(NAT SOT CAMPUS BELL)

Dad always said.. That life...

(nat sot bell)

Has a way of reminding us..

(short nat pause, maybe this) (14;14;07-11 don't put her blankets on the wetness.. where would u like me to put it)

 That change, is inevitable.

(nat sot)
(10;53;15-21 when I went to school in Colorado.. I left with one duffel bag and that was about it..hahaha)

Now Dad's from around the country...are packing up seemingly EVERYTHING their daughter has ever owned.. and letting go.

(sot)
(13;45;20-27 does it feel like you're losing something? Yeah. Can you explain it? I don't know.. it's just gonna be weird without her)

Back in the day.. Tony lived in that dorm. Now it's his daughter's new home.

(sot)
(13;44;47-54 what's the feeling? Sad. Is it, nods, Why? Because she's leaving)

Dad's and daughters.. there's just something different there, right, AL?

(sot)
(14;10;51 Feel different than your son? No. Really? No feels like how life should be. kids should go off to college and grow and experience things like we did when we went off to college and I think it's great.)

Al may be good.. but this is Mike's one and only. She's been in the barn with him for the last 14 years helping him train horses.

(sot)
(10;56;56-01 that's my hardest thing.. I can't protect)

She's been in the barn with him for the last 14 years helping him train horses

(sot)
(10;57;43-55 can you tell what you'll feel like today when you drive off.. I little excitement .. pause...and a lot of sad.)

 

(10;24;13-18 dad always.. if you're here 10 minutes early.. then you're 15 minutes late)


Dadism’s.. Bart was telling me how his daughter fell in love with OSU and found a roommate on the class of 2025 Facebook page.

(sot)
(10;20;42-48 is that your daughter, your daughter's moving in with my daughter..no way.. are you kidding me.. no way.. what are the chances)

Life's funny like that. I probably should have told you.. I’m one of those Dad’s today.

(sot) (stay with my family)
(10;19;59-06 you won't cry with her.. you'll wait, I’ll try to wait because if I break then my wife's gonna break)

Change...

(sot)
( You're my bestie)

Is good.. right?

(sot)
( don't cry)

Dad always said embrace it.. and you'll be fine. Right , Al?

(sot)
(14;12;10-14 you'll be fine. I'll be fine? yeah, come on we'll be fine)
