Sometimes it is when we lose everything that we once thought was important, we discover those things weren't as important as we thought.

I don't think you're downplaying the tough times, Kathy. I think you're right.
You know, when my brother and I shared that moment it was great. The simple times (good grief! can't believe I'm calling the 70's simple! LOL).
But they were in a way. My sibs and I knew how to have fun just kicking a ball around or trying to kick a can into an open sewer grate; that kind of thing.
There was this always "looking forward" kind of feeling. We didn't have much but we had a good time anyhow.
Maybe that's the message in some of this.
I just never thought I'd see so many people having to choose between food and spending an extra couple bucks to go to the matinee movie. Tough times.
