My mom and dad made it so much more easier for me and I can't thank them enough.
That still didn't keep me from thinking the world was ending and getting drunk off my ass when my would-be girlfriend wouldn't go out with me. I can imagine mom wanting to tell me, "You think you have it tough? You didn't have to be evacuated from your home because someone was going to drop a hydrogen bomb on it." Instead, she brought me a bowl of chicken soup when I woke up the next morning after puking all night.
No doubt. I bust my ass so my children have everything they want and need. I don't want my children to experience the pains and suffering of my childhood. Yes, they have some of their own but they will not have the hardship I had just like I didn't have the hardship my parents had. I atleast had running water unlike my parents.
