You know why they call it "work?" Because they have to pay you to do it.

I remember this post specifically because it was in a thread that I started in regards to rescheduling a flight to make it to KC for a job interview. The answer, to everyone but Sac, was obvious. The overwhelming sentiment was for me to fly back and meet their schedule, which was the obvious choice, and it worked out for me.. but that's hardly my point. While I didn't take heed of Sacc's advice, I did take note at the time of the philosophical difference in perspective from man compared to that of a man who knows how much time he has left.
To Sacc, and likely to us all eventually, nothing else is more important than being around those we love. No job, money, possessions. I am so happy to hear that he got the opportunity to spend his last days surrounded by his loved ones.
Drew, thank you for your advice, and while I didn't follow it, I will remember your words and appreciate my family time even more than I ever have now.
RIP forever. You will be missed dearly.
