Garet McLendon

And he's like, look, Garrett, he's like, man, like no more money sitting out that way, man.

So, uh, I don't buy nothing unless my hands, unless I could touch it or I could see it nowadays.

And, uh,

I was burned.

And what it is is that, man, I started a life of recovery, man.

I was in there for 18 months.

I started talking to my dad again.

I talked to my mom, but I got reconnected with a relationship with a father who I didn't have, who I didn't talk to for 20 years.

And I started fresh with him.

And it was hard.

It was awkward.

It was like all the emotions you can ever think of.

But I'm going to tell you, the more time that I spent with him,

The more that I talked with them, the more that all that stuff just disappeared.

And I had a dad present in my life, man.

And all the way up to the point where he passed away, my dad was there.

For so many years, I never show up.

I never grew up.

My dad, I was nothing.

But every time my dad was like every 4th of July, every Christmas, every Thanksgiving, every whatever it is, I bring me and my daughter and I go there and I participate in every family function, man.
