The support of my loving wife of seventeen years and our four wonderful children has made the last two years possible. Two years ago my company won a healthcare program of national importance, and I was selected to lead it. Now I’m finally packing to go home. I’ll be commuting up to DC a few days a week now, but home every weekend. As I was packing up my office I took a hard look at a family photo that I have on my desk that was taken right before I left for this assignment. My kids look so little. My eldest son was shorter than my wife and my youngest son did not even come up to my elbow. Now my eldest son is taller than my wife by a good margin and my youngest son is almost as tall as my wife. Where did the time go? What did I miss? Was it worth it? Only time will tell, but if I was able to have any positive impact at all it was because I have a loving and supportive family who believes in what I am doing.
To my family… I love you more than you could ever know. Dad is coming home! Get the fishing poles ready!
