Jalen Brunson: "How many?" Rick Brunson: "Till I tell you to stop. Go"

[@nicolas4you]

This is what it's like to not only have a father in your life but a Dad as well 100% for his son. My Dad RIP spent 0 time with me on anything. Thank God for my MOM and especially my Great-grandmother who raised me since 8 years old. I know I am not alone there are many like me I'm 64 years old now but seeing this makes me feel good.

[@RT-qz5ci]

Was he putting food on the table though?

[@DeepestQuotesAnd]

Same here. except my dad not only spent 0 time on me, but has always been a terrible example to follow, which I still followed unconsciously, which made me a bad person for 40 years. Miraculously, this things called the internet and KZbin taught me how happy people live their life and I try to apply that now.

Crazy - my mom was strict like that with me with schooling, and it made me go to school, get good grades for college and grad school.
