He approached the microphone, a wave of affection washing over him. "Mom and Dad," he began, his voice surprisingly firm. "I'm incredibly happy to be here." He looked at the faces, so many people who had been touched by his parents. He was filled with a warm comfort.

He spoke about the lessons, the guidance, the simple acts of love that had defined his childhood. He spoke about his parents' enduring relationship. He closed by smiling. This was life.
