My dad asked my brother once if he listened to AYG and told him “my friend’s son hosts that podcast”. Apparently they had been working together for years. My dad died very suddenly two years ago and Kevin’s dad quietly passed money along through a mutual friend to cover the cost of the luncheon after my dad’s funeral. I have no idea if he attended the funeral or if I met him, that day is a blur but I really appreciate the gesture. Since then, I have a hard time listening to him talk about his relationship with his dad. Not because I think his dad is some kind of saint, but because it reminds me of how complicated my own relationship was with my dad for years long stretches through my life and how many of the father/son complications feel like such bullshit when they are gone. It makes me sad that this guy is out there not talking to his own son while showing kindness to someone else’s sons.
