The thing is all I had ever known was the hard labor of the farm and Marta had quite
a temper; she wasn’t exactly lacking in pride and arrogance. Sara this, Sara that! It’s the passing of time which has made us inseparable. She had quit Law School to get
married. Luxury fit her like a glove, she looked like a princess. And there we lived,
only the three of us. It takes guts to manage a 500 square meters home. There was a buffet dinner, a cocktail party, a reception almost every night.

The sanctity of childhood in modern times has never been in more peril. Capitalism sells the public a dream that is nearly always just out of reach. In pursuit of happiness and security parents are less available for their children. This together with the increasing occurrence of single parent families in society, means the freedom for a child to revel in the spirit of youth is being eroded. Children grow up so quickly.
