With technology that runs the life’s of millions, and the constant need to obtain anything and everything without a price, Lao-Tzu would hang his head in shock at the life we have grown so quick to know.

While in her mother’s eyes, she only supported her daughter and craved the absolute best for her child.
When Michael first finds out Josie is his daughter he has a very negative attitude and says, “ I do not want to see her. I do not want to love her.
