In Episode #3 of "Rethinking Dad," Kevin dives into a heartwarming and relatable moment in every dad's life: the day you have to let your child go out into the world on their own.
He starts with a touching quote: "I don't leave my babies... My babies leave me." It's a sentiment that hits home for any parent.
In this episode, Kevin shares his own recent experience of saying goodbye to his 20-year-old son in Portugal. He recounts his emotional "empty closet" moment from Michael's story (Episode #1) when he watched his son ride away in an Uber, leaving a void in his heart. It's a scene that many dads can relate to.
The conversation quickly turns to how we hold on to these precious moments as our children grow up. Kevin and his co-host share personal stories that remind us all of the importance of being present in our kids' lives. Even with one son living on the other side of the world, Kevin still has two at home, serving as constant reminders to cherish every moment.
