"Even though our family has been hectic at times, it is the glue that holds us together. It is the haven we seek when there is trouble and the place where we truly celebrate the good times. Family is important because it is like a ship's rudder on the sea of life...without it; you are lost adrift, not knowing truly who you are or where you are going..."
Assim, testemundo a todos vos, o mesmo sentido que meu avo me transmitiu...sonhos de felicidade...sonhos de alegria...e do infinito mas acima de tudo o amor. "
