This is completely off-topic from what we normally chat about here. But I have to call out how wonderful people in small business can be. My wife and I welcomed a new baby boy into the family on Oct. 10. The bad news is that he was born with a heart defect and is waiting for surgery to repair it. It’s a very fixable condition with little to no side effects after he makes it through the surgery.
For those of you that are medically-inclined, he has Transposition of the Great Arteries – not a walk in the park but a common heart condition. We are at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and are very impressed with the staff here. They are wonderful and are some of the best in this business.
We have had SOOOO much wonderful support from both of our offices, past colleagues, friends and family. It really put a lot of faith back into humanity when something like this happens and everyone reaches out to help. Normally I’m not one to ask for help. I’ve always made my own way; but this experience has proved beyond any doubt that there are countless wonderful people out there. The normal cut-throat pace of business stops for a few seconds when a personal crisis hits.
At the end of the day, small business executives really care about their staff AND their families. And we all rally behind someone in times of need. And for that, I thank you!
Please keep him (and us) in your thoughts and prayers for the next few weeks.
