Stay tuned to meet a woman
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
who over came adversity
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
and discovered
her divine purpose.
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.00
My name is Jason Bradley
00:00:06.03\00:00:07.44
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:07.47\00:00:09.34
Hello, and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:32.39\00:00:34.26
My guest today is SaMonna Watts.
00:00:34.30\00:00:36.53
And she is the founder
of Extraordinary Living.
00:00:36.56\00:00:39.73
Welcome to
Urban Report, SaMonna.
00:00:39.77\00:00:41.50
Thank you. I'm
glad to be here, Jason.
00:00:41.54\00:00:43.57
It's pleasure to have to you.
00:00:43.61\00:00:45.01
It's always a wonderful thing
00:00:45.04\00:00:47.14
when you can walk
in our divine purpose.
00:00:47.18\00:00:49.98
Yes, it is.
00:00:50.01\00:00:51.35
God has a divine--
00:00:51.38\00:00:52.81
and I'm a firm believer of this.
00:00:52.85\00:00:54.18
God has a divine
purpose for each one of us.
00:00:54.22\00:00:57.22
How did you discover yours?
00:00:57.25\00:00:59.65
Well, I can say I
discovered mine through pain.
00:00:59.69\00:01:03.02
I was staying
home with my children
00:01:03.06\00:01:06.59
and I came to a point in my life
00:01:06.63\00:01:07.96
where I was just
really seeking God,
00:01:08.00\00:01:09.33
figure out what it was
that He created me to do.
00:01:09.36\00:01:13.64
I had a career, you
know, I went to school.
00:01:13.67\00:01:15.67
I was attorney and I
started my own business.
00:01:15.70\00:01:19.04
But that's not what I
was looking for, you know.
00:01:19.07\00:01:22.18
I was asking God, "What
did You create me to do?"
00:01:22.21\00:01:25.41
Not a career per se.
00:01:25.45\00:01:27.18
And through my
wrestling with God
00:01:27.22\00:01:28.95
and praying and
really, really seeking Him.
00:01:28.98\00:01:31.22
About it, He showed me
that He wanted me to speak.
00:01:31.25\00:01:34.62
And so I was excited about that
00:01:34.66\00:01:35.99
'cause I like
speaking and running my mouth.
00:01:36.02\00:01:39.09
Right, you know, so I was like,
00:01:39.13\00:01:40.93
"Okay, Lord, what
will I speak about?"
00:01:40.96\00:01:42.60
And I had ideas in my mind,
00:01:42.63\00:01:44.13
I said, "Oh, once my business
really gets off the ground
00:01:44.17\00:01:47.14
then I'll go out and I'll
speak and I'll be the success
00:01:47.17\00:01:49.60
and," But as I continued
to pray and seek God about it,
00:01:49.64\00:01:53.64
He showed me that He
wanted me to speak on faith.
00:01:53.68\00:01:57.85
And then
basically encouraging people
00:01:57.88\00:01:59.41
because, I discovered
that my spiritual gifts
00:01:59.45\00:02:02.12
were faith,
exhortation and leadership.
00:02:02.15\00:02:05.42
So based upon that it
kind of gave me some guidance
00:02:05.45\00:02:07.92
as to where I
believe God wanted me to go.
00:02:07.96\00:02:11.13
So I was excited about that.
00:02:11.16\00:02:12.96
I didn't know how
that was gonna unfold
00:02:12.99\00:02:14.60
or when this divine purpose
was gonna be manifest for me
00:02:14.63\00:02:19.70
but a few short months
later my 5-year-old son
00:02:19.73\00:02:23.91
began to complain of headaches.
00:02:23.94\00:02:26.61
And then that's when the purpose
00:02:26.64\00:02:28.44
became very, very clear.
00:02:28.48\00:02:30.88
Now I want to interject.
00:02:30.91\00:02:33.42
Before we
expound on that purpose,
00:02:33.45\00:02:36.28
before we visit that purpose,
00:02:36.32\00:02:38.49
I want to let our
viewers see the family pictures.
00:02:38.52\00:02:42.62
I want them to see, Brayden
and who we are talking about.
00:02:42.66\00:02:45.93
Yeah.
00:02:45.96\00:02:47.30
So introduce your
family to our viewers.
00:02:47.33\00:02:50.67
Oh, yes.
00:02:50.70\00:02:52.03
This is little Savanna is who
I'm holding that's my daughter
00:02:52.07\00:02:55.57
and that's my husband Van
and that's our son Brayden,
00:02:55.60\00:02:58.87
who was five at the time.
00:02:58.91\00:03:01.81
Lots of personality,
lot's of personality.
00:03:01.84\00:03:04.81
He's a joy. He
looks like an amazing kid.
00:03:04.85\00:03:06.75
Great energy and
very handsome I might say.
00:03:06.78\00:03:13.36
Now-- and that's
him and his sister.
00:03:13.39\00:03:15.32
Yes, sister Savannah.
They are 13 months apart.
00:03:15.36\00:03:18.26
Okay. So that was
his little sister.
00:03:18.29\00:03:20.80
Oh. Best buddies.
00:03:20.83\00:03:22.53
Precious.
00:03:22.56\00:03:24.83
So he was telling
you he was starting
00:03:24.87\00:03:27.44
to have headaches
and what happened.
