Cue the happy tears! In honor of Fatherโs Day on Sunday, June 16, Ryan Seacrest, Sisanie, Tanya Rad and Patty shared fond memories of their dads on-air on Friday, June 14.ย
Sisanie, Tanya and Ryan all called their dads to wish them a happy fatherโs day, while Patty shared a story that sheโll never forget.ย
โHe came to this country when he was a teenager โฆ he did it the old fashioned way, through the desert, and heโs now a US citizen, but it took a very long time for him to get to that place,โ Patty shared of her father, Carlos. โAnd he worked so hard just to give us the basic necessities.โ
The nowย mom of two continued that her father instilled the work ethic she has today and also recalled an emotional moment sheโll never forget.ย
โOne thing him and I connected with was the love of soccer,โ Patty added. โI was 13 and I was listening to the radio station and they were giving away tickets โฆ and I needed to pick them up at the radio station.โ
Patty explained that the only way she could pick up the tickets was if her dad skipped work and drove her there. They ended up getting stuck in traffic and their one and only car broke down.
โAnd I was so upset at him,โ Patty continued. โI was so mad and selfish because we werenโt getting the tickets because his car broke down โ just being a stupid teenager โฆ It kills me to this day to think about it,โ she shared through tears. โHow selfish I was. Like, he missed worked, โฆ and he was doing everything he could to make me happy.โ
Patty hadnโt shared that story with her father yet and concluded that sheโll forever cherish how much her father did and still does for them.
