00:00:00.040 Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice.
00:00:04.800 I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.
00:00:07.940 Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime.
00:00:12.200 I wonder if my out-of-office has a forever setting.

00:00:30.000 I saw the story the other day I was talking to Tom.
00:00:32.940 It's been now a year and a half that Bailey's been in school.
00:00:37.600 It's a year and a half, two years, something like that,
00:00:39.140 that Bailey's been in school.
00:00:41.100 And so I said, Tom, I said, hey, Tom, have you adjusted?
00:00:45.220 And Tom's like, it's interesting you ask that question.
00:00:47.600 You know, you never fully adjust, but I'm kind of there, you know,
00:00:51.140 where it's like you see and, you know,
00:00:52.220 every moment I get for Bailey to come here from school, I want to have it.
00:00:56.520 But at first when it happened, Tom had a hard time with it.
00:00:59.020 When we were at dinner one time, I was asking him about it.
00:01:00.820 And then every time I see Tico, I'm like, man, dude, I got four more years with you, guy.
00:01:05.300 And I appreciate it.
00:01:06.160 I read this the other day.
00:01:07.100 I think some parents will relate to this.
00:01:09.280 And I think some kids who ever wonder why fathers do what they do, it's like, dude, why does he do that?
00:01:15.120 What's wrong with this guy?
00:01:17.140 So he says, my dad drove 40 minutes to pick me up at the airport.
00:01:21.260 I was furious.
00:01:22.600 I had already told him I was taking the train.
00:01:25.480 Don't come pick me up.
00:01:27.260 It was almost midnight.
00:01:28.080 he was standing by the car in his slippers
00:01:30.480 you shouldn't be driving this late
00:01:32.560 nice to see you too
00:01:34.260 he picked up my suitcase
00:01:36.140 back in the car I brought it up again
00:01:38.860 dad the train drops me off
00:01:40.980 particularly at the front door
00:01:42.560 I know and now you have to
00:01:44.820 drive all the way back home with me
00:01:46.440 I know that too
00:01:47.840 he didn't argue he just kept driving
00:01:50.080 then I noticed a paper bag
00:01:52.760 between us an egg sandwich
00:01:54.700 an apple the same lunch
00:01:56.940 used to pack for me when I was a kid. You probably ate something on the plane, he said. I wasn't
00:02:02.040 sure. I ate the sandwich. He asked me about my trip. Our phone calls were usually short. How's
00:02:08.460 everything going? Good, just busy with work, but this time we had 40 minutes. So I told him about
00:02:14.820 the presentation that had gone badly. Then I told him about the co-worker who had helped me,
00:02:20.480 about the hotel window that wouldn't close, about the dinner I had eaten alone. He missed our exit
00:02:26.720 because he was too busy asking what happened next.
00:02:30.540 Neither of us mentioned it.
00:02:32.340 When we pulled up outside my apartment, I tried one last time.
00:02:36.220 You know you didn't have to do this.
00:02:37.820 He kept his hands on the steering wheel.
00:02:39.500 I know.
00:02:40.200 You can get home on your own.
00:02:41.700 Then he looked at me.
00:02:42.900 I just wanted to hear how your trip went.
00:02:46.400 That's when I realized something.
00:02:47.840 I had spent the entire drive explaining why he didn't need to pick me up,
00:02:52.560 and he had spent the entire drive asking me about my life.
00:02:56.200 We sat there a little longer.
00:02:58.120 Then I told him something about work that I'd never had the courage to tell anyone.
00:03:02.460 He didn't give me any advice.
00:03:04.360 He didn't tell me what I should have done.
00:03:06.100 He just listened.
00:03:07.220 Then he said to me, you'll figure it out.
00:03:09.620 It was such a simple thing to say, but somehow I needed to hear it from him.
00:03:14.440 The next morning, I checked my return flight for the following month.
00:03:17.580 I started typing.
00:03:18.900 Don't worry about picking me up.
00:03:20.320 I deleted it.
00:03:21.240 Then I typed, are you free on the 18th?
00:03:23.920 My flight lands at 7.
00:03:26.040 I started the message, then I hit send.
00:03:29.220 My text back, 7 a.m. or 7 p.m.
00:03:31.360 He said, 7 p.m., good.
00:03:33.040 We can have dinner.
00:03:34.020 A few seconds later, unless you already ate it on the plane, I smiled.
00:03:37.940 Some people say, I love you.
00:03:39.520 Others drive 40 minutes at midnight with an egg sandwich on the passenger seat.
00:03:45.480 Isn't that amazing, Tom?
00:03:47.180 I read this and I thought of you.
00:03:49.000 Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice.
00:03:53.260 I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.
