Jann Arden

I also had a dad that was a tempest in a teapot, and he was an alcoholic, and he was like a wrecking ball through our house.

It really affected my older brother.

My older brother didn't escape it.

He spent most of his formative years in prison.

But I was wondering, why, William, do we—why do we remember—

those horrible sort of things.

Like, is there anything good?

Like I'm just now, because my dad's been gone 11 years, I'm just starting to see the good things.

I wish everyone was as excited by you.

I wish everyone was as excited.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel like I was just at church just now.

What you just said gave me goosebumps on my arms, William, because it resonated so much.

It's almost like just because this happens, just because that happened to you, just because this, you don't need to pass that along to other people.

You don't need to give that to your son.

Like my dad handed me things like $20 bills.

I've said, used that analogy before.

It's like, I'm fucking having a shit day.

And you take it from them because it looks like, oh, I guess this is meant for me.

I need to take this on.

And, you know, by the time you're 16, you're just buried in it.