00:03:27.47\00:03:31.11
What transpired after that?
00:03:31.14\00:03:32.61
Well, he told
me he had headaches
00:03:32.64\00:03:33.98
and so you know, as a
parent we're concerned.
00:03:34.01\00:03:36.24
And I took him to the doctor.
00:03:36.28\00:03:38.15
I took him to
the doctor on Monday.
00:03:38.18\00:03:39.51
He complained on Sunday.
00:03:39.55\00:03:41.38
The doctor
couldn't find anything.
00:03:41.42\00:03:42.78
So he sent me home.
00:03:42.82\00:03:44.39
I took him back to the
doctor again on Tuesday
00:03:44.42\00:03:46.76
'cause the complains continued
00:03:46.79\00:03:48.12
and so he sent me
for some further testing
00:03:48.16\00:03:50.29
and on Wednesday he told
me that CAT scan was clear.
00:03:50.33\00:03:52.99
Nothing to worry about,
mom, it's probably migraines.
00:03:53.03\00:03:55.86
But something wasn't right.
00:03:55.90\00:03:57.63
And Thursday evening we found
ourselves in emergency room
00:03:57.67\00:04:00.70
and they did further
testing and the doctor told us
00:04:00.74\00:04:04.01
that he found two
masses on Brayden's brain.
00:04:04.04\00:04:07.91
Oh, no.
00:04:07.94\00:04:09.28
And so at this point, you
know, that is devastating,
00:04:09.31\00:04:12.55
you know, I-- it
was devastating news
00:04:12.58\00:04:15.08
and I remembered just
kind of staring at him
00:04:15.12\00:04:18.25
with this blank stare
00:04:18.29\00:04:19.62
and my husband asked them
00:04:19.65\00:04:21.42
and he said, "Don't
try to sugar coat anything.
00:04:21.46\00:04:23.49
Tells us what
are we dealing with."
00:04:23.53\00:04:26.46
And he said it's
probably very serious.
00:04:26.49\00:04:29.43
And when I was sitting
there listening to the doctor,
00:04:29.46\00:04:31.63
he said something that
will always remain in my heart.
00:04:31.67\00:04:35.80
He looked at us and he said,
00:04:35.84\00:04:37.51
"I see the Spirit of
God all over you guys."
00:04:37.54\00:04:40.38
And for me it was as if God
was giving us encouragement,
00:04:40.41\00:04:43.61
letting us know, "I am with you
00:04:43.65\00:04:46.25
even though you're receiving
this devastating news."
00:04:46.28\00:04:48.38
Yes.
00:04:48.42\00:04:49.75
So from there I
just-- I left the room.
00:04:49.78\00:04:51.49
I was in a daze and a nurse
saw me walking down the hallway
00:04:51.52\00:04:56.12
and she immediately grabbed
me and took me to her office
00:04:56.16\00:04:58.63
and said, "Hey,
you can stay in here
00:04:58.66\00:05:00.00
and get yourself together."
00:05:00.03\00:05:01.46
And when I was in this office,
I literally fell to the ground
00:05:01.50\00:05:04.87
and I just cried out to God.
00:05:04.90\00:05:06.57
I literally
just cried out to God
00:05:06.60\00:05:08.10
and I said, "God,
I can't handle this."
00:05:08.14\00:05:12.01
And it was like light
bolts are going off my mind.
00:05:12.04\00:05:15.74
So I started thinking about
how God works and I was like,
00:05:15.78\00:05:18.08
"Oh, no, He wants to speak,"
00:05:18.11\00:05:20.62
and generally,
people that God really uses
00:05:20.65\00:05:24.42
have gone through the ringer.
00:05:24.45\00:05:26.52
They've gone through
some of the serious things.
00:05:26.55\00:05:28.49
Those trials and tribulations,
00:05:28.52\00:05:30.23
we don't
understand their purpose
00:05:30.26\00:05:32.36
but we serve a God that knows
the end from the beginning.
00:05:32.39\00:05:35.06
Yes, we do. We do.
00:05:35.10\00:05:36.43
So continue
unpacking that for us.
00:05:36.46\00:05:38.33
Yeah, so in my mind I was lie
whoa, you know, this is what,
00:05:38.37\00:05:42.87
it was like just
flash in my head,
00:05:42.90\00:05:44.44
this is what God wants me to do.
00:05:44.47\00:05:45.81
He wants me to speak and I
have to go through this trial
00:05:45.84\00:05:48.64
to be able to do His will.
00:05:48.68\00:05:51.28
And I said I didn't want it.
00:05:51.31\00:05:52.65
I told Him, I said, "No,
God, I won't speak for you
00:05:52.68\00:05:54.72
if I have to go through
this because I want my child."
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.19
This is the child we struggled
to have, we prayed and prayed
00:05:57.22\00:05:59.92
and prayed and prayed and
asked God to bless us with him
00:05:59.95\00:06:03.29
and then when he came,
00:06:03.32\00:06:04.66
he was like answer to every
single prayer that we prayed.
00:06:04.69\00:06:07.63
"So, Lord, no, not this child."
