Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams.” LoveNeedsHumansChildrenDreamNextTeachGenerationsMomDadComputerExpectationsHundredEmbraceRitualLoved OnesUnclesAuntNext GenerationLaptopsGrandpaGrannyPrevious GenerationsMom Dad Author:Colin Powell
