We are constantly learning from and teaching one another. We learn, too, that the most important work is not done by those who seem the most important, but by those who care the most.

~ Caroline Kennedy

That irrational childhood thought that he could read my mind maybe.'What nonsense, his heart is here with his mother and his family.
