Funny how life works out.

Sorry to hear that.
I definitely take things for granted, and I'm lucky that I was raised in an upper-class home (both my parents lived in dirt-poor conditions).
I can say that I'm too young to understand and appreciate my parent's care. With age comes wisdom, I guess. I'll learn.
