Finding DB late in the game #4

[CBK]

Jen,

I am one of the idiots that thought work was more important. My W never told me - we are simple beasts, well, most of us. My wife was working FT and taking care of 2 kids why I was traveling and doing what I was taught, work, when that is over, work some more... Vicous cycle. Looking back on it now, I realize what an insensitive A$$ I was, I took a lot for granted, hence why I am here in many ways. I wish my W would have told me, she dropped hints all the time, but I wish she would have said "CBK, you kids are growing up without you, you need to spend more time with them and not concentrate on work" or something like this. I would have snapped back, well if I don't work, we don't affort this lifestyle - you know what, who the heck cares. I screwed up and didn't even know it. Tell him, and if he doesn't listen, tell him again. The saying that nobody puts on your gravestone "worked too hard" - should read "loving father".

It sounds so easy now that I am in my sitc', but I would find a way to get it through their thick heads. Wish my W would have, better yet, I wish I would have heard the hints...
