10 years ago, while sitting in the ICU with Kiera I had a nurse ask me what I did for a living. I told her and she expressed her appreciation for it and it took me a moment, but her comment will always stick with me. She said she loved my work because most Daddy’s didn’t get to be with their babies every day like I did.
Fast forward to the ICU with Ethan and the thought occurs to me again...how lucky am I that during a time of crisis, I can drop everything and be with my son! Business has been hard the last few years, the industry and the world are shifting rapidly, but I am reminded that I am a lucky man. I have the support of an incredible family, the most amazing friends, and a team that lifts me up and supports me, even when I’m not there.
Life is hard, work is hard, trauma is hard....but it’s all a matter of perspective and I sure do have it good. I am in love with my wife, obsessed with my kids, and surrounded by positivity. I needed this dose of perspective and my hope is that I can hold it more closely for the next decade and not need injury, illness, or tragedy to remember that I am truly blessed. 🤍
