What is the most important value you can pass onto your child?

A child? Me having a child? Am afraid that's not likely.

Thought once there might be a baby on the way, but it wouldn't have been my child. For sure, I would have been the one who'd fathered him, or her... a little boy or girl of my very own running free in my woods, playing with the leaves and the sunshine... Me and the trees would have loved that.

Thing is he-she wouldn't have been my own. Her Ladyship wanted a baby, needed one. More than she needed me. I was just a means to her. Her baby maker... I'm glad I didn't give her a baby, a baby that would have been taken away from all things that truly matter to live a golden, meaningless life.

There will be no baby now, two men cannot have a baby. This grieves me but I wouldn't trade what I have with my love for anything in the world.

But, for the sake of theory, I would teach the baby to respect the environment he-she is born within. Woods, air, water... care for them and they will care for you.. keep you alive, grow with you, shield you.
