What would I do differently if I could do it all over…
““What would I do differently if I could do it all over again? I would put more emphasis on being a better husband and father. To the church or the university I would whip out a lot more noes, and a lot more yesses to my family. I would eradicate almost all of the ‘Daddy’s-too-busies,’ and the ‘later, darlings,’ from my vocabulary.””
