My heart aches for any parent who has lost a child. I cannot imagine any worse pain. I am so sorry for you.
As for what makes me happy...
My health..absent that nothing else matters. Modern medical knowledge rocks!
My family, my wife, my children, their children, and the extended crew of misfits
My friends, both in and out of the hobby
A feeling of financial security, something I’ve not always had
My upcoming retirement, though I may also have to retire from my hobby shenanigans
A relatively stable environment around me. When I read about the tribulations of others, I feel so sorry for them, and so fortunate for myself and my loved ones
Lastly, this fantastic hobby and the people involved. The hobby and all the wonderful women I’ve met have helped me feel young again. Thank you all.
PS: Mexican food! :-)
