WOW, these are some really great stories! There are a few thing that have shaped me that I remember. My parents, especially myDad, made me the man I am today. I had a GREAT childhood and would do it all over again if I could. My parents raised me right and now I have my own wonderful family.
The other thing that really changed me was the death of my in-laws. My wife and I have been together since high school and her parents the whole time treated me like family. I always had a short temper and would let the littlest of things get to me. When my wife's mom died, I realized that I need to be who I am not the person everyone else wanted me to be. I also started living life to the fullest. My mother-in=-law did all the right things in life and she still died at a young age. She didn't smoke. drink, was a food nazi, counted calories and exercised like a fiend and it didn't make a difference. I learned from this that moderation was the key and to live life fully and to have as much fun as I could!
