Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired Podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by classical

But for most of my childhood, growing up, we would only talk a couple times a year, see each

other a couple times a year at most. At the age of three, he decided to do his own thing. He's

apologized for that. He's really owned up and manned up to the decisions that he's made that hurt me

in my siblings. God's working in him in really cool ways. That doesn't change the reality that I
