A year ago was my last day at Accenture. I never regret that decision to take the voluntary separation package so that I could better care for my family. I can't even imagine what life would have been like trying to juggle the demands of the work and the overwhelming demands of our family.
In the past year, Matthew has had 5 surgeries, 3 visits to the ER, and he spent 11 days & nights in the hospital. In addition to that, there have been weekly therapy appointments and countless visits to the pediatrician and various specialists. Adding in Alyssa and Jackson each having a minor ENT procedure this past year, and various visits to the pediatrician and I'm pretty sure we would have lost our minds if I was still trying to get on early morning conference calls.
I do miss my friends from work-- the whole reason I joined Accenture in 2001 was because I really liked the people and I do miss talking to them every day. But that decision, cemented 1 year ago, was one of the greatest decisions I've made.
