When I left the house this morning I was wondering to myself if I should stay a little longer to provide whatever encouragement and support I could for my wife and son as they got ready for work and school. A research paper (now ready to hand in!), a vocab test, and other academic stresses have affected (perhaps infected) the whole family. At the office I checked Jamie Johnson’s daily journal and realized spending another hour or even half hour at home would have been a better choice than making my usual early departure.
