After a devastating accident left me barely able to walk, I called my parents and begged them to care for my one-year-old twins. My mother replied, “I still have PICKLEBALL. Your sister never dumps her problems on us,” before hanging up. As I stared at the hospital ceiling, I remembered every mortgage payment, vacation, and debt I had covered for them.
