Priorities got flipped overnight

The day my son was born everything I thought mattered suddenly didn't. The promotion at work, the new car, the apartment in the cool neighborhood. All of it just faded like it was never important. Now my priorities are sleep, his baseball games, and not screwing him up emotionally. Miss the ambition sometimes. But mostly I'm just glad I get to be here for this.

The new car will just sit in the driveway anyway. Your son won't remember the car but he'll remember you were there.

Real talk right here. I cut back on overtime because of this exact feeling. My family doesn't need more stuff, they need me present.

Everything changes the moment they're born. It's weird how fast it happens.

That promotion doesn't mean anything if you're not around to see your kid grow up. Took me way too long to figure that out. Glad you got there faster.
