I've always been very close with my father,

it's just that I didn't have a whole lot of access to him

growing up because he was always working all the time

to provide for the family.

And ultimately, I think, I learned that part of it was

psychological for him, you know, it was trying to

just keep busy so he wouldn't have to face these

thoughts and feelings that he had.
