Here and Now

My life is divided into compartments.

Husband.

Father.

Son.

CEO of our family business.

On the outside, my life looks pretty great.

But on the inside, I feel suffocated and in need of air.

Life was easier back when it was just me and my girl. What else did we need when all we had was each other?

Fast forward twenty-five years and I think...where did all that time go? I’ll tell you…

Life got busy. We made a family. We built our careers. We remained in love.

But, if that’s true, why do I feel like it’s the last place I want to be?

I made a mistake and hurt my wife with four words that I never meant to say. How do I take them back? How do I undo the hurt I caused?

Time heals wounds. Distance gives you time for reflection.

I have the past.

I jeopardized our present.

I want the future.

I want the Here and Now.