00:06:07.66\00:06:11.13
But as I lay there on the floor,
00:06:11.17\00:06:12.57
something amazing happened
00:06:12.60\00:06:14.27
and I literally heard God
speak to me and through my tears
00:06:14.30\00:06:18.81
and my crying out, He said,
00:06:18.84\00:06:20.54
"SaMonna, what makes you think
00:06:20.58\00:06:22.54
I won't bring you
through this trial victorious?"
00:06:22.58\00:06:25.15
And I was done, I was
like, "Whoa, Lord," you know.
00:06:25.18\00:06:28.75
I didn't know what
victory was gonna look like
00:06:28.78\00:06:31.65
because He didn't say
I'm gonna heal Brayden.
00:06:31.69\00:06:33.89
That was my prayer.
00:06:33.92\00:06:35.59
He didn't say He was
gonna put Brayden to sleep.
00:06:35.62\00:06:37.63
But He guaranteed me victory.
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.93
And that's what
gave me the strength
00:06:39.96\00:06:41.93
to move on in our journey.
00:06:41.96\00:06:44.37
Wow. Yeah.
00:06:44.40\00:06:45.73
So how do you feel that
He prepared you this trial
00:06:45.77\00:06:48.87
or did He prepare
you for this trial?
00:06:48.90\00:06:50.77
I mean, you can never,
00:06:50.81\00:06:52.14
you can never be fully
prepared to lose the child.
00:06:52.17\00:06:55.18
Then looking at
those pictures of Brayden,
00:06:55.21\00:06:57.18
I mean, he looks like he had
an award-winning personality.
00:06:57.21\00:07:00.72
Yeah, he was great.
00:07:00.75\00:07:02.35
And I do think
that God prepares us.
00:07:02.38\00:07:06.02
Now this particular
trial, in mind, my God,
00:07:06.05\00:07:09.02
there is no
preparation in the world
00:07:09.06\00:07:10.89
that could prepare a parent
for this particular trial.
00:07:10.93\00:07:14.66
But in essence
He had prepared me
00:07:14.70\00:07:17.13
because I had experienced
other trials in my life,
00:07:17.17\00:07:19.13
you know, looking
back there, not that big
00:07:19.17\00:07:21.70
but when I was
going through them,
00:07:21.74\00:07:23.57
they were big and
struggling financially
00:07:23.61\00:07:26.84
when I made the decision
to stay home with my children
00:07:26.88\00:07:29.94
which I believe
God told me to do.
00:07:29.98\00:07:31.91
So you know, I had that struggle
00:07:31.95\00:07:33.92
and when I left undergrad
00:07:33.95\00:07:36.62
I thought I was
supposed to be a doctor.
00:07:36.65\00:07:37.99
So I went to medical school
and God just shook all that up.
00:07:38.02\00:07:44.23
How far did you
get in medical school?
00:07:44.26\00:07:45.69
I went through the first half.
00:07:45.73\00:07:48.30
Okay. All the book work.
00:07:48.33\00:07:50.30
So I didn't pass my boards,
00:07:50.33\00:07:52.30
the board that separates
you from going on to clinicals.
00:07:52.33\00:07:55.30
Wow.
00:07:55.34\00:07:56.67
So that's where I was
and for me, being a go-getter
00:07:56.71\00:08:00.44
and always doing well in school,
00:08:00.48\00:08:02.54
it was traumatizing
at that point in my life.
00:08:02.58\00:08:04.95
It just was
really, really traumatizing
00:08:04.98\00:08:06.65
and I had an experience with God
00:08:06.68\00:08:08.85
where He just kind of
brought me through that
00:08:08.88\00:08:11.25
and led me down
in different path
00:08:11.29\00:08:13.05
and I was okay with that.
00:08:13.09\00:08:14.42
Yes, I mean, after you putting
in all that work and then...
00:08:14.46\00:08:17.33
And all that money.
Yes, and all that money.
00:08:17.36\00:08:20.30
The school is not
cheap. No it's not.
00:08:20.33\00:08:22.50
By any means. It's not.
00:08:22.53\00:08:24.93
So after you doing all
that and then finding out
00:08:24.97\00:08:28.10
"This is not what I
have for you, SaMonna,"
00:08:28.14\00:08:31.41
what was going
through your mind at the time?
00:08:31.44\00:08:33.17
Yeah, you know, and God is
good because He sent the answers
00:08:33.21\00:08:38.91
and He sent the
solutions to me quickly
00:08:38.95\00:08:40.95
because in a year I was in
law school on a full scholarship
00:08:40.98\00:08:44.29
and school was sweet.
00:08:44.32\00:08:45.65
It was like
everything just switched.
00:08:45.69\00:08:47.59
The struggle that I was
having there, God was like,
00:08:47.62\00:08:49.79
"That's not where I
want you to be, here."
00:08:49.82\00:08:52.36
And everything went smoothly.
00:08:52.39\00:08:53.73
So it was like, "well, God
I can't believe you did that."
00:08:53.76\00:08:56.20
And so that part of my
life, you know, it was fine.
00:08:56.23\00:09:00.34
And then we come
to the next stage
00:09:00.37\00:09:04.04
of trials and difficulties.
