Got a gift today. A horse!

     My parents have had their struggles in the past 6 years.  My Dad lost his teaching job after mold poisoned his lungs thanks to his school's air duct system.  He lost 40%  of his lung capacity.  My Mother was diagnosed with cancer after a large tumor was found on her asophagus.  She went from weighing 170 lbs to a fraile 105.  A  surgeon from John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore had to be flown in to perform a 10 hour surgery.  She made it out OK, but still has tumors all over her body.  I have done everything in my being to help them through their struggles.  It has also taken an emotional toll on me.  There were nights where their fridge was empty, and I gave them my paycheck so they would not go hungry.  Yet, they picked themselves back up.  They are back on their feet, and financially well off.  It took a long time to do so.  But they survived.  They moved out to a ranch in the middle of no where to live in bliss.  This week, my parents wanted to thank me in their own way.  As  a token of their appreciation, they got e a Palamino horse.  A horse!  Very unusual, but cool.  Very friendly horse.  I named him CM Punk after my favorite wrestler.  I was touched by this
gift.  A year and a half ago, I lost my beloved Chihuahua POOCH.  Her death sent me into depression.  Now I have a horse named after the Straight Edge Superstar.  It's a huge responsibility.  I'm ready for it.  Good thing I didn't name him Space Mountain.  Thanks Mom and Dad.  Love Ya!
