I was wondering if anyone could help me and check if the following sentences are grammatically correct:

Prospatia est meus pectus pectoris --> Family is my heart
Familia est omnia --> Family is everything
Vivat, crescat, floreat --> Live, believe, bloom
Quia amo valde amo et foveam --> Whom I love and protect

This is really essential for me and i'd like to know it asap.
It relates to my wife and 2 daughters.
Many thanks in advance.

@jeupke,
Prospatia est meus pectus pectoris --> Family is my heart

Prospatia -- I am not familiar with this word and could not find it in my
Latin dictionaries.

pectus pectoris -- Lierally this means "breast of breast". Figuratively, it
may be a way of saying "heart" as the seat of affection.

Familia est omnia --> Family is everything
Looks OK to me.

Vivat, crescat, floreat --> Live, believe, bloom
This means "Let it live, let it grow, let it bloom"

Quia amo valde amo et foveam --> Whom I love and protect
This means "Because I love greatly I love and cherish"

@George,
Hi George,

Thank you very much!

Do you know an other translation for Family is my heart? And can you help with these 2:

Family above all else > familia omnibus supereminet?
My Family before everything> Ante meum extraneus veniat?

Do you know why the word familia is nog used in the last sentence?

Paul

Family above all else > familia omnibus supereminet? OK

My Family before everything> Ante meum extraneus veniat?

That means "A stranger comes before mine"

Do you know why the word familia is nog used in the last sentence?
I have no idea why that would be translated the way you have it.
