Something to relate to . . .

I liked this quote because we have all had a dream trampled on at some point in our lives. It doesn't even have to be a life-changing, huge, important dream . . . just the fact that it was YOUR dream. Especially as a mother, it is something to remember when our children confide their ideas and thoughts so we treat them tenderly.

There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.

Pearl S. Buck
