Loading player...
The global pandemic has had some devastating effects. For some, it has been with regards to their health, mental well-being, and social, while for many it has been financially.

Tim, who is the father of three young 'exceptionally smart and beautiful' girls, has been married to his childhood sweetheart for over twenty years. Their romance and relationship, even though not without its challenges, has been unshakeable. Tim credits this to his wife's ability to be the quiet in the storms. There is almost nothing that Tim and his wife do not share with one another.

However, Tim has a confession.

Something he has been holding a secret for almost six months... Tim has been retrenched.
