or, more precisely; ... a dream that they had had for several years
Peer comment(s):

agree ormiston : nice ! maybe 'wish' if the tone is less lyrical (and shouldn't it be 'which' with community ?) why not work in 'whose' which covers both ?

thanks ormiston! yes, "wish" is a good idea for "less lyrical". Which is Ok as well, although I think I'd tend to SLIGHTLY favour "who", to keep it more "personal". //Better still! as in "for whom a long-held dream had come true"

so many lovely suggestions but I feel the prosaic context requires something more down to earth!
