Our perspective, our outlook gets better so that when certain trials and low points come trouble with their kids- right, health issues, job issues, family issues, whatever life- that we can get through it with grace and dignity and, by the way, with each other too, that no matter what comes up, I can call anybody and say: man, I just need to vent.
