Legacy 'of the Greats' (literally, "de Magno")

my dad was a physician, an anesthesiologist in the Philippines. before that, he studied engineering. he was an athlete, playing college ball. he rode motorcycles. he lived.
he gave up pursing practicing medicine in the US to take care of his parents—one who had cervical cancer and one who is legally blind. he loved.
my mom is a CLS and is the working parent in the family. she moved up and out of the hard-knocks to and worked in Libya for 2 years. she lived.
she uprooted herself and raised her 2 daughters as a stay-at-home mom while her husband studied for the USMLE. with her big heart and her determination, she did what she had to. she loved.

my parents taught me the importance of family and sacrifice, all while raising my sisters and me to be God-fearing, Christian women with humble and solid foundations.
what did you learn?
