Highlights:
05:04 - At the age of six I lost my mom, my sister in a house fire so from that I carried a lot of resentment towards my father.
10:48 - What a jerk I was for looking at it from the mindset that he lost the one love of his life and he lost his daughter.
19:31 - There are bits and pieces throughout my life of little wake up calls that I didn't heed and I just want to say how thankful and blessed I am to still be here.
35:07 - I think a lot of my blessings are due to seeing the gratitude of the daily blessings that I have.
