Dr. Misner,

Thank you for sharing this personal testimony. I have traveled for years and too missed important events in my family’s lives.

Today I have a “date” with my daughter every month. We started when she was 12 years old. We go to different restaurant and spend time together, just the two of us. We play a game that was designed for Dads and Daughters to play together. Each month we go through a series of questions like “If I could change one thing, it would be…” We alternate answering the questions and explaining why we feel this way. It has led to some very moving discussions that have strengthened the bonds between us.

This isn’t a commercial. I don’t sell the game. Like Bob, I have found a way to bring together my daughter and I in spite of the years of heavy travel. I hope every parent can learn from your story.

Not to mention the power of the message for us as we build business relationships.

Thank you again.

What an inspiring idea!! Thanks for sharing the creative solution. I have to travel a lot too…I am sure the little Bob has played an important role of reminding all the busy travelers- never forget those dear ones at heart even if business needs are demanding.

What a perfect example of Raising the bar! When we talk about being specific is terrific. This story says it all. A picture of you & your message on the first trip would have been nice. But including BoB made it specific and terrific.

Hi Ivan

I absolutely love the BOB idea! I am a very sentimental person, so I can totally relate to your “relationship” with BOB and why he is so special to you.

Cassie is a lucky girl to have u as a dad, and I am sure she will excel at college and make u even prouder of her than u already are.

Take Care

Joy
