I don't know.
You know, there's, um, one thing you were asking me about, um, my mom earlier and you asked about, um, the last conversation that I had with her.
Um, and, uh, she actually left a message for me, um, even after she was gone, uh,
A couple weeks after she passed away, and I actually would love to read this to your audience if it's okay.
A couple weeks after she passed away, my dad and I were cleaning out her purse, and I came across this newspaper clipping that I keep in my wallet.
And to me, this is like – it just –
embodies my mom because I don't know if you can see it, but this is basically like on a piece of cardboard, probably from some cereal box.
And it's like, you know, got some tape on it.
This is just like who my mom was.
And it's got a quote that as you can tell, I take it everywhere with me.
It's now been 20, 21 years.
It says, Pope John Paul said it best in his address to the youths in Kamigwai.
Dear young people, whether you are believers or not, accept the call to be virtuous.
This means being strong within, having a big heart, being rich in the highest sentiments, bold in the truth, courageous in freedom, constant in responsibility, generous in love, invincible in hope.
And like I said, I found this two weeks after she died.
And I remember reading it and just thinking to myself, this is her message to me about how I need to live.
bold in the truth, courageous and freedom, constant responsibility, generous in love, invincible and hope.
And these are words that like, I just, I just take with me everywhere I go.
And I love the idea of, of your listeners and your audience taking this, taking this with them as well, man.
4,000 diseases have treatments, but 14,000 don't.
