(I'm no genius) I built a fair amount of wealth and now I have a farm where I spend more than 50% of my time with my kids to break the cycle of my horrible past and to make sure they grow right and are close to their folks. Don't even know if they will ever appreciate it, but it is the right thing to do. Bless you - I will think of you
