I, you know, it is, it's frustrating, but I mean, I, listen, I look at these, some of my friends that I've made over time who have children who are affected, children who, you know, were perfectly healthy kids who exceeded all their milestones. And then they lost everything when they're two years. And a lot of these kids are so severely affected. They'll never, you know, hold a job. They'll never pay taxes. They'll never write a poem. They'll never throw baseball. They'll never go out on date with a girl or a boy. And they'll never serve in the military, you know, their lives are so constricted and the parents' lives are also shattered. You know, these are a lot of these parents for most of them, because the children have these, you know, severe anger and violence and they have these tactile sensitivities and light sensitivities and don't like strangers that the parents can't go out, you can't get a babysitter to take care of that child. And the parents just stop going out on dates. A lot of them give up their jobs. They, almost all of them, their careers are, you know, really debilitated. And I see them going through that. And, you know, anything that I go through is like nothing, nothing. So I don't, you know, spend any time thinking of myself. I just don't get frustrated because all I have to do is think I'm here for those parents. And, you know, and I'm lucky that, you know, I don't have to fight that battle because I don't know if I could take it.

A small moment that has stuck with me. Made me more grateful for what I have in life.
