When I said yes this year to another season in the NBA travelling 15-25 days a month Will and I had a discussion if we could do it or not and whether or not the sacrifice would be worth it. Being it's his last year at home, I knew the guilt as a parent that comes with this kind of decision would be real, and it was /is. Every time I leave I get this sick feeling in my stomach of the everything I miss when I'm gone: the drives to school, the games, the look on his face when he comes come and I know what kind of day he had, the sheer comfort of just knowing he's around me and in the bedroom beside me . I don't know if it's 'worth it' per say to ever not be around your kids but what I do know is that a lot of growth has has happened and I'm more than confident that he will thrive his first year away at college as he has been forced into independence .. he gets himself to school, practices,games, work (with sometimes some intervention from friends - you know who you areπ... he feeds himself , gets his laundry done and somehow finds a way to even make sure the house is clean when I get home. All this to say... I'm so proud of you Will and Thankyou for sacrificing this time together and always making it so easy so I could also pursue my dreams .. you are a special soul and I'm so excited for what the world has in store for you .
