You are fortunate to have had parents who gave you a sense of worth. It is true they pampered you a bit and you felt unprepared for challenges that came later, but you had the confidence to meet those challenges. You had loving relatives to help you.
Your journey through life so far has been gratifying. We hope (and expect !) that good fortune to continue.
