"Children are not material to fulfill their parents' dreams, but rather God's way of putting the future into our hands today. At first, we thought we were teaching them to stand firm, move forward, and not fall; later we realized that it was their repeated falls and rises that taught us what it means to trust, to be patient, and to return control to God."
