When we grow up, we absorb many deep and abiding truths from our parents.  Their values and beliefs infuse us, dominate us for the rest of our lives.  But sometimes something happens to change everything for us.  We learn that everything we thought we knew was wrong.  Some people lose faith in life and stop living when that happens.  Most of us though, we live on.  We find something else to believe in, and that faith we take to the end of our days.