00:09:04.07\00:09:06.98
But without a
shadow of a doubt, the--
00:09:07.01\00:09:12.45
having a child
and becoming a parent
00:09:12.48\00:09:14.18
and the love that
you have for a child,
00:09:14.22\00:09:16.62
seeing that child sick,
there is no other pain or trial
00:09:16.65\00:09:20.69
that I have
experienced in my life
00:09:20.72\00:09:22.06
that would compare to that.
00:09:22.09\00:09:23.43
Wow. That would compare to that.
00:09:23.46\00:09:25.69
And so we-- when
we left the hospital
00:09:25.73\00:09:31.07
from that Thursday night,
00:09:31.10\00:09:32.97
actually we didn't leave,
they told us you cannot leave.
00:09:33.00\00:09:35.84
We have to transport you.
00:09:35.87\00:09:37.21
It's so serious
00:09:37.24\00:09:38.57
and we have to transport
you to Children's National.
00:09:38.61\00:09:41.08
And we went to
Children's National
00:09:41.11\00:09:43.14
and it was like bad news
after bad news after bad news.
00:09:43.18\00:09:46.01
Every time we
talk to the doctors,
00:09:46.05\00:09:47.82
it seemed it got worst.
00:09:47.85\00:09:49.55
When we got there they told
us, "Oh, yeah, this is serious.
00:09:49.58\00:09:52.39
He has to have a brain surgery."
00:09:52.42\00:09:54.19
So Thursday they tell us this,
00:09:54.22\00:09:56.39
Monday he scheduled
to have brain surgery.
00:09:56.42\00:09:59.19
And this is a
lot for a 5-year-old.
00:09:59.23\00:10:01.06
Somebody, you know, he
didn't know what's gonna happen
00:10:01.10\00:10:03.03
but needles, being
confined to a hospital bed,
00:10:03.06\00:10:05.77
you can't eat, it
was trying for him.
00:10:05.80\00:10:08.60
Scary thing as kid,
I mean, you're in pain,
00:10:08.64\00:10:11.41
you're confused,
you see the worry,
00:10:11.44\00:10:13.24
I mean, I know, as parents
you try and hide the stress
00:10:13.27\00:10:17.11
and the worry from the
kids but I mean, you can't.
00:10:17.15\00:10:19.65
That's such a devastating news.
You can't really discuss that.
00:10:19.68\00:10:23.55
So you sitting there
confused and just terrified.
00:10:23.59\00:10:27.59
So and that's challenging
to see him go through that.
00:10:27.62\00:10:30.36
Yes. Go through that.
00:10:30.39\00:10:31.86
But he had his brain surgery
and the surgery went well
00:10:31.89\00:10:36.46
and I remember sitting there
praying while we were waiting
00:10:36.50\00:10:38.60
because that was torturous
to wait for five six hours for,
00:10:38.63\00:10:43.71
you know, "what's going
on, did they make a mistake,
00:10:43.74\00:10:45.47
you know, did
something go wrong, is he okay?"
00:10:45.51\00:10:48.04
But I was praying I was
like, "God, can this be it.
00:10:48.08\00:10:50.45
Can it just be a
cyst and they come out
00:10:50.48\00:10:52.71
and say we got it
all, everything is fine."
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.05
But in my spirit,
it's like the Lord said,
00:10:55.08\00:10:58.02
"SaMonna, testimony
is not great enough."
00:10:58.05\00:11:00.39
And low and behold,
when the doctor came out,
00:11:00.42\00:11:04.09
he said "Surgery went well.
00:11:04.13\00:11:05.93
We were able to
resect the tumor.
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.33
But there's
more concerning news.
00:11:08.36\00:11:09.70
This definitely is cancer.
00:11:09.73\00:11:11.43
Wow. So...
00:11:11.47\00:11:13.57
How did Brayden
cope with this sickness?
00:11:13.60\00:11:16.37
Oh, he, poor thing.
00:11:16.40\00:11:19.04
He's very, very smart.
00:11:19.07\00:11:20.51
Very, very, very,
very, very intelligent child.
00:11:20.54\00:11:23.35
So when doctors were coming
00:11:23.38\00:11:26.25
and the idea of even putting
him to sleep so he could--
00:11:26.28\00:11:29.28
he didn't like it.
00:11:29.32\00:11:30.65
So it was always a struggle.
00:11:30.69\00:11:32.92
When you see the
nurses coming he's like, "No,"
00:11:32.95\00:11:34.76
you know, he would
just basically cry out
00:11:34.79\00:11:38.09
because mentally he knew
00:11:38.13\00:11:39.69
there was no tricks that
were gonna work with him.
00:11:39.73\00:11:41.50
You know, they had
Child life come in,
00:11:41.53\00:11:43.26
they would try to
distract him but he was--
00:11:43.30\00:11:45.53
he didn't care
about teddy bears,
00:11:45.57\00:11:46.90
he cared about
00:11:46.94\00:11:48.27
what you are about to
stick into his arms, you know.
00:11:48.30\00:11:49.64
Absolutely. So it was very hard.
00:11:49.67\00:11:52.81
And many times I had
to literally hold him down
00:11:52.84\00:11:56.24
in like a bear hug for them
to do stuff with him and that,
00:11:56.28\00:12:00.98
it just wears down on
you as a parent to have to go
00:12:01.02\00:12:03.99
through that and
to be the bad guy,
00:12:04.02\00:12:06.65
you know, so he
can get his treatment.
