“Everyone has it hard, of course, but I really wanted to capture and share the pain and thoughts we experienced in our growth or our path to success.

“Birth after birth the line unchanging runs,
And fathers live transmitted in their sons;
Each passing year beholds the unvarying kinds,
The same their manners, and the same their minds:Till, as erelong successive buds decay,

Increasing wants the pregnant parent vex
With the fond wish to form a softer sex. ..”

That's what's more meaningful.”
