I can relate to there being a cost to every action. I spent the better part of my younger years working hard and putting in the hours. Doing everything I could do to be more "successful" so I could provide more for my family. All the while depriving them of my presence a good deal of the time. So yeah, It worked out, and I was able to adequately provide for the family financially, but did I deprive them of me? And how did that ultimately impact them in the long run? So far they don't hate me, so that is something.
