#2Thank you very much for this. As adults, we often forget we need to cherish those around us. I hope author finds peace.

me too.

#5I took a step back in my career to work from home, and bring my kids to the kindergarten with my bike some days, and take a late lunch and eat their "dinner" with them, and it has been totally, totally worth-it.
Remote work being a set-back is possibly a side-effect of how I selected my new gig, but it has suited me so well, I don't care about the (temporary) career stagnation.
Beautiful story, I felt it hard.

#7I think we need to care about our parent too. As they become old, we are just fly away from them and they will struggle in their stage as us. Damn life.

Same here. I think the work-life balance that remote work provides is understated in our society.
I get to be far more involved in my kids day-to-day, I know their teachers, friends, and generally what's happening in their lives.
I think of the alternative (what I grew up with, and what a lot of my friends with kids are still doing) and it's sad.
Barring the awful circumstances of the article (my heart goes out to the author) spending time with our children shouldn't be a chore to fit in.
Hug them, tell them how much they mean to you, that's important. Being present in their lives though, for the brief period that life affords us, that is essential.

Good job. But at least your job as a coder you can work anywhere. But some of us have the job that have less choice than another one. But that depend on our priority, our family, our career. our love one.
