A poor relationship with your parents can make a world of difference

This episode is not explicit.

Written, Performed & Edited by Harlan Guthrie

Harlan Guthrie is a creative, nerdy dynamo. Give him a meal, he wants to know how it was made. What temperature was the oven, he\\u2019ll say. Was that tossed with olive oil? Sit in the car with him and listen to him sing harmonies with the radio. Give him an hour alone and he\\u2019ll come find you because he wrote a spooky story. He\\u2019ll read it in a creepy voice. Wait too long in the line at the grocery store and he\\u2019ll turn to you with a riddle, or beg to be told one.

Hey dad, it\\u2019s Erik. Sigh. I wanted to call and tell you some big news\\u2026 I should be honest and say that I kept delaying it\\u2026 I didn\\u2019t know how you\\u2019d react. Obviously, I regret that now but\\u2026 I guess I just wanted to say that I love you and I\\u2026 I\\u2019m sorry about being so distant these past few years, I wish things were different \\u2013 it\\u2019s easy to blame you but\\u2026 it\\u2019s my fault as well and\\u2026 well\\u2026 Taylor\\u2019s pregnant.
Sigh.

Anyway, that\\u2019s what I would\\u2019ve told you had I not been so damned bullheaded.
Sniff.

And now\\u2026 it\\u2019s been an entire week since you died\\u2026 and I have to come to terms with the fact that you are never coming back.
