Watching your parents wither away in front of you is more painful than you could have imagined. Suddenly, everything else feels or looks trivial. In moments like these, you want to be able to blame someone for it. When the reality is there is no one to blame. You have to just get up on your feet and face it. Because when things spiral out of control, you take a deep breath and make a choice - this is life, love it or hate it.
Reminds me of the scene from Rocky VI. It all suddenly makes sense now.
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what your worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!
