“We don’t truly appreciate what we have until it’s gone… We don’t really appreciate something until we have experienced some events; we don't really appreciate our parents until we ourselves have become parents. Be grateful for what you have now, and nothing should be taken for granted.”

Roy T. Bennett is an American author and motivational speaker. He is best known for his work *The Light in the Heart*, a collection of wisdom and reflections on life, purpose, and resilience.
