My Dad just got his driver's license.
That doesen't seem like a huge deal. But over the last couple of years, he nearly died from a bacterial infection, had a minor stroke, suffered from macular degeneration (exacerbated by the stroke which affected his vision), and lost a leg to diabetes.
The fact that he's now healthy enough, and has good enough vision, to have passed the driving exam again is cause for celebration. And a testament to the magic of modern medicine.
