Sons and Dads: Chad Van Gaalen’s Father and my Father both passed away in the same week. It was a weird, sad patch for us both. We spoke with each other at length about our loss. I asked if Chad would be my new Dad. He agreed only if I would be his. Chad paused for a beat and said, “But if you’re my Dad, that means I’m your son - and if I’m your Dad, you’re also my son.” We laughed hard, and in that moment we became each others Son-Dad. SD for short.
