It sounds like you've done really well for yourself and what a blessing to be able to provide for your parents like you did. That is one of the best gifts there are to have the ability to take care of those who took care of you. It's my favorite part of success. I'm sorry you lost your father so soon. It never feels like we have long enough with them. Yesterday was the third anniversary of my dad's passing and it doesn't get any easier with time. As a family, we're just trying to remember the good memories about him.
I like your philosophy about life. It really is the little things that matter, the ability to feel free at whatever moment in time we wish, ideally most of the time. That's my main priority at this point in my life. Thanks for your comment and I hope you have an excellent weekend! (I can't believe it's almost the weekend again)
