i suppose that i find the over the road thing to be "the" hardest part of this job. relationships are next to imposible, and trying to explain to friends and family members why you cant make it to the reunion or the card party or picnic or funeral. seems some people take it as a personal snub of some sort x( but man, when it comes to my daughter, it breaks my heart to think that i may be breaking hers by not being there for recitals and plays, orchestra and choir, ball games and bike rides, ice cream and homework nature walks in the spring, the apple orchard in the fall. she'll be 12 in august, where does the time go!?! :-( i hope someday i can find a way to stay local and not go broke
do you have to take some sort of seminar to re-introduce yourself to normal society :+
