They celebrate the most minor of accomplishments, they encourage the most unusual of behaviors.

“Ten or twenty years from now, they won’t remember the Princess breakfast that you spent hours and hundreds of dollars arranging for the first morning of their first trip to Disneyland.

Ryan explains what your kids will actually remember.

And that’s probably not even close to an exhaustive list. His life was full of activity. It was full of adventure. It was marked by triumph and adversity to overcome.
