Please tell us your hopes on this journey.  What do you hope for for? When you close your eyes, what do you see? When captures your heart? What do you strive for? 

For me - when I closed my eyes, I saw my little girl. She would have her Daddy's intelligence and her Grandpa'sfortitude. She would look a little like me - but a lot prettier. (But not so pretty that she became a mean girl in high school.) We would snuggle in bed and read Harry Potter together. And when she laughed, the whole world would stop in gratitude. 

That's the image that kept me going. What keeps you going?
