FYI, I appreciate you guys commenting referring to me as a good son, but I honestly am not doing anything out of the ordinary that another child wouldn't do or go through with their parents or family members or even friends. Reading comments like that concerns me that there's maybe people out there that don't get much support even at times like these. I, and all of us, wouldn't exist if it wasn't for our parents. That goes for everything they've done good or bad because ultimately they've simply done the best they could with what they've had through the good times and the bad. I wouldn't care what I would have to do to be there or take care of things. If I have to lose everything I own to be there for family I will, no questions asked. I feel like my purpose in life and all of my joy comes from seeing happy family members, and my life is complete with that. I couldn't care less for my own material goods, personal experiences, or achievements. I would leave this planet happy in knowing my family had a joyful life. I personally don't need a single thing. And I can see someone commenting saying that on the contrary your family feels the same about you and want to see you do things that make you happy which in turn makes them happy, and I would say you are correct, which is why I try to appear as happy as I can around them, and never harp on things and not hold things against 60 and 70 year old parents who were born in a different time and raised at a different time. I am COMPLETELY contempt and I would consider my life lived to the happiest and fullest just having them be happy. Feeling this way didn't start because of ANY diagnosis or scare of life, it has simply always been my default way of thinking.

I can only hope that all family members are there for one another.

Sorry for the long run on, and maybe wasting minutes of your life reading some stranger's messages on the internet. Just wanted to give a bit of insight into myself and how I view life.
