Am I right?

What is that timing?

Something needs to come out of me.

How do you think the timing of all of that impacted the decisions that you had to make?

Yeah.

I remember when my babies were little, kind of complaining to other moms about having to leave so much.

And they were like, you know what, Emma, it gets so much harder as they get older.

And I could never imagine that because I was like, yeah, but when they're older, they're more self-sufficient.

But when they're older, they need you more.

And when they're older, they know the number of days that you're away.

And so it does get much harder.

And I think this age, I mean, listen, parents will tell you all the ages are so complex, but when you have kids that are

between kind of like five and 14 when they're like not fully hanging out with their friends, but they need you and like you're their friend and they still want you in that way.

It's a very big decision to get up and go.

Well, you don't want to miss it.

I love that.

I love that.

I mean, I do the same thing.

And I think it is really important that your kids see you sacrifice.

They understand the sacrifices, but you're being really honest, right?
