Nice story, that is real sacrifice!
I was asked last weekend when visiting a friend: 'what
would you want to give if there was a world peace
fund?'
I immediately without hesitation said, myself.
Then of course I asked him the same and he answered:
'I was asked the same question last night in one of my
many travels around the globe and impulsively would
have said the same, however there could never be
worldpeace if they missed me...'
