Please get really serious for a moment

I humbly request that you take time to access and read the newspaper story about a wounded Marine at the link below. Pay special attention to paragraph 3, "I want to go hunting and fishing again."

As a retired 57-year old Federal law enforcement agent, I don't cry very often, but must admit I got a bit misty-eyed and felt a lump in my throat more than once as I read this in my Sunday morning newspaper.

That's an awesome story.

Really reminds you that the things you think are huge troubles in your own life might not be so huge after all.
