Would you please paraphrase the following in bold? And who does "their" refer to?
Some of my friends jokingly tell me I have an illness to be so completely obsessed by purpose. I see it a different way: I am fortunate to know exactly why I am on this planet. I feel a larger responsibility that goes beyond one person's purpose. I owe it to my deceased parents to make their lives count. I owe it to my adopted parents for their sacrifice in raising me, and above all I owe it to my people in Colombia, whose existence I can improve.
Thank you.
