Heading to bed the other night I noticed something. I leaned in to kiss my wife before laying down and in the dim light I saw a wet spot on her pillow. Concerned I woke her and asked what was wrong and if everything was ok, she reassured me everything was gonna be alright but gave me nothing more. Stunned and confused I layed down myself and closed my eyes, still wondering what the tears where for.
The next morning was like the rest and nothing seemed any different, so again I wondered what had caused my wife such pain. After breakfast I headed to my laptop in my makeshift office to start work as usual. Hours passed as I plugged away swnding out promotion after promotion, when I looked up and noticed my wife staring at me with an almost stranger type look. I simply smiled and blew her a kiss to show her my love and got right back to work. Later that night I began to head to bed when I realized something, it all made sense now. Standing in the hallway at 3am all alone, it finally clicked. This is my life and everyday I do the same thing. The feeling of lonliness for that moment made me realize what was going on.
With urgency I walked to my bedroom where my wife lay asleep again and there it was, more tears. I woke her again and apologized for being so far away, even though I was always there. I love my family and they deserve more than a tiny fraction of my time.
This is a true story and happened to me a couple days ago. The whole moral to this story is Money can bring happiness to your family but it can also bring pain. I have made adjustments to my schedule and now to my life so that my wife and kids never feel this pain again.
Dont let too much cause more than its worth
Just look up and realize you are missed, even though your there...
Thank you my friends...
