The dream is to have a small well maintained home with low ceilings to breed closeness.

The dream is to be making dinner and have little hands trying to snatch a taste before its ready.

The dream is for the children to never see a boundary between going to church and living the Church.

The dream is for the children to love and respect their grandparents and absorb their goodness.

The dream is for my husband and I to have such close relationships with our children that they miss us when they leave.
