My Daughter Asked Me One Question (And I Had No Answer)

Описание: I'm 73 years old. Three weeks ago, my daughter asked me a question I wasn't ready for: "Dad, why were you always working?"

Not angry. Not accusing. Just curious. And I realized I had spent 37 years confusing providing with being present.

I missed the spelling bee. The volleyball games. Her first heartbreak. I thought I was building security for my family, but I was actually missing my daughter's childhood. She forgave me long ago, but I haven't forgiven myself.

If you have kids and you're reading this while thinking about work, close the laptop. Go be with them. Because children don't remember what you bought - they remember if you were there.

This is raw, honest advice from someone who's lived long enough to know what actually matters. Don't waste years figuring it out like I did. Learn from my mistakes and make better choices while you still have time. 🕰️
