We were very lucky to have parents who were

Doating and loving really good parents. I

Remember once being really freaked out when I tried to grab my father's hand

We were at my elementary school and I had lost track of him and I saw him his his arm swinging in his big like adult hands

And I went to grab it and he shook me off and it was such it and unsettling scary feeling to be shaken off by your own father

And so I went to reach for his hand again and again

He shook me off and a third time I reached for his hand and he shook me off and lifted up his hands

And I looked up and I realized it wasn't my father. It was Tim Schner's death

And he was this huge I Tim Schner was a big kid. He was like a big ginger kid a friend of mine

I hate to reduce him to that. I'm sure now he's a big ginger man

Next time you go to grab my hand. I'm gonna shake you away try to trigger a childhood trauma

It might something weird my hand. I know I might start crying. Well, don't try to grab my hand

You're warned

Life could be a dream. Life could be a dream

Oh

You're listening to life is short. I'm your host Justin Long

Life could be a dream sweetheart

Do do do do

And

With me as always is

Another source of comfort in my life like my father's hand was I'll always hold your hand if you want to hold my hand
