I just remember getting back to school and wishing I could call him so bad and asking questions about an idea or this or that.

And it took a little while to get over that and kind of realized, man, that guy's not here anymore.

So I don't know if that's what I missed the most about him, but I think I was just getting to the phase of life where we were becoming real good friends and not son and father.

You know what I mean? And, you know what I mean?

And, you know, I could kind of be myself more and say things and do things that, you know,

you know, I was growing up.

So I often dream about what that would be like, you know, being grown men together

and cracking a beer together and that kind of stuff.

But I guess when we get to heaven, we'll see what that's like.

Hey, guys, I'm Miles.

And I'm Ruthie.

And welcome to the unspoken podcast, where we believe that saying the unsaid may be the hardest,

but one of the most important things we can ever do.

Yes.

Our authentic self is the best gift that we have to offer this world.

But sadly, we live in this culture that tells us that we should hide it.

So we would love for you to join us and listen along.

And we hope that you might find connection and healing and the courage that no important words go unspoken.

Make up fake love.

Make them all laugh.

Come on someone,

take off your nice.
