    Everytime I see the flag in front of my neighbor's house. He lost his wife. :( My other neighbor was standing at the foot of the south tower when plane 2 hit. I'm thankful not to carry their burdens.

    Bruce, I really respect your decision. All too often these days you hear about people going for the money instead of what they truly love. My hat off to you sir!

    You were right Bruce, there was no decision there. I did the same thing a few years ago, decided I didn't want to be on the road all the time and miss my kids growing up. I would've made more money, but I'm home for dinner nearly every night.

    I know I am very lucky to have parents that are still together in this day, But divorced or not. I can't imagine what it would be like not to be able to have dinner with my parents. Or even one of them. I don't know how I would deal with having a father that lived halfway around the country and I am 18. Good choice Bruce. If your daughter hasn't thanked you she will trust me.

    Wow Bruce, the F-Chat offer for batteries during the holidays must have been very successful for Energizer to make that kind of offer!!! :)

    You're a good man. Enjoy your daughter and congrats on the decision.

    BTW, I have a 7 figure income now and it's not all it's cut out to be. $10,529.62 :)

    Bruce,

    I know it's been posted in this forum 100 times already, but you are doing the right thing. We've only spoken "live" one time, but from that conversation and this thread I can say you are a man of conviction and to be admired. I would do the exact same thing in your situation. You'll never regret it.

    I truly admire your commitment to your daughter.

    Brent
