Hell, I haven't always been a paragon, y'know. If truth be known, maybe there wasn't just a bit of something to do with me not being such a great father to my own kids for many years.
Too late I've learned, treasure them and let them know how much you love them. Your kids, even when you want to strangle them, or find the flap where you can take the batteries out, are like matches; you only get one go.
