"Because it was to spend time with you." | A Bit of Optimism #Podcast

My father was a professor at Arizona State. When he was ill, toward the end of his life, I said, I got to ask you a question. Why did you park so far away when we went to Arizona State football games? Because he would park a mile away. That was like a long walk. He said, because it was to spend time with you. He said, that was a guaranteed way that I could hold your hand for my walk to the stadium and a mile walk home. Well, so it wasn't even about going to the football game. That was his way of just spending time. And now, as a parent, as my kids get older, you think that your kids will want your protection and your money. So you work like an animal just to create that. And when you get older, you recognize what they really want is your time. Yeah.
