share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.that said, one should not go too far. for some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. dont you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry. at such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiiers love.part ii
