 People have asked what I've been up to since retiring in 2018. I like to say I've spent as much time as possible with my daughters instead of focusing on a job.

If you met my girls in Nashville then you understand.

They had the most incredible time last week. I keep getting texts from them saying they can't believe how fun it was. My favorite text:

"What is your life, dad."😂

I want to stay close to my daughters for the rest of my life. The only way that's possible is with a lot of time, patience, and love.

I feel like we started something new together, and it feels pretty good.  
 They’re almost adults and will be living their own lives soon enough. Sure you can be 
 involved but it’s not a full time job. It’s time to find your next adventure. 
 I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

 This is the way. 
 This is the way. 
 Great to meet your family and to finally get some baklava 🤙

Can definitely tell how much effort you've poured into raising your kids as well 
 🙏🧡 
 Kids need good dads,  i was raised by a single one 
 This is my last year 
Inspiring 
Thanks 
 🤝🧡 
 You are an inspiration, every dad has much to learn!! 
 We are learning every day. 🧡🙏 
 You sound like an amazing father. Well done! 
 if you have solved the money problem and are not self-centered, this is the logical way to go in life 
 good for you mandrik, i'm doing very similar. i 'retired' in 2018 and am just focused on family, enjoying life, and only doing work that feels like play ☺️
