Ugh …

Tonight I am the worst father ever. While trying to work on something I ignored you playing at my feet. When you tried to play with me I got upset and raised my voice. I feel horrible. Not only because I raised my voice, but becasue I missed an opportunity to play with you, as though there would be plenty of them to come. I’m writing this to remind myself never take for granted the time I have with you right now. It only happens once … and if I ignore it, it’s gone forever. So me, future self, listen up. Stop working when your kid is around. Start playing. You can always work, you can’t always play.
