Ladies and gentlemen, around the world, this is the meaning of TK Kirkland, you listen to the TK Kirkland podcast.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the TK Kirkland podcast, and you know, we've all got that person in your life that you know for years,

they say, you go through shit and you see them go through shit and this is one of the shows that I want to explain to people as you get older.

If you can, you have to be there for your parents. This is my friend for over 20, 30 years and I've seen him go through so much and his mother was ill and she was weak and probably posted death.

His young man's love was so strong and so amazing that his mom is doing it so well because he took the time to put everything to the side and made it about his mom and repeated, he made it about his mother.

Some of you people out here don't like your parents or whatever but to the people who do like your parents, I'm going to show you and share with you a story about a young man who takes care of his mom, his mom is doing well, she's getting stronger, she's getting better and I want you all to, I want to introduce the world to you, a good friend.

Richard Deridan from New Jersey, aka Wiggy and my man is just a solid dude, what a player.

What's up, what's up, how you doing Mr. Kirkland?

Good to talk to you and where I could get you on the show, which is such a busy schedule.

And here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, not only is he taking care of his mom, fly as big as anything you want, bars, sneakers, pants, shirts, just so you could find it anywhere in the world.

This is just a digger that introduced me to my $1,000 pair of jeans and $1500 shoes, this sneakers, you know, you pretty much just say he was my wardrobe guy, he gave me the spark and I took off from there because I always had the money, but I always dressed like Steve Hardy.

So what up, man, I'm just over here, staying busy, making sure everything's taken care of.

Cool, now your mom was in the hospital and she was on vacation out of the country, he came back and you're just doing your thing for your mom, so what motivation to do that Wiggy?

You know, it started off maybe right before COVID and my sister told me, you don't live anymore for yourself, you live for your mom, and I'm like, I couldn't understand it, like I know I could, I live for mom, but what about you, what about my other brother, what about my other little brother?

But why do I live for my mom, but it's almost like it's been designated through the family that I am the one who I'm after and takes care of my mom, I've always been that way.

I've lived all over the country, but simultaneously I've always maintained a residence at my mom's house.

So I would always be living in LA, but I would come home, my mom got a doctor's appointment, I would come home, I live in Miami, my mom had something to do, I got fly home.

So it was always been a part of my journey that I have to make a stop at my home base before I do anything, and with that came the responsibility of looking after my mother.

There was one time when she got sick, this is even before she got sick now, the first time I ever seen my mother in distress mode.

Someone called me from her job and said, your mom is in the hospital, I stopped everything, drove to the hospital in North New Jersey, and my mom had a nervous breakdown.

That nervous breakdown almost made me have a nervous breakdown because I never seen anybody in that state before, and I wanted to cry, but I held it together because I needed to see what was wrong and what I had to do to get my mother back to normal.

So that was my first interaction or involvement with my mother not being well years ago.
