I get it now…
I’ve always felt that there was something missing from the relationships I’ve had in Santa Barbara. I recently figured it out. I feel as if the guys are saying, “This is my life and my pace, and if you can keep up, you’re welcome to join”.
I’ve had the pleasure to befriend a very happily married man and stand in awe at his relationship. They have such a strong and healthy relationship and I knew I could learn a lot from him. He is living across the country from his family, working a new job while the kids finish the school year before they join him. Tonight, he shared a conversation he had with his wife. She was feeling a little down about uprooting her life and moving thousands of miles away. He said to her, “just say the word and I’ll pack up and come back, because it’s not home without you anyway”.
That’s what’s missing.
