I will follow up tomorrow. Thanks for the positive vibes. This is my story, so happy that you feel it. It's so funny seeing that early picture of myself and realizing how much my current life is based on decisions my parents made. In hindsight I realize that every true important decision they made was based on my brother and myself. Not always perfect, but extremely focused nonetheless.

That is one thing I have always been 100% sure about. I know I am lucky in that department, because it is not true for everyone.
