what a story, thanks for the write up!
your reflection made me realize how wild the last few years have really been… it’s easy to forget some of this stuff or downplay it when looking back.
Thanks. I got a bit out of story mode in the second half and more into detail mode but hopefully tied the detail portion into the themes of the stories ok to make it flow.

To be honest, I can't tell where this "second half" starts. I think it was very well written in a consistent matter. That story flowed so hard, I was surprised and sad when it ended. But ending it with you leaving Toronto was obviously a too good opportunity I guess.
And I am not saying this (just) because I want to read more from you now.
My highlights:
My son’s early years were very challenging as we managed a life traveling back and forth between Toronto and LA until finally settling permanently in Toronto, so I could focus on my business. I didn’t want my second child to experience the same unsettling early years. I would wrestle with the “am I doing the right thing for my family” question for years to come.
Not much to say (words wouldn't do it justice anyway) but it was very touching to read this.
My income was plummeting rapidly but the value of my assets were skyrocketing. Nothing made sense.
I think we all go through this "nothing makes sense"-phase. It's like walking through fire and you wonder why there even is fire while everyone else doesn't even notice. It's like this meme except you realize that it's not fine, you hate it and you're looking for a way out:

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
