While growing up many observed the public 1st hand of parenting that provided more than I could ask, but few ever peeped the private 2nd one waiting to forcibly coerce me back in line if I ever lacked in discipline or appreciation for what the former hand provided.
As a child I appreciated the former hand.
As a man I have greater and greater appreciation for the fruits of the latter as every day passes.
