There isn't much worse than when a parent abandons a child, no matter the age of the child.  And Travis knows this first hand as he has lived his whole adult life without his father present in his life for no real reason.  Despite efforts made over the past 20 years to get together for dinner or to meet his grandchildren Travs dad just couldn't show up for him.  

But when Travis was faced with the decision to move 400 miles to help his sister take care of his dad when he needed it there was no hesitation.  It is truly amazing what can happen to a family when you silence your ego and let unconditional love take over. 

This is the tribute Travis gave to his father at his graveside service in October of 2018.
