God has blessed you

I have listen to your story and have been very moved by it very inspirational like you said wasn’t the ending we were expecting but God has his plans. I just couldn’t stop listening to your story I listen to it all in one day.

Why?

Why would Brian publish a podcast that shows how terrible his parents were at being a child of a widower and a brother????
