I'm trained.
And, you know, I never I never would have gotten through all of that.
if it was not for my Christian foundation and my faith.
You know, man, but God, you know, God walked me through that.
And I often think about all of the mothers that have lost sons and especially the ones that lost sons that have cancer, the ones that have to go to dialysis, the kids that lost their children and they're homeless.
Yeah.
And they don't have no...
random mothers that buried their son that don't have money to pay for a casket and a tombstone.
I'm talking about mothers that have lost their sons that's three years old.
Two years old.
I was talking to a mother last week
Her two-year-old daughter died in her sleep.
And my daughter was on the tennis court having tennis practice, and I was walking back and forth in the parking lot on speakerphone trying to uplift a mother and let her know about God will see you through all of this.
And, you know, sometimes God will let you go through stuff, man, where you can be there for others.
That's a thing.
And I thank God for just allowing me to start the healing process, to start to feel like I can take a deep breath, to start to see the sun again or to feel the warmth of the sun.
And I don't take those little things like that for granted.
That's a big deal.
So it's not about me.
And if I can help somebody heal, be there for somebody, have someone to talk to, then that's my job.
