"Other things may change us,
but we start and end with family."

The family is our refuge and springboard...our
link to the past, our bridge to the future
Those who love us
celebrate the true essence of
who we are and have faith in
all that we may become.
--Flavia
We are never alone in this world,
for we are all connected by heartstrings
and hope and the miracle of care. --Flavia
Grandparents and grandchildren,
Together they create a chain of love
Linking the past
With the future.
The chain may lengthen,
But it will never part.

You can get him out of your study,
but you can't get him out of your mind.

Come dance with the west wind and touch
on the mountain tops,
Sail over the canyons and up to the stars,
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future,
And all that we "can" be, not just what we are.
A man finds room in the few square inches of his
