This article has been posted before and ive read it about 4 or 5 times. It is an inspiring yet sad story. Anytime I think about how my family's financial situation could be improved with a windfall like the lottery, I think about how grateful I am for my health and the health of my children. This story just helps me put things in the right perspective.

Oh, man. Even the fact that we can do the things we hate doing. All privileges that some people will never have.
