Quote from his son:
> From a personal point of view, I would say to myself ‘I am working in something my dad made.’ Every time I would walk in, I would say, ‘Thanks Dad.’”
As a dad, I should be so lucky as to create something my son will appreciate like that.
Also, Whitfield lived to the age of 92. What a blessing that must have been to his son, to have such a great role model and to have him still in his life for many decades. Maybe it’s just something I think about a lot because I lost both of my parents young.
Losing a parent, especially, leaves its mark.
It does, but it's better than the alternative.
I exist because my mom's mother died a year earlier. My brother exists because my mom's grandmother died a year earlier.
Recently, with my mom’s passing, I realised I’m now an orphan.
It really sucks, at any age.
