A lovely read. And questions , I’m convinced we all come to ask ourselves-
Too often we feel our value comes from our “work.” It is of course a necessary concern, but our value does not live there.
It lives in the totality of how you live your life. A heart and mind of honesty, integrity, kindness never lose value.
Greeting the world with a compassionate attitude, a good work ethic, and gratitude for what you have, is a gift few people appreciate. Seems you’ve aced it!
Our household took a vote and unanimously decided that you are still super valuable to your family, your friends and your community. But I hear you all around. Social work field feels like good work but the rug could be ripped out from under us in a heartbeat. Plus that healthcare gets more expensive and more necessary, at least the possible need for it, with each passing year. ETC. Endless possibilities these days but less and less security. Great write up and thanks for sharing.

Your Dad would have loved reading that article!
He was always so proud of you and truly surprised how much he came to love you.
If he were here I am certain he would tell you that you are a wonderfully talented man
and that whatever job you take on you will do well and thoughtfully!

Aw, missing Chuck right now 💔
You're the most valuable person in the world to me, after our child and the dog, so the third most valuable, still pretty good. 😘
