    With the half of a broken hope for a pillow at night

    being younger or older.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    No parent should strive to be like another; just like our children, each of us is unique. And just as we love each of our children for being a special person, our children learn to love each of us for being a distinct parent and person.
    Saf Lerman (20th century)
