Sprite, I agree anything trivial written after such a telling true story would take away the profoundness of it all................
We all have our stories, some sad, some happy, some, a combination of both, much like life, itself....
I experienced the opposite....I'm from a very rich background yet the critical, snobby, judgmental, cold, elitist, feelings don't count atmosphere I grew up, has caused many stories that I've shared here too, worse in some ways....
I guess money doesn't truly matter in the end......you can't take it with you when go to heaven anyway...........if you get in......
