The story in today’s paper quoted me as saying “I would have been more concerned if this had happened two years ago” The story implies my optimism was based on the current job market. While that certainly plays a role in my optimism, the quote was taken from my description of how my personal priorities have changed.
Think back two years ago. Back then, I didn’t know what it meant to be a father. The incredible love she’s brought into this world has shown me just how unimportant a job is compared to family. I can lose a job and its no big deal. I could never lose a family.
So, yeah. I still need to put food on the table, and I will eventually do that. But I’ll always be Daddy, no matter what.
