“My wife definitely understands what’s happening. My kids, the oldest is four, then I got two and then a five month old little boy. And obviously, they don’t really understand the gravity of what’s happening. But my oldest is now kind of to the age where she’s starting to ask questions about why I’m gone and when I’m coming home. And you know, we’ve been really working on them understanding the fact that I play music, dad plays music to take care of his kids and his wife, and the family. And so they’re starting to be able to speak that back to me, I can go hey, why is dad leaving and she says, hey, to take care of the family. And so it’s definitely been a family commitment, and something that we’ve all had to invest in and sacrifice for. And so it’s pretty, pretty cool to see it unfolding well.“
