He tried to be there for his kids the best way he could.  I knew he tried to never let the kids down the last few years. 

One year on Christmas, which is unusual because he usually couldn't be there, but he was and he was so happy he could be. Both my mom, dad, and Kris managed to forget that me and Brynn needed breakfast and we didn't have much but me and Dad drove around to every gas station in town that was open and found things until we could call what was a "botched breakfast" he put together the most random things and somehow he had a whole Christmas breakfast for us 💜 he could always pull something together in a jiffy
