Don't Lose Yourself

On Monday morning, following the holiday weekend, I was getting ready to go to work. Angelina, who had apparently gotten used to having me around the home for the previous three days, looked concerned by my putting on the shirt and tie. She came over to me and said, "Daddy, you going to work?" After I replied in the affirmative, she became very serious and said, "Daddy, don't lose yourself."

Good advice, not only for that day, but for life.
