It was a list that she had compiled of her important events and activities that I had missed due to work commitments, El-Erian wrote, adding that the note was a wake-up call for him. The list contained 22 items, from her first day at school and first soccer match of the season to a parent-teacher meeting and a Halloween parade, he wrote. I felt awful and got defensive: I had a good excuse for each missed event! Travel, important meetings, an urgent phone call, sudden to-do, he said. But it dawned on me that I was missing an infinitely more important point ... I was not making nearly enough time for her.
