nra LJ LO, CHILDREN ARE A HERITAGE OF THE LORD . . . HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO HAS HIS QUIVER FULL OF THEM. ; Psatmsw** I don't know what we ever did that you should reward us in this way. W e gave you a nice home and all the love and respect a child needs . . . we sent you to the best schools -and gave you the best money could b u y . . . . you have broken your parents' hearts and you should know that. This is some thank you for all we have given you. Philip Roth Goodbye, Columbus
CHILDREN'S CHILDREN ARE THE CROWN OF OLD MEN; AND THE GLORY OF CHILDREN ARE THEIR FATHERS . . . . The image of my father comes before my eyes everytime 1 am in distress, in need of guidance. Anytime I am in doubt,, not knowing which is right or wrong, I need, only call from the sea of. my memories his lake blue eyes . . . when I see his f a c e . . . I know there is a justice and a logic in pur doing, and a sheltering Hand over my head.

Proverbs24T3 Provgrbs31:28
Just had another big bust up with Mummy for the umpteenth time; we simply don't get on together these days. This comes about particularly because I have in my mind's eye an image of what a perfect mother and wife should be; and In her whom I must call "Mother" i find no trace of that image.: .1 want to see only the good side of her. .".'butit doesn't work. Don't condemn me; remember rather that sometimes I too can reach the bursting point. . The Diary of Anne Frank
Indeed, , . in that shtetl home \yere men and women, fathers and mothers, offspring, grandparents, grandchildren and siblings; there were tears and laughter; there was tenderness and pathos, courage and cowardice, humility and arrogance, serenity and discipline and the sheer, simple beauty and magic which cpmes from genuine love and family devotion.
