[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1495569, member: 24027"] A lot of these post resonate with me. My husband came from nothing (seriously, an outhouse) and worked diligently, even as a kid, got his 1st job at a bank when he was 17. Fast forward 30 years and all I asked for my birthday one year was NO work - my birthday was on a Sat and my request was simply no pager, no work emails (clearly this was before cellphones). My wish came true - sorta - because we spent the day with him in Immediate Care & subsequently jacked up on meds. Fast forward another 7 years when he was CEO/Pres & we were able to retire when he sold the company, bought the ranch, built a house, bought the cattle. That's when the real work began! Who knew I would become soooo passionate about cattle? Him, not so much. And he's had a multitude of health issues the past couple of years so I'm essentially doing everything myself. Not all bad because he's finally starting to appreciate all the little things. But unfortunate because he never really had a chance (self imposed) to spend much time with his kids and now grand kids because they're so far away. Little "Cat's in the Cradle" for him but as much as I loved my corporate job/life I'm happier now than ever. Bonus, I don't have to go to a gym! [/QUOTE]
