The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.— Lawrence of Arabia

When you want something, you have to be willing to do what it takes to get it, even lose something else.  Right now, Boo requires a school that’s uniquely suited to his needs.  It’s not a permanent thing, but it’s necessary now.  In order to give that to him, Irish Woman, the other children, and I have given up a lot of the luxuries that we would normally enjoy.  I’ve never heard anyone complain about it.  His mother and I would gladly do anything for him, and the other kids recognize that a lot of people have done without for them, and they do it now for Boo.

I guess my point is that when something is worth the sacrifice, be it of money, or time, or sleep, then you don’t notice the cost as much.
