Like,

when I was playing the schedule, our, our family's life schedule, you know, for the year and every day kind of had to revolve around me.

Right.

I can't pick the kids up.

I got a, I got physical therapy at this time.

And February comes, I'm leaving for spring training.

You know, you're everybody's schedule revolves around me.

And now I'm doing, I'm revolving around everyone else's schedule for the most part.

And I, and I love it, you know, they supported me for,

so long my wife adair supported me for the 16 years we've been married um and now i'm home and able to really you know i i'm able to revolve around their schedule which um i feel like i owe it to them so by the way

Yeah, I mean, and I know everybody, every guy who has a family and has to travel goes through that, you know?

Oh, man, I got to do this trip again.

And maybe even something you're excited about, but you still got to leave your family behind, you know, for however long.

It's never easy.

And I did it.

50 times in the last five years um with all the travel and and them having to get get home for school you know i did it 50 times where it was hard but i was like i knew the right move was to pack the bags kiss them goodbye and you know we'll we'll talk on facetime tomorrow or whatever but this time it was you know i was lucky to be in a position where i could make that decision um

And say, not have to worry like, oh, if I don't go, I'm not going to get that paycheck.

We can't afford that.

And there's people in that situation.

And I've been in that situation.
