I'm thankful for my parents. Because of their planning, saving, and support, I graduated college despite mental health issues, a "I'm thinking of suicide" note, and breaking off a wedding engagement to move back in with my parents.
Now I have a degree in a subject I loved, a nice desk job that encourages me to research and apply new ideas, a wife who is the fiancee I broke up with, and a home in a great school district for our future child. We just got back from a trip to the West Coast and are planning to go to Japan and Germany in the future.
The odds of this life were not in my favor, despite being a white American from the middle class (though those didn't hurt). I am lucky. I and everyone who feels this lucky should give other people chances to stumble on their own lucky path.
