood/self through your children.
His parenting story takes an extraordinary turn with his daughter's type I diabetes requiring regular monitoring of insulin.
The language is simple. The book operates at an emotional level. The author's lessons can be extended to how to enjoy life itself and not just parenting, by being there.
Little incidents like storing practice home run balls, letting his child shop for the doll he wants long enough to see the achievement of picking the most wanted illuminate how life can be saved in our memory as a sweet memento.
