"Early on, when my husband and I got married, we made the choice not to pursue upward mobility, but instead to commit to being part of a diverse neighborhood. We wanted to get to know people who were different from us and see life from that perspective. Our faith shaped our decision, but I think the fact that I’m a special education teacher also had something to do with it; I've always felt that it's important to acknowledge the value of every single person.
"We have a four-year-old granddaughter now, and we hope that the way we live out our commitment will influence how she views the world. We’re part of a wonderful, supportive faith community, and we really hope that for her too there will be some component of faith to her life. I want her always to remember how much she is loved by us and by God, to make friends with all kinds of people, to be kind, and to know that everyone is as special as she is."
