“In this life we are dealt a hand of cards, some of us get that royal flush, and some of us don’t. Personally, I wasn’t dealt that bad of a hand. The first couple of cards weren’t that great but the rest of the hand was remarkable. I had joy, sorrow, and lessons learned in my hand of cards. I wouldn’t trade the dealer for a different one even if I had the choice.”
