"taught me to truly count my blessings. Cherish every day. Tell your loved ones that they’re loved every day. Let the small potatoes roll down the hill." Frankie I am so sorry to hear of your troublesome situation and I pray for the best (I'm not religious but I am spiritual). I read a similar situation from a fellow writer and in so many ways, all our lives connect around this topic. Speaking like an "old" person of 65 year, I try my damndest to embrace each and every moment of every day, especially having really good health and a relatively carefree life. My loved ones, not so much - so I look at others and know I'm lucky, but I also try to learn and benefit from their situations, to help solidify me for that day --- Thank you for sharing :-)
