I’ve been spending a lot of my commuting time lately thinking about the amount of time I spend with my kids, and how best to balance that against my requirement to provide for them, through making a success of my career and my personal self.

Today I pause and remember a man no longer with us – my father.

Today is Dad’s 46th birthday, but sadly, he isn’t here for it. Eleven years ago, he succumbed to the black dog and took his own life.
