“Tony, is there anything good about being homeless?”
TONY
“That’s like asking if there’s anything good about having cancer.”
PHILIP
“Sorry.”
TONY
“Don’t worry; it was a good question, if you know what I mean.”

Good answer, Tony.
Although, the adversities we face in life sometimes help point out the small victories and give us a stop and smell the roses outlook as we get pleasure out of the simpler things in life. Things we might normally miss if we’re caught up in the ratrace.
I see that in you, Tony (the joy in small places thing)…as an example – long ago, your Elmo doll. It immediately reminded me of my Mother (who died of brain cancer)…she would’ve loved your Elmo doll.
Take care, Tony.
