On the Move
When I was 3 years old we had a wooden playground that my Dad would build every summer and dismantle every year. I thought it would be a good idea to climb the big pile of wood and nails to impress my Dad. He walked over, picked me up, and stumbled a little, stepping on a nail. Because he was diabetic he was bedridden for 6 months and almost lost his leg.
The woman he’d be training got the promotion he was in line for while he was off work. Because of that when it came time for workers to be cut down he lost his job. We ended up having to move, and that woman he trained is now at the very top of the company. Whoops
However, my parents both agree that if they hadn’t moved they would have gotten divorced. My Mom’s job was keeping her on the road for a lot of the year. Because we had to move, she had to let her job go and decided to start a home business instead… Ultimately saving their marriage.
