If only

A lot of the things I want in my life are the things people take for granted. And it saddens me.
A friend was telling me how he dreads going straight home  after work and he meets friends for happy hour every day  because his kids are going to want his attention as soon as he walks in the door and his wife is always upset when he shows up late because she likes for them to have  dinner together as a family every evening. She has a full time job, she does all the cooking and cleaning and the nurturing and he complains. 

(What I wouldn't give for someone  to care enough to be upset...)
