This poem made me think of some very challenging times I’ve gone through over the years with one of my family members. In those moments I felt nothing but frustration and heartache and sadness, but I don’t think I’d be where I am today without those experiences and persevering through those challenges. So although I would not conventionally think of those challenges that person has provided me as a gift, when I think about the strength and character I’ve developed as a result, I do see it as a gift.