00:12:06.69\00:12:08.32
And how long was he
in the hospital for?
00:12:08.36\00:12:11.49
He was in the
hospital for two weeks
00:12:11.53\00:12:15.86
and then we were
transferred to Philadelphia
00:12:15.90\00:12:19.60
for radiation treatment.
00:12:19.63\00:12:22.30
And when we were
there, it was a--
00:12:22.34\00:12:24.41
we stayed in a Ronald McDonald
house which was very nice.
00:12:24.44\00:12:29.34
But everyday we'd
had to the hospital,
00:12:29.38\00:12:31.78
every single day.
00:12:31.81\00:12:33.15
And when we get
up in the morning,
00:12:33.18\00:12:35.08
he would start crying.
00:12:35.12\00:12:36.79
He would just start crying.
00:12:36.82\00:12:38.15
I know I have to go
to the hospital mommy
00:12:38.19\00:12:39.52
I don't want to go.
00:12:39.55\00:12:40.89
Just crying so every
morning it's a struggle like,
00:12:40.92\00:12:43.73
Lord, please and
it just wears you out.
00:12:43.76\00:12:47.86
Yes.
00:12:47.90\00:12:49.23
And they had to put him
to sleep everyday, you know,
00:12:49.26\00:12:50.60
'cause they are kids
so he wouldn't move or,
00:12:50.63\00:12:54.00
you know, mess up the treatment
00:12:54.04\00:12:55.74
and the idea of that they had
to put in the mask on his face
00:12:55.77\00:12:57.94
so that he could go to sleep,
00:12:57.97\00:12:59.31
he was screaming, "I
don't want to go to sleep,
00:12:59.34\00:13:00.68
I don't want
them to put me sleep.
00:13:00.71\00:13:02.18
I know what
they're doing, mommy."
00:13:02.21\00:13:04.28
It was torture.
It was torture. Yes.
00:13:04.31\00:13:08.88
But the God, the God brought
us through those tough times.
00:13:08.92\00:13:11.95
He really, really did. Wow.
00:13:11.99\00:13:13.32
And then I mean, he's got--
00:13:13.36\00:13:15.42
anytime you are in the hospital
00:13:15.46\00:13:16.79
and you have to stay there
for an extended period of time,
00:13:16.83\00:13:19.69
they are
sticking you with needles,
00:13:19.73\00:13:21.06
you got people
coming to wake you up,
00:13:21.10\00:13:22.80
take your blood, and man, it's,
00:13:22.83\00:13:25.47
you don't get
rest in the hospital.
00:13:25.50\00:13:27.24
No. You don't. It's
not a place to get rest.
00:13:27.27\00:13:28.60
It's not fun,
especially, not for a kid.
00:13:28.64\00:13:30.87
Yes, absolutely and
then seeing that mask
00:13:30.91\00:13:33.24
and knowing the result
of what was about to happen.
00:13:33.27\00:13:37.25
But as the parent
I can say that I was,
00:13:37.28\00:13:39.48
I was so impressed with him.
00:13:39.51\00:13:40.85
His bravery, you know, that
he was actually trying to cope
00:13:40.88\00:13:43.69
'cause I don't
like getting shots.
00:13:43.72\00:13:46.12
But you know, he had resolved
in his mind that he was gonna
00:13:46.15\00:13:49.32
be a big boy and he
was gonna do it and he did.
00:13:49.36\00:13:52.13
Absolutely. He did, he did.
00:13:52.16\00:13:53.50
That's amazing.
00:13:53.53\00:13:54.86
I mean, at 5-years-old,
00:13:54.90\00:13:56.23
it sounds like
he was pretty tough.
00:13:56.26\00:13:57.60
Yeah.
00:13:57.63\00:13:58.97
Now at what
point did you realize
00:13:59.00\00:14:00.34
that he might not make it?
00:14:00.37\00:14:02.94
Well, after we left,
00:14:02.97\00:14:04.31
we finished the radiation
treatment in Philadelphia.
00:14:04.34\00:14:06.47
We traveled back to
Maryland to start chemo.
00:14:06.51\00:14:10.15
And we met with the doctors.
00:14:10.18\00:14:12.05
They did their
preliminary testing
00:14:12.08\00:14:14.22
and they were gonna
start us the following Monday.
00:14:14.25\00:14:17.09
But they called us into
the office and they said,
00:14:17.12\00:14:20.06
there is no need to do chemo.
00:14:20.09\00:14:21.72
Brian's not gonna make it.
00:14:21.76\00:14:24.56
And that was traumatizing.
00:14:24.59\00:14:27.06
You know, I was so
worried about the chemo therapy,
00:14:27.10\00:14:30.60
it had never cross my
mind that he might die.
00:14:30.63\00:14:33.87
Not at this stage of the
game. And so I was heart broken.
00:14:33.90\00:14:38.94
But I resolved my mind that
00:14:38.97\00:14:41.41
this is what the
doctors have said
00:14:41.44\00:14:44.48
God hasn't told me
if Brayden is gonna live
00:14:44.51\00:14:45.85
or if he's gonna
die so at that point
00:14:45.88\00:14:47.38
we were still gonna fight.
