They didn’t care where I was going. The told me to follow my dreams and have no regrets”. He further continued,

“Thats’ what I’m trying to do with my kids now. Obviously I’m trying to parent in my own way, but I want them to enjoy life. They’re young now but if they want to play sports they can play sports, if they don’t, they don’t have to. Just enjoy and follow their dreams,” Patrick added.
