Notable quotes
“It's the happiest day of my whole life.”
“We were crying walking to the stage, and like, I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to be at these types of things, but like as two, you know, as two guys, and it's really difficult for men to talk about mental health and especially to talk about mental health when it's in a real bad state, which is a lot of the feelings that many men feel after losing a child.”
“I'm tired. I'm very tired. That's how much it takes.”
“There is not a moment of silence in my house.”
