Life isn't about milestones, it's about moment

I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith.

I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.

In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.

Life is not a matter of milestones, but moments.

Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?

I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life.
