As a mother, I am watching my two oldest children reach the moment when they are making decisions about the future. They are deciding where they want to go and what they want to do in life. Right now, the world is an open gate, and there are all kinds of futures to choose. Their lives are a pattern of those who have gone before. The pattern of future generations will be impacted by them. They are adding their woven design to the grand tapestry of Lives.
