Think what the family would be like if children saw only affection and oneness in their parents.


-Dr.Charles Parker (for more quotes go to Crosslites)
 
As one of my children has left home before fully having wings, this quote strikes me as it hits the core of how I feel.  I am sadden that the affection and oneness that I perceive and feel in the household is not that perceived by one of the baby birds that shared the nest.  I pray she can find a nest that offers her the grace she so desperately needs.