00:14:47.42\00:14:48.75
You know, they suggested that
I go home and contact Hospice.
00:14:48.78\00:14:51.62
But I just couldn't do that.
00:14:51.65\00:14:53.59
So my husband and I, we prayed
00:14:53.62\00:14:56.02
and my in-laws had
found a doctor in Mexico,
00:14:56.06\00:15:02.80
who said he would do his best.
00:15:02.83\00:15:05.17
He practiced
alternative medicine.
00:15:05.20\00:15:06.53
So we flew out to
Mexico to give it one last shot
00:15:06.57\00:15:11.17
to see if Brayden, you
know, would make it through.
00:15:11.21\00:15:13.11
And I honestly did not
think that he would die.
00:15:13.14\00:15:16.51
I believed whole heartedly
00:15:16.54\00:15:17.91
that God was
going to heal my son.
00:15:17.95\00:15:19.78
He had opened the doors.
00:15:19.81\00:15:21.28
The treatment in
Mexico was $50,000.
00:15:21.32\00:15:23.79
Friday they told
us he was gonna die.
00:15:23.82\00:15:26.35
I put a post on Facebook.
00:15:26.39\00:15:28.09
On Monday, we
had $50,000 dollars.
00:15:28.12\00:15:30.23
Wow.
00:15:30.26\00:15:31.59
With people
donating from social media
00:15:31.63\00:15:34.33
to get us to Mexico and
it was just such a blessing,
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.57
I said, "God," you
know, "Thank You, thank You."
00:15:37.60\00:15:40.04
God knows that we need.
00:15:40.07\00:15:41.40
You know, when we need
it, for whatever reason.
00:15:41.44\00:15:44.11
So I literally did not
think my son was gonna die.
00:15:44.14\00:15:49.24
After we finished
the treatment at Mexico,
00:15:49.28\00:15:51.48
things happened there that
are really they are too terrible
00:15:51.51\00:15:55.02
to even kind of
repeat in my head
00:15:55.05\00:15:57.32
but he wasn't doing well.
00:15:57.35\00:16:00.06
So we traveled to California
00:16:00.09\00:16:01.92
and we stayed with
my husband's parents
00:16:01.96\00:16:05.09
and he just wasn't doing well.
00:16:05.13\00:16:07.86
But it never, I--
No, he's gonna be healed.
00:16:07.90\00:16:10.70
I just figured it was slow burn.
00:16:10.73\00:16:12.07
God was just taking this thing,
00:16:12.10\00:16:13.44
you know, it was slow process,
00:16:13.47\00:16:15.07
natural healing takes a while.
00:16:15.10\00:16:17.17
But one day and actually
I want to say this first,
00:16:17.21\00:16:20.14
when Hospice doctors would come,
00:16:20.18\00:16:22.81
he was like, "Whoa,"
00:16:22.84\00:16:24.41
I wasn't expecting
him to look like this.
00:16:24.45\00:16:26.58
He says, 'cause
based upon the reports,
00:16:26.61\00:16:28.35
I thought he would look
way worse than how he looks.
00:16:28.38\00:16:31.62
So that was giving me some hope,
00:16:31.65\00:16:33.15
okay, yeah, God
is gonna heal him.
00:16:33.19\00:16:35.92
But one day, my husband
and I just started talking
00:16:35.96\00:16:39.93
and it was just
like it dawned on me,
00:16:39.96\00:16:41.30
you know, this whole
time, this five months,
00:16:41.33\00:16:43.30
I've been praying,
"God, heal, Brayden.
00:16:43.33\00:16:45.60
Thank You, for healing."
00:16:45.63\00:16:46.97
But I said, what if it's
not God's will to heal him.
00:16:47.00\00:16:49.97
You know, I really had not
00:16:50.01\00:16:51.44
processed that through my brain.
00:16:51.47\00:16:52.81
Yes.
00:16:52.84\00:16:54.18
And when I had
that thought I was like,
00:16:54.21\00:16:58.58
"Oh, my goodness.
00:16:58.61\00:17:00.78
We need to pray a
different prayer."
00:17:00.82\00:17:02.72
So my husband and
I got on our knees
00:17:02.75\00:17:04.25
right next to Brayden's side
00:17:04.29\00:17:05.89
and I prayed that what I
called the most crucial prayer
00:17:05.92\00:17:07.86
I have ever prayed in my life.
00:17:07.89\00:17:09.22
And the prayer was,
00:17:09.26\00:17:10.59
"Lord, if it's Your
will to heal Brayden,
00:17:10.63\00:17:13.76
please do it, if it's
Your will for Brayden to die,
00:17:13.80\00:17:17.47
we accept it.
00:17:17.50\00:17:19.13
But whatever Your will
is, Lord, please do it today
00:17:19.17\00:17:22.50
because I can't take
another minute of this."
00:17:22.54\00:17:25.17
And 15 minutes,
00:17:25.21\00:17:26.64
Brayden close his
eyes and went to sleep.
00:17:26.68\00:17:28.38
Wow.
