It's the motivation minute 60 seconds of awesome saw starting right now, you know, it's April 19th today and every April 19th

The crowdlies quietly celebrate the birth of our son and maybe thinking wait a hold on a second. You have four daughters

That's true. That's true, but our very first child Matthew was born on April 19th of the year 2000 now

tragically

My wife delivered it 20 weeks. So Matthew was born

We got a chance to hold him in the hospital for the better part of a few hours until his little heart stopped beating and then we had to say goodbye

And it was a very very difficult time

My wife especially and we drove home, you know a few hours after that. It was just a really just a sad sad day, but you know what?

In that tragedy you've had tragedy we've had tragedy

We found the joy. I mean without Matthew giving his life Madeline would have never been bored just a year later and in succession our other daughter's lower page and Susan and so we celebrate April 19th

We pray we thank God. We got a chance to hold that little boy for you know what felt just a minute

Which was a few hours and if you're going through some tough times all right, they don't last and the memories that you have

Although they are a bit somber, you know, I'm not gonna try to sugarcoat it

There is meaning to it and you really never get a chance to see that until you're well-past that time, you know

And so if you're going through tough times right now

You won't be able to really figure out the meaning we always want to find out why this is happening

You'll find out we found out because we were blessed with four healthy children that we would have never had and so

It's April 19th. We say happy birthday to our little buddy and our baby boy that was born

22 years ago today although he was only here for a few hours

He made such an impact on our lives and you know what happened it just it happened for a reason

I don't know all of it all of it, but I know one thing we are

Basking in the joy of what we do have and replacing expectations with gratitude
