Oh. What's that? What's my dad? Jason's dad, Joe, has various health issues that have worsened over time
0:13
It's hard talking about him in that sense because he's just a hard guy
0:22
He's got that Clint Eastwood type, tough mentality, like nothing bothers me
0:26
Nothing can hurt me. And growing up, that's all we've always seen in him, is that he is invincible
0:34
A month and a half ago, my aunt calls me, who never calls me
0:39
You know, she had just said, hey, Jay, you got to come down
0:43
Your dad, you need to come down and say goodbye to your dad. And I was like, wait, what
0:51
Jason drove all the way from Virginia to Florida to spend time with his dad
0:57
It was pretty hard knowing in my head that after I spent a week there, that when I left to come back, that 11-hour drive was pretty tough thinking that I was never going to see him again because that was really what everybody was telling me
1:13
So, sorry if I get emotional a little quick. Said goodbye to him
1:19
He said goodbye to me, and he said, Jay, I don't know if I'm ever going to see you again
1:23
and I said, I'll tell, Dad, you're going to see me again. So for his 50th birthday Jason wife Amy made sure those words came true What Oh What What What Dad Yeah What the hell
1:44
What are you doing? I'm doing. I'm going
2:02
Give me the kids right. I'm going to her a hug, too. It was, I mean, what you don't see in the video is, you know, me breaking down after that
2:19
To know that he made that trip up here for my, just, you know, that's what he said
2:29
He said, I'm not going to let you go. Spending your 50th birthday without me here
2:37
It was just the emotions that came with that trip. And after the reunion, Jason got to show his dad
2:50
that no matter what, his legacy and what he taught him in life
2:54
will always live on forever, even in the small ways