00:17:28.41\00:17:29.74
I can only imagine how tough
it is to even pray that prayer
00:17:29.78\00:17:33.65
because as humans, I mean,
00:17:33.68\00:17:36.58
you want God's will
but when God's will is--
00:17:36.62\00:17:40.66
when you don't
understand God's will
00:17:40.69\00:17:42.86
and you want-- you
want your child to be saved
00:17:42.89\00:17:46.46
but if that's not God's will,
00:17:46.49\00:17:48.16
you prayed that His
will be done either way.
00:17:48.20\00:17:51.43
You just wanted
His will to be done
00:17:51.47\00:17:52.90
and for Brayden
not to suffer anymore.
00:17:52.93\00:17:54.27
Yes.
00:17:54.30\00:17:55.64
And that is, you are a
tremendous woman of faith.
00:17:55.67\00:17:59.01
I'm telling you, God
did some amazing things
00:17:59.04\00:18:01.44
because literally,
when I prayed that prayer,
00:18:01.48\00:18:03.98
I was in the right place.
00:18:04.01\00:18:07.02
I think in my four
or five weeks had passed
00:18:07.05\00:18:09.55
from then when the
doctors initially told us
00:18:09.58\00:18:11.12
he was gonna die.
00:18:11.15\00:18:12.49
And I honestly believe
that God held it out that long.
00:18:12.52\00:18:15.49
Because each doctor
that saw the reports,
00:18:15.52\00:18:17.33
they were like, oh, my good--
00:18:17.36\00:18:19.49
their response was
just shocking like...
00:18:19.53\00:18:22.46
One doctor looked at the reports
00:18:22.50\00:18:24.17
and he said, "It's horrific."
00:18:24.20\00:18:26.57
And I was just
thinking in my mind like,
00:18:26.60\00:18:28.04
wow, I mean, I don't
know what these reports say,
00:18:28.07\00:18:30.34
but they are
saying something terrible.
00:18:30.37\00:18:33.17
But it didn't sway me.
00:18:33.21\00:18:35.18
So five weeks
God let this thing go
00:18:35.21\00:18:37.91
and tell He knew my
heart was in right place
00:18:37.95\00:18:40.98
to truly accept His will.
00:18:41.02\00:18:42.52
Yes.
00:18:42.55\00:18:43.89
And I did. I did. We did.
00:18:43.92\00:18:45.82
Were you ever angry?
00:18:45.85\00:18:47.19
Were you or your
husband ever angry at God?
00:18:47.22\00:18:49.69
Yeah. What happened?
00:18:49.72\00:18:52.03
I can honestly say
and I'm telling you
00:18:52.06\00:18:55.36
from the deepest truth
00:18:55.40\00:18:56.87
that I can tell
you from my heart.
00:18:56.90\00:18:58.30
No.
00:18:58.33\00:18:59.67
People have asked me
that and I was like, "No."
00:18:59.70\00:19:01.44
Literally, no.
00:19:01.47\00:19:03.81
The thought of anger
never crossed my mind.
00:19:03.84\00:19:06.68
And I thought to
myself how could I be angry
00:19:06.71\00:19:08.58
with the God
that loves me so much
00:19:08.61\00:19:09.94
and knows what's best for me,
00:19:09.98\00:19:11.55
even if it means
putting my child to sleep.
00:19:11.58\00:19:14.85
I never, never had anger.
00:19:14.88\00:19:18.05
I never questioned
God. I honestly didn't.
00:19:18.09\00:19:21.06
He had gotten me to a
place where he let me know,
00:19:21.09\00:19:24.29
I mean, we prayed that
prayer, he went to sleep.
00:19:24.33\00:19:26.73
It might've been
less than 15 minutes,
00:19:26.76\00:19:28.10
you know, when you sitting there
00:19:28.13\00:19:29.46
it seems like an eternity.
00:19:29.50\00:19:30.83
Yes.
00:19:30.87\00:19:32.20
But I prayed that
prayer and God answered it.
00:19:32.23\00:19:33.94
And He put a peace on us
that we still can't describe.
00:19:33.97\00:19:37.24
I mean, "Peace that
passes all understanding."
00:19:37.27\00:19:39.74
God did it.
00:19:39.77\00:19:41.31
And so I trust Him,
00:19:41.34\00:19:42.68
I trust His decision making
00:19:42.71\00:19:44.48
and I just know that
for what ever reason,
00:19:44.51\00:19:46.51
when I get to heaven,
I'm gonna look and see him,
00:19:46.55\00:19:48.45
like "God, You were right."
00:19:48.48\00:19:49.82
What a wonderful day. Yeah.
00:19:49.85\00:19:51.55
That's gonna be a wonderful day.
00:19:51.59\00:19:53.46
So how did you and your family
cope after losing Brayden?
00:19:53.49\00:19:58.56
I mean, how do you
move forward from that?
00:19:58.59\00:20:01.40
My biggest concern was Savannah.
00:20:01.43\00:20:03.53
It was Savannah and my husband
00:20:03.57\00:20:04.90
because when the
whole thing started,
00:20:04.93\00:20:07.07
Van had said, "If something
happens to Brayden, I'm done."
00:20:07.10\00:20:09.97
You know, just, "I'm not
gonna be able to deal, God,
00:20:10.01\00:20:12.67
if something happens to him."
00:20:12.71\00:20:14.61
And something did happen.
