Spent the last 8 days in the hospital.
Was miserable.
Though me and my team learned a few new things that may put a stop to having crises every 4 weeks, which is a major blessing.
Likewise this spring, I’ve gotten a bit more sentimental. Opened up more with my closest people about what I’m dealing with and how it impacts my present and future.
I’d love to tell you it « feels good », but it don’t 🙄. It’s not my style though it is important.
So I do it.
I think I can be a better friend for it. Definitely a better lover. Absolutely a better peer, colleague, leader too.
Ultimately a better father, which is what matters most to me.
Been doing the other schtick for 5 decades now, seems time for a change. So I’m mastering being responsible for myself and others without feeling the need to be discreet about so many things.
Don’t worry I won’t cry, overly emote, or be sitting on Oprah’s couch anytime soon.
I say this more as an invitation for you to do the same in important areas of your life. Your family wants the best for you, as well as, the best of you.
Keep em wanting more because they’re excited to grow closer to you, not because you’re a mysterious figure in black who gives nothing special up, ya dig?
As I learn more about this new step, you know I’ll share it with ya.
Family First,
Knox!
P.S. If this subject is on your mind too, you know where to discuss it with me.
