Great to read all of the interesting comments, and thank you for your thoughts, AN.

My wife and I are extremely grateful for our amazing lives, and, consequently, for the wonderful lives we’ve been able to give our
children–that has been the greatest payoff–seeing our kids achieve their dreams.

We rarely compare ourselves to others, because we realize everyone has their own definition of what a “winner” truly is. My ideals are probably far different from another person’s ideals–and that’s a good thing–as long as each is content with his or her choices.

Whether by luck, or any other factor, we feel we’ve been blessed to achieve what we’ve achieved in life and, more importantly, for eternity, and we wish all of the same to others.
