Football season is about to start. I used to always watch the opening day games with my dad. I'm halfway across the country now though, and we won't be able to do it in person for a long time. Makes me miss him
Oh dang, that is too bad.  Can you guys video call?
Eh, we're not really the type to do that. Especially not him. And it's not worth it. Just a phone call here or there. Just miss the tradition is all. We're big family people
Oh OK, hopefully you have some friends you can bring over and share your traditions.
