Summary
"When you’re gone, when they go through your stuff or when they talk to your friends at your funeral, it will be undeniable clearly: God, your dad just loved you so much. You were all he talked about. He was more proud of you than anything. Just look at all these photos he kept. And news clippings. And mementos.
They’ll know this because it’s true, because the evidence will speak for itself.
But what about, you know, if you speak for yourself?"
Ryan explains why it's so important to explain your feelings to your children now, while you still can, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
