Sorry, I was just wondering by, and I couldn't help but notice your post.
I know we really don't know each other, Tom, but the only thing I can tell you is that it takes time. No family is "perfect", but sometimes you just need to take a sec and put things in priority.
Sometimes I feel the same way, like who the hell am I to leave my wife and kids and fly halfway across the country. They know and I know that I'll be back and all will be well and good, but for the time being, things suck because we're apart.
Hope this helps, man and good luck with everything. Chris

We don't know each other at all, other than that I am a fan of your work and you have been kind enough to add me to your list. Under normal circumstances, I would not comment here but reading your words, I felt I had to. When I was six years old my father was killed in an accident doing the thing, that was his passion. His death has been the single most difficult thing in my life. His life, the closeness that I remember, the love that he gave me, is the most precious thing I have.My point in this is the most important thing is love.My father was taken from me but the love that he gave me remains to guide me to this day. A loving parent is all any child really needs.
Tom, I've been there since day one, haven't I? I've seen those two grow up, they're happy Tom, you're doing a great job, both you and Nic, a wonderful job with those two. They know they're loved, and that's what matters the most. I can't help but think that I will just screw them up. You can't screw them up, Tom. You do too good of a job to screw them up.
Well, I hope I've been any kind of help, because things like that are not my strong side. :)
I watch you with the children and you are the best father in the world. I do not understand why you have these worries and fears. You and Nic are raising two wonderful children, and you should never worry about how they will turn out because they will be perfect, loving, smart and nothing short of amazing, just like their parents.
And please, mi vida, continue to get up in the morning, even though you miss me. Every day that goes by is a day we are closer to being together again. Te amo mucho, papi.
