Um, and you only got the examples that were set.

And, uh,

you know, my dad used to always say, not that he practices, he was a pediatrician.

He never met a child that was spoiled because they were told too many times a day they were loved.

And I try to do that every day.

Um, my dad would call all three of us schmucks, but we never got the love, but his patients did.

Uh, the other thing is, uh,

I'm really big, and I bet you you guys grew up like this with your mom, about meal times.

Having a family that we did, Amy, throughout our career, my career, which was, obviously, you're not in control of your own schedule.

A lot of people are not, but we made time four nights a week for family dinner.

But we don't talk about it, because God forbid, you know, and there's a lot of single parents doing heroic efforts, heroic efforts, your mom being an example.

But,

The family and nurturing it, strengthening it, is going to be the most important thing we can do as a society.

And we don't talk about the most important thing.

I mean, this has been my philosophy my whole life.

It got strengthened when I was mayor.

that the three doors a child walks through that will determine their life are the front door of the home, front door of the school, and the front door of the place of worship.

And if one of those doors are closed, it will change the trajectory of a child.

But did you guys go open to spiritually grounded?

We drove up to church.
