But I, you know, I think I just want her to know that, you know, that I was there for her when she needed me to be there.

And I cared about her and I spent as much time with her as I could.

And, yeah, I mean, I think that just being there for someone and just caring about their life.

Yeah.

And because, you know, it's like, I want to believe that I can just give my kids advice and then they just take it and then they never have problems because they go, well, my dad lived through this and now he has the experience.

So what he told me matters.

So I'll just not make any of my own mistakes because my dad already made them all for me.

I'd like to believe that, but

Uh, I know that's not a reality necessarily.

Now I think you can take, you know, you can take some advice, but people are still going to make their own mistakes.

But yeah, I mean, I'd like, uh, for her to say that, yeah, my dad, um, uh, made me important in his life that I was important to him and that he was there for me.

Yeah, you know, there's a John Anderson song called Wish I Could Have Been There.

And he's just talking about all these moments that he missed with his kids because he had to work.

And he was a truck driver.

He probably didn't have any other options in this song.

But I always think about that, and I'm like, well, I want to be there.

I can't be there for everything because there's going to be things that I miss.

Regardless if I'm a comedian or if I work at Lowe's.

Window washer, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's going to be things that I miss, but I want to be there for things.
