I need something else, man.

What if I’m not able to provide like I am?

It shouldn’t be on anybody else but you.

It’s been eye opening.

In a confessional interview, Tim then goes deeper into his big dilemma.

I want to be able to give them more of all that I have.

Tim is feeling the distance from his family, but also making a commitment for when he returns.

It’s one thing to be away from home, but I’ve had no contact.

What is my family doing?

What is my wife up to?

I miss them more than I portray.

I clearly don’t need my phone.

I clearly don’t need food.

I just need them, really.
