Some of your stories have brought to mind the day I met Mrs. DeltAlum. I've told it here before in a different context.
Her parents put her, both sisters and her brother through college. One of the sisters thru the Masters level, and the brother through Law School. They did it all on the money they made from a 300+ acre farm.
There wasn't much money left, but to them education was about the most important thing in the world.
So the day I first noticed her in a speech class, I hung around afterwards and asked her to dinner.
She told me she couldn't because her parents were putting her through college, and were paying her room and board, and that she couldn't waste their money.
Fortunately, I was able to change her mind.
But that, I think, is gratitude.
(Oh by the way, she was making some of her own spending money by doing a little modeling and singing backup in a local rock group -- which is a whole other story)
