We prepare for work meetings with precision.
We learn names.
Anticipate questions.
Plan every moment.
But what about dinner?
We show up distracted.
Ask shallow questions.
Let the most important meeting of the day…
pass by without real connection.
This reflection from jonvroman hit me hard.
Because presence isn’t just about being at the table.
It’s about how we show up.
And when you’re a father that dinner table?
It’s not just a place to eat.
It’s where we teach love.
Respect.
Listening.
It’s where memories are made... or missed.
