I was given the gift of poverty
I was given the gift of loneliness
I was given the gift of an ex-wife
I was given the gift of a bad marriage
I was given the gift of failing in school
I was given the gift of losing fights
I was given the gift of losing patients I cared about

I was given the gift of my wife surviving cancer
I was given the gift of being there on her worst day
I was given the gift of being there on her best day
I’m expecting the gift of what is yet to come

I am thankful for these gifts, for they were all my teachers.
