Yep, all very good points...
I related to this premise based upon the major milestones of my life thus far... and assumed that the last phase described below might resonate with many others who found themselves here under similar circumstances...
I suspect that I and many folks spent the first part of our young single lives working on ourselves - many thru self discovery...
Even then, I imagine that many of us had to restart, reset and refocus a few times...
Once married and raising three kids - you are absolutely correct - each of them were the main focus of my efforts...
At the same time - even during that phase I still often found myself (as I imagine many others have) having to restart, reset and refocus with the aim (in my case) to strive to be the best example for my kids as a man of faith, a husband, father and provider...
After the big 'D' that fortunately coincided with my kids as young adults - I found myself all alone (with my dog) and that is when I discovered this CC Forum all those years ago - as I suspect that many on CC may have found their way here during similar phases in their lives... That is when this profound premise bounced back across that net and really hit home...
Yes, I recognized that even with adult kids that I will always be there father, but with a renewed focus - still striving to be that best example (still stumble) as a man of faith, father and provider... But it is now more than ever, along this last phase, where I find myself all alone that these words resonate with me to keep going and to never give up...
