It Really Hurt

"Always kiss your children good night, even if they're already asleep."

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I was searching for quotes from this guy and I came across this one.

Pretty banal.

However it sparked an explosive and immediate memory in my tiny brain.

I was studying for an MBA. Working days, going to school at night. My kids were young.

There were many nights I would get home from school after they were in bed and asleep.

I would grab a beer and sit on the floor in their room in the dark with tears streaming down my cheeks.

There is no more heinous wasted time than time away from your kids when they are young.
