What I Regret The Most Of All

From 1995 to 2010 i worked my butt off. 60 to 100 hours or more. I have been to work on Friday mourning and come home Monday night. On lots of occasions.
I have had 3 wrecks falling asleep on the way home from work. I ran the same stop sign at a T intersection 3 times. I started to paint my name on the sign.
I missed kids birthdays, parties, family reunions, my anniversary, wifes birthdays, weddings, you name it i was working.
When i got sick all work did was hire 4 new electricians to take my place.
However my wife dropped everything and took care of me. My wife never ever cusses but i am ex military so i do. When they were bringing me out of my coma i heard my wife talking junk to the 2 intern doctors.
Dont do what i did. I gave up so much to be the best and most valuable employee. That i did not pay enough attention to what was the most important of everything. My family.
My Dad was just like i was. He worked from 5am until 10pm almost everyday of the week except Sunday. Sunday would be 1/2 a day after church.
The sad part is our family did not need the money. I had a lot put up but cancer took everything i had.[:(]

it hit me hard one day when i came home early and my youngest was running down the hall and stopped and said "hi dad" and continued to run, i realized he did not know me at all and would never know me if i stayed that path
to bad i never learned about cooking during that time
