The Greatest Challenge
I’ve taken on many adventures in my life thus far. I’ve climbed inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, sailed and swam in the Nile, even went paragliding in Spain.

My god! Will they ever leave????
At one point, they are our precious little angels. As time passes, they test the fibers that bind our sanity. Then they become teenagers. And the countdown begins. The countdown to how long we must endure these years before being set free from the daily emotional, mental and physical toil these little beings unleash on us. Five more years. Three more years.
