Poland's continuing insecurity and oppression, its poverty and humiliation of its people continued to threaten the very existence of this blossoming, tender couple but the sheer strengh and determination they possessed coupled with a deep rooted spirit of adventure sustained them. Courage and willingness bread into their natures caused this couple to follow the same path that was set before them by their friends and ancestors. This prompted them to immigrate from Poland to the land of the free. The country called America.

After eventually arriving in America, the couple began to realize, almost immediately, goals from their dreams of living in a free, prosperous and everlasting peace. They attained the ability to enjoy life's events as they unfolded, together. A fervent respect for their fellow man became a virtue that would guide them into the future.

As the story further unfolds, it reveals their life experiences. Many were unanticipated by this occasionally struggling couple who created and nurtured a loving family within this newfound, rugged yet tranquil, but entirely different environment from their past. Coupled with occasional turmoil and periodic confusion, the family unit gained very rewarding successes while they continued to add influences to those who surrounded them by their unending acts of genuine love and kindness. A very contagious compassion radiated from the very presence of this family unit.
