"What I Want My Children to Know Before I Die" - New Book Written by Man

Who Watched His Mom Die When He Was Eight Years Old

As an eight-year old boy, EksAyn Anderson, watched his mom die. From it, he learned how strong a
parent's influence really is. EksAyn Anderson's book, "What I Want My Children to Know Before I
Die," recounts the death of his mother and also has advice for his children, advice he hopes will
benefit others.

Alpine, UT May 27, 2022 --(PR.com)-- EksAyn Anderson believes that parents have the most important
career in the world. In fact, he believes that parenting is the ultimate career.

"Being a full-time parent is often looked down on by others... full-time parents are often seen as less
contributing, less capable," Anderson says.

But there is one thing that happened to Anderson decades ago that compels him to share why he thinks
parents have more influence than they think.

As an eight-year old boy, EksAyn watched his mom die.

On May 5, 1986, EksAyn Anderson looked into his mother’s eyes and embraced her before she left for
the hospital and didn’t return. He hasn't given his mother a hug since that day. But there is something that
he says is almost as good:

"It is feeling her influence," he says.

Even though his mother died decades ago, he can recount little things she did that affect him today and
that are now affecting his children. Anderson believes that this influence will continue for generations.

"People often discount how much influence they have as a parent and overestimate how much influence
their career in the workplace will have in the world," EksAyn said.

"The influence of a parent is going to far outlast the influence of any other career. Most businesses people
work in all day long will be bought, sold, bankrupted, or disrupted within a decade or two. Your
great-great grandkids are not going to care what you did for work, just like you don't likely care what
your great-great grandparents did for a living. But the kind of parent you are now will quietly filter down
through generations and will affect your children's children's children - it will profoundly affect them,"
Anderson said.

EksAyn hopes his new book will help parents realize even though most of what they do is unseen by the
world, being a parent really is the ultimate career.

"What I Want My Children to Know Before I Die" is currently available on Amazon.
