And I know now that she's afraid.

She's in the hallways crying and pleading with the doctors, asking for good news, begging for anything.

But she comes into my hospital room every single day with this smile on her face, with just this air of positivity, where she's going like, Colin, what do you want to do when you get out of here?

Let's set a goal.

Let's look towards the future.

I'm like, Mom, are you kidding me?

My life is over as I know it.

I'm never going to be the same again.

All I can see is the darkness.

And she just fills me with this love and this positivity and leans in.

And she finally says to me, like, do me a favor, close your eyes.

I sit there, I'm like, okay, I'll play along.

I close my eyes.

She goes, visualize yourself.

Just picture yourself in a positive light doing something in the future.

And in that moment, for whatever reason, probably because I was an athlete, I guess, I see myself crossing a triathlon finish line.

And I open my eyes and I go, fine, you want me to set a goal?

And I'm kind of saying it as a precocious kind of kid just trying to play along with my mom a little bit.

I'm like, you know what?

One day I'm gonna race a triathlon.
