It seems to me, that these two people are forging a path no one ever has before and so too, their children. While walking into the unknown must be scary, the bond between them seems genuine and I like to think that will be enough to see their family through.
In so, so, so many ways, some small, some big, I think people all over the world are rejecting "inheritances" in favor of the hope that we can create a better one to leave our children.
