Millard Fuller

Founder, Habitat for Humanity International

Millard Fuller: Prior to leaving business, our lives had gone in separate ways, and we really became strangers to each other. After we left business and decided that we would seek a common path, and let that path be God's path for our lives, we worked together, and we've always worked together from that point until this day. And the children were involved in it. We were together. We did things together, and it was exciting. And even though, instead of driving a Lincoln Continental she was riding a motor bike, she was riding a motor bike as a happy woman, not a frustrated woman. She was a fulfilled woman, and she had her child on the back of the motor bike, and they were having an adventure. For a kid, it's more fun to be on the back of a motor bike than it is in the back seat of a Lincoln. And we were taking trips down to the Zaire River in a river boat, and we would go out and get sand out of -- I mean, it was -- in fact, one of our kids said to us recently -- she said, "Daddy, how could we ever thank you for how you raised us?" It was a thrilling moment, because our kids had a storybook childhood. We went to see the gorillas together in the forest. We floated down the Zaire River. We went and had picnics at the Botanical Garden. We dug out ant hills, and made blocks, and painted houses, and the kids had an adventure. We all had an adventure. We climbed a volcanic mountain together and camped out on the rim of the volcano. It was a marvelous experience that we had as a couple, and that we had together with our kids.
