A story written for families who know what it’s like to say goodbye for the workday. Written by a father who works late nights and long weekends. He missed more bedtimes than he wanted to. So, he wrote Sometimes I Have to Work for his daughter and for every child who has ever waited for their parents by the window.
“Even when I am far away, my love is right beside you. And to my wife, who has the hardest job of all, holding our family together when I am not around.”
