What things matter most to you in life?<br />
<br />
To use a current phrase, Faith, Family and Freedom.  I cannot imagine living without faith, I think it would make me despair while facing the adversities I have had to face during my lifetime.  It is essential to feel that one is loved by, in touch with the Holy Trinity. I have felt it deeply at times throughout my life.<br />
<br />
Family, meaning extended family, has always been important to me, it is the way I grew up.<br />
<br />
Freedom is something essential for happiness, something that most of us do not fully appreciate until we lose it, as so many other things.  I lost my freedom suddenly in Cuba while a teenager, regained it when coming to the United States in 1960, only to see it slipping slowly away again in my golden years.<br />
