And I was like, am I going to make my way out of this?

Am I going to die here?

Is what I started asking myself.

And I started talking to God.

And I remember that rock bottom moment.

Again, like I said, when you're brought to your knees, that's when you're halfway to praying.

It was that moment of total helplessness that I started talking to God and I said, if you please give me a chance, if you please let me live, I promise you as much as I can, I will give.

I want to give.

And what I meant by that was, and I said, like, I just feel I haven't emptied myself yet.

you know, I've got more to give.

And I remember just pleading with God and just the tears just streaming down my face and just saying, yeah, if you just let me live, if you let me get through this, I promise you, I will empty myself and try and give from whatever you've given me.

And

It was incredibly scary.

the thing that's taken from you.

Correct.
