Heartbreak Could Have Been Prevented

James sat in his rocking chair on his front porch stairing off in space, lost in thought. Here he sat, eighty years old and living in the same run-down house that he had lived in for many years. His entire life was spent working for other people, making their dreams come true. Only now did he realize that he was so focused on pleasing everyone else that he never focused on what his dreams were, what his dreams for his family were. The most heartbreaking of all was not having contact with his children as they were just like he was, so busy fulfilling the dreams of corporate America that they were left with no time or drive to focus on themselves, on the things in life that are really important such as family.
