Quote from Jack Perry

Today is kind of bittersweet. I don’t talk about it too much. My dad died like seven years ago. It’s not something I think about in a big way every single day, obviously, I think about it, but it’s been seven years and thankfully I’ve been able to have other stuff to put my mind towards. Today, coming here and being in this building, the only time I’ve been here is walking around with my dad. It was interesting and cool to be here in this way, but it was also sad because I was thinking that the best I wish could be here the most isn’t here. It’s tough but I think about the people I am lucky enough to have here. My mom and sister got to be here, which I’m grateful for. To be here with my best friend Luchasaurus, who almost died a year ago. He had his illness, and I’m sure he’ll get into that at some point. It just puts it all in perspective. Real life happens, and it happens in ways you wouldn’t expect. To have this happen in this building, without getting into too much detail, there have been a lot of highs, but there have been some really low lows that I never really anticipated having, because I guess you don’t. There were times when I wondered, Did I give my life to the wrong thing? Am I not doing well enough? Did I make a mistake? You only get on go around, maybe, I guess, who knows. I thought, this is my life, did I make the right choice with it? I’ve questioned that at times, which hurts. To be here now and succeed in such an overwhelming way, with my family and friends, in a company that I’ve been part of since day one, that reaffirms to me that I made the right choice. I thought, I hope somewhere my dad can see this.
