You've yet to have your finest hour

Tonight at the table over homework I had to explain to the boys that I would be gone before they woke up because of work.

Aidan, with his big blue eyes (the ones looking up from reading the Matrix screenplay on the right there) and sweet little-kid voice, offered to get up early and come to work with me before school and stand outside my meeting room all day and wait for me so I didn't miss him.

there are plenty of days when leaving the family is hard.
tomorrow will be even harder.
