Your parents are truly a blessing to you in that they taught you the most valuable lessons of working hard, never giving up and dreaming big. I also have been blessed with two hard working parents who gave me love, encouragement and faith and who also believed in hard work and helping others without expectations. I guess we are both lucky because I feel we both have been given a wealth of knowledge to share with others and the generosity of giving and sharing it. You should be very proud of yourself and your family, because I truly feel that you went through what you did so that you can help others. How can one relate unless they to have experienced the challenges, hurts, pains others go through? Each challenge is a lesson learned and a growth in wisdom and knowledge. Your are exceptional and a blessing!.....Cabbagepatch
