Great story. It really hit home with me. Raising my family in Southeast Alaska. I was gone for work, for many years of my children's youth. I was lucky to have a great wife, who worked, and played both roles while I was gone. The sacrifice of being away from my family vs giving them the best life and security was worth it. There was disdain from my children as they got older, asking why I chose to do that. Well now, that they are off in the world, and raising their families. That Q's has been answered, by many thanks and understanding for what I had to do. That is what Dad's do, what ever it takes.
