30 years is a mighty long time ! 3 decades of one’s life, of loving and losing, of the choices one makes, of the tears and the laughs, of what one gained and lost.
This company was the dream of one individual, yet the other gave up her dream to stand by him. She gave up a career which had a very bright future, to fuel his dream. Simply because she believed in him when no one else did.
Both of them sacrificed a lot to make it work. He often travelled for work, leaving his family behind. His wife and kids included. She looked after the office and handled every crisis while he was away. Together, they rose up from scratch, often having to choose between their children and the future that they wanted to build for them.
The sacrifices paid them, at the cost that both of them had never imagined. They made a great company and then another equally successful one. His dream turned into reality, but they drifted apart. Call it fate, call it the stars or the circumstances, or the evil eyes of people around them that they could see, realize or ward off.
That was his story which the world knew, the friends, the family, the industry.
But what about her story?
I guess we’ll never find out, when she has no acknowledgement of those 30 years of her life.
30 years is a long time. 3 decades of feelings, emotions and hardships.
