Being a journalist and reporting live is not easy, and Jim, as a husband and a father, often took a backseat in his life.
His work was essential to him not because he had a family to feed, but because big responsibility laid on his shoulder.
However, his wife, being loving and supporting, always respected his work.
As a workaholic, Jim even decided to compromise in his ambitions and give more focus on his other aspects of life at one point and provided enough time for his children and family.
