It was actually like seeing things.

Seeing my dad with his brothers, I'd never seen that a day in my life.

because he has four of them, actually, was very weird to me, and I couldn't, like, grasp it.

They're just talking.

They have, like, so much to catch up on within years, and it's not that he doesn't belong.

Obviously, that's his family, but, like, that is, you know...

Not his family, family, like where his family, like his future wives here.

So seeing my dad like sitting there with the past as if they're littles and, you know, the present is somewhere else.

It literally feels like he's catching up on the past and in my opinion, not going anywhere.

I definitely feel like the dream is possible.

There is a change of plans, unfortunately.

But that doesn't mean I can't continue his legacy.

And my dad definitely didn't come here

For, I believe, 20 or 24 years of his life here, built all this, and us give up.

It's a little crazy to say, but that actually made me a little bit more determined.

Like, it makes me work harder because he's not here.

I do co-ops.

I work full time, you know, ever since life took a big turn financial wise.

So I'm always constantly working when I'm not in school.

It's a very busy life.
