Obviously you have lots of love, but more than that, often your posts show patience and discipline too. You don't seem to be interested in winning arguments.
Just like your parents, my parents did hard work too in their own different ways. More so my Mom. I wish I had as much discipline as her though. I think I got lucky in all this. You are right though. So much to learn from some of these hard-working people, who did not have any fancy careers or degrees, yet they do so much for their families.
