00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.742
(thoughtful string music)

00:00:01.742 --> 00:00:03.342
- [Voiceover] The other
day I was looking through

00:00:03.342 --> 00:00:05.311
old photos of me as a kid.

00:00:05.311 --> 00:00:08.983
And it struck me how similar
my dad and I actually are.

00:00:08.983 --> 00:00:10.799
We're both quiet, reserved.

00:00:10.799 --> 00:00:12.319
I realized that as a kid,

00:00:12.319 --> 00:00:15.382
my dad was the most
important person in my life.

00:00:15.382 --> 00:00:18.558
The best part of my day was
hearing the garage open.

00:00:18.558 --> 00:00:20.575
My brother and I would
sprint toward the door,

00:00:20.575 --> 00:00:23.151
screaming as we jumped into his arms.

00:00:23.151 --> 00:00:25.174
And no matter how tired from work he was,

00:00:25.174 --> 00:00:26.007
he would pick us up,

00:00:26.007 --> 00:00:28.456
pretending with us that
the floor was lava.

00:00:28.456 --> 00:00:31.159
I wonder if he wishes he could
relive those moments, too.

00:00:31.159 --> 00:00:33.672
The birthday parties, the camping trips,

00:00:33.672 --> 00:00:35.262
trips to Sea World.

00:00:35.262 --> 00:00:37.094
I think it's natural
for one's relationship

00:00:37.094 --> 00:00:39.046
with their father to change over time.

00:00:39.046 --> 00:00:40.438
It starts slowly,

00:00:40.438 --> 00:00:42.774
you begin to spend more
time with your friends.

00:00:42.774 --> 00:00:45.015
You start to date, move away to college.

00:00:45.015 --> 00:00:46.184
And before you know it,

00:00:46.184 --> 00:00:48.374
the only time that you're calling your dad

00:00:48.374 --> 00:00:50.502
is when you start filing your taxes,

00:00:50.502 --> 00:00:52.832
or your car is making a weird noise.

00:00:52.832 --> 00:00:55.895
I guess somewhere along the
way I became my own person.

00:00:55.895 --> 00:00:57.383
And then you begin to wonder,

00:00:57.383 --> 00:00:59.681
when was the last time
that I said "I love you"?

00:00:59.681 --> 00:01:01.812
"Thank you for the sacrifices
you made to give me

00:01:01.812 --> 00:01:03.668
"the best life possible."

00:01:03.668 --> 00:01:05.693
I guess he's just a phone call away.

00:01:05.693 --> 00:01:07.989
(phone ringing)

00:01:07.989 --> 00:01:08.822
- [Voiceover] Hello?

00:01:08.822 --> 00:01:09.655
- [Voiceover] Hello, Father.

00:01:09.655 --> 00:01:10.488
- [Voiceover] Hey!

00:01:10.488 --> 00:01:13.407
- [Voiceover] I just wanted to tell you

00:01:13.407 --> 00:01:14.433
I love you.

00:01:14.433 --> 00:01:16.539
- [Voiceover] Oh!
- [Voiceover] And thank you,

00:01:16.539 --> 00:01:17.731
for all that you've done.

00:01:17.731 --> 00:01:18.739
- [Voiceover] Well, I love you, too.

00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:22.348
That makes me very happy to
know that you have fond memories

00:01:22.348 --> 00:01:24.618
and that you really enjoyed
spending time with me,

00:01:24.618 --> 00:01:28.510
cus I certainly enjoyed
spending time with you.

00:01:28.510 --> 00:01:30.166
You're coming down on Sunday?

00:01:30.166 --> 00:01:31.286
- [Voiceover] For Father's Day, yeah.

00:01:31.286 --> 00:01:33.390
- [Voiceover] Okay, what time
do you think you'll come over?

00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:35.205
- [Voiceover] Probably
like in the afternoon.

00:01:35.205 --> 00:01:36.788
- [Voiceover] Okay.
