There are something/someone in your life that you can't bear to leave any missing chapter in her book.
However, in the arena of choices, some gave up the opportunity of his lifetime to see, feel and be presence for the whole process of development of this person.
A father I know, has opt out to participate in his kids' role play in their entire childhood. When the kids grow up, what do they remember of the father? Just a father, not quite a loving and caring one though.
It's very difficult to get the father to be interested in participating in their lives if he is of a different mindset. He probably just want to provide materials for the family, but not interested in putting efforts to improve the quality of a family.
For the 1st few years, the wife will try hard to get him involved, but if his heart is not there for them, he is only physically there, sitting, sleeping, hoping that any outing could end earliest possible.
Soon, the family would slowly die out of hope in persuasion, everyone is taking everyone for granted. This is a common phenomenon of family lives these days.
Think deeper, look at a wider picture, if you don't love your loved ones when you still can, this opportunity missed cannot be returned. The childhood of your kids will be outgrown, there's no way to return to past and make it up.
I am glad though that I jhave outgrown the emptiness. No one can survive on stale air for long enough a time. I have chosen to take a step out and open up the windows and doors to circulate the air in the room...
Now I can breathe better, people who visit me in my room are glad to know it's a nice place restored.
