Decades of teaching together had made these four colleagues the best of friends. They had lived through both good and bad times and knew each other better than they knew themselves. As each headed in different directions for what was to be their last Easter break, they would inadvertently return, all with a similar remedy as to how they wanted to live out their lives: it would be together. Life, they agreed, was for the living and each day was to become a fulfillment of cherished dreams. They would all live together in one home, spending the balance of their lives in interactional bliss. When they finally arrive to the promised city, their once predictable lives turn upside down. Each day is filled with twists, turns and excitement; a veritable pot of mixed emotions. They get more than they bargained for and life blossoms into a rich and fulfilling experience.
