[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1383825, member: 22662"] It doesn't really. I'll still sleep soundly next to my wife tonight with our sons in the next room and my daughter across the hall. I'll wake up about 2 am, maybe go have coffee with a couple drunks and chat/debate the state of the world. About 4 am I'll come home, watch a little TV, snooze.... I'll get up, pick up a co-worker, head into the station. Couple hours there and off to tending the soccer fields (fall season starts Saturday!!). Sweaty, paint stained, sore and tired I'll survey the fields and inevitably see only the slightly off nagging flaws in the days work just in time for the fields to fill with kids of all ages living their fantasies of soccer superstardom. It's a simple life. The difference I make is small and to many may at times go completely unnoticed. To my son at his doctor's appointment today, it meant everything. To all three kids as we took turns reading before bed, nothing could have replaced me. I feel like I have a good idea how Williams felt. I've been suicidal at times, not for a moment here or there, but for months at a time both drinking and stone cold sober. His decision, especially with his unique ability to affect others comes across to me as incredibly selfish and self centered. I've got it all and I'm grateful for it. Williams had it all and more and pissed it away. It really comes down to a simple axiom. Nobody cares what you have; what are you going to do with it? [/QUOTE]
