I live the best life. Yes, I'm grateful. I can't stop being grateful. I am completely cognizant of how well things have worked out for me in my life. I am a white guy, born into a (at the time) middle class family, with the best parents. I don't know that they were always great together, but growing up with them, they didn't let on that there was too much animosity between them. They got in arguments, and we (my two older sisters and I) would ask them if they were getting a divorce. Mom always said "yes, and you're going with him". We would say something smart ass, or not, but us being there and being obnoxious usually calmed the storm.
When I was little, they would send us to bed, and we would sneak down to the top of the stairs to listen to them talk at the kitchen table. I'm pretty sure they new we were listening....
