Another long over due post. You would think that with quitting my job a couple months ago I would have much more time on my hands to write. Well the truth is I do have a bit more time but I have been spending it on something much more important. Being with and taking care of you.
I finally did it. The road had come to a dead end and I decided to turn around and take a new direction. It has not been easy and we are not where we want to be money wise but remember what I have told you in past posts. Doing what you love and spending time and making memories with the ones that love you is far more important than having a lot of money n the bank. I am only working part time now and trying to grow the gym to the point of it making us money.
My only true regret is that your mother has had to start working again. I know she hates the time away from you even if she enjoys her job. I feel responsible for this even though it was unavoidable. She loves you more than anything on this earth (As do I) and has not worked in so long. This is not the ideal situation for us but we are now working towards a goal, something to make our lives what we hope and deep down know it can be. When you struggle working towards something like that it means a bit more than just being miserable with nothing to look forward to but your next day off. Trust me.
It's funny, I have so many thing to tell you and so many ideas I think will help you in your life but when I sit down to write all I want to do is tell you how proud your mother and I are of you already. You finally (after three weeks of working with you) have said and understand on site the word "ball". This will sound silly when you read it but you do not understand the satisfaction of hearing that. That little single syllable is like a PR in weightlifting. A sign to prove that we are moving forward, not just in the sense that you are growing up but we as a family. There may or may not be a move up north in the near future. If there is it will be a great leap forward. If there is not we will stay on the steady course we have already set out on here. Either way it unfolds will be fine and exactly what was meant to be. That is all I will say right now.
I will leave you with this. A quote I heard today that should alway ring inside your head as you grow and search and struggle and succeed.
"We don't get to choose how we start in this life. Real greatness is what you do with the hand you are dealt."
