I felt so happy for Mikey's mum when she said that she loves doing laundry now that she doesn't need to prepare and line-up at the laundromat anymore. Such a simple thing and yet it's huge, especially that they are going into their retirement years. This condo he gave them is the gift that will keep on giving for years to come.

Very well said.
