Because Ash said right from the beginning, he said, I'm bringing Owen to every doctor's appointment because I want the doctors to know what I have to live for.

I want them to know that this is how much I have to live for this child.

And then when Harvey was born, we brought Harvey along.

So Owen grew up coming to all of the appointments.

He grew up around chemo and...

Surgery and hospitals and things.

And they adored their dad.

He was just such a great... And he adored them.

And so, when he wasn't well, they knew that they had to be careful with Daddy because he's not well.

But one of the things that they loved, funny things he used to do was to throw them on the bed.

So they'd wrestle.

And one of the fun things, they'd say, Daddy, throw us on the bed, throw us on the bed.

And then they'd say, oh, can Daddy throw us on the bed?

And I'd have to say, no, you know, he's not well enough to throw you on the bed.

So that was like the... The benchmark.

The measure.

Is Daddy well enough to throw us on the bed?

And then as he got really sick... And when I actually told... Harvey was only small.

He was only just... He wasn't even five.