00:20:14.64\00:20:16.41
And then beautiful thing is
that Van is strong in his faith
00:20:16.44\00:20:20.65
and he, well, the change that
00:20:20.68\00:20:24.42
I've seen in him
is amazing to me.
00:20:24.45\00:20:26.49
'Cause I knew that
he was gonna be done
00:20:26.52\00:20:27.99
but, no, he's trusting,
he's an encouragement to me
00:20:28.02\00:20:31.89
and he's fine.
00:20:31.93\00:20:33.26
I mean, you don't understand.
00:20:33.29\00:20:34.63
He's hurt, you know,
he cries as we all do
00:20:34.66\00:20:36.63
but he does not have
an issue with God per se.
00:20:36.67\00:20:40.10
He's at peace
with the situation.
00:20:40.14\00:20:41.67
Yes. And trusting.
00:20:41.70\00:20:43.10
And Savannah, she's
fine. I was so worried.
00:20:43.14\00:20:46.34
I was like, "Lord,
it's one thing for us
00:20:46.37\00:20:48.04
as adults to
have to deal with this
00:20:48.08\00:20:49.68
but how do you
handle a 4-year-old
00:20:49.71\00:20:52.41
who's lost her best friend."
00:20:52.45\00:20:54.12
Her whole that's all she's seen.
00:20:54.15\00:20:55.92
She followed him
around. That's her best buddy.
00:20:55.95\00:20:58.42
And she talks
about him all the time.
00:20:58.45\00:21:01.02
You know, the concept of death,
00:21:01.06\00:21:03.06
you know, I don't
think she really gets it.
00:21:03.09\00:21:04.76
She thinks we left
Brayden in California, you know.
00:21:04.79\00:21:07.50
Even though she
knows, yeah, he died.
00:21:07.53\00:21:09.10
He's still in
California, you know.
00:21:09.13\00:21:10.47
Yes.
00:21:10.50\00:21:11.83
We'll see him when we
get to heaven, you know.
00:21:11.87\00:21:13.20
Yes. But she's been okay.
00:21:13.23\00:21:15.84
She's been happy, you know,
00:21:15.87\00:21:17.21
these adjustments in the home
00:21:17.24\00:21:18.57
because now, you know,
we are family of three.
00:21:18.61\00:21:20.84
We were a family of
four with built in playmates,
00:21:20.88\00:21:25.31
you know, so now, you know,
00:21:25.35\00:21:26.68
as parents we have to really
play with Savannah little more
00:21:26.72\00:21:29.78
and kind of fill in the gap
00:21:29.82\00:21:32.59
or the void that's now occurred
because Brayden is not here.
00:21:32.62\00:21:36.76
And then it's tough. I
mean, because she is four?'
00:21:36.79\00:21:41.36
She's five now. She
was four when he passed.
00:21:41.40\00:21:44.27
She was four years old
00:21:44.30\00:21:45.90
and then trying
to explain to child
00:21:45.93\00:21:48.00
about sometimes God's will
isn't our will necessarily,
00:21:48.04\00:21:53.48
what we had envisioned.
00:21:53.51\00:21:55.54
And trying to get her
to grasp that concept...
00:21:55.58\00:21:58.88
It is tough. Yes.
00:21:58.91\00:22:00.48
Sometimes she'll say, you know,
00:22:00.52\00:22:03.02
"it's because Brayden
was so good that he died."
00:22:03.05\00:22:05.89
And I was like,
"No, you know, no."
00:22:05.92\00:22:09.42
So it's kind of hard
to explain those concepts.
00:22:09.46\00:22:11.79
But she would say that a lot.
00:22:11.83\00:22:13.16
"Brayden was good.
That's why he died."
00:22:13.19\00:22:15.43
It's like, "Oh,
no, baby, that..."
00:22:15.46\00:22:17.23
You know, we can't--
it's hard to explain.
00:22:17.27\00:22:19.63
I can't explain it.
00:22:19.67\00:22:21.04
I just tell, you
know, we just wait,
00:22:21.07\00:22:22.40
we're gonna see Brayden again.
00:22:22.44\00:22:23.77
Yes, and then
once she gets older,
00:22:23.81\00:22:25.37
as she gets older and is
able to grasp that concept.
00:22:25.41\00:22:27.94
It is easier
for her. Absolutely.
00:22:27.98\00:22:30.65
Now you are a
founder of a ministry.
00:22:30.68\00:22:34.05
Yes. Let's talk about that.
00:22:34.08\00:22:35.78
What's the
mission of your ministry?
00:22:35.82\00:22:38.55
What's the goal
of your ministry?
00:22:38.59\00:22:40.49
The goal of my
ministry is to encourage people.
00:22:40.52\00:22:43.59
As I've gone
through this process,
00:22:43.63\00:22:45.19
I realize how
many people out there,
00:22:45.23\00:22:48.50
there are so
many people out there
00:22:48.53\00:22:49.86
who are
experiencing difficult times,
00:22:49.90\00:22:51.70
who are wrestling
with trusting God,
00:22:51.73\00:22:53.87
especially after
experiencing death
00:22:53.90\00:22:56.00
or loss or divorce
or any other tragedy
00:22:56.04\00:22:58.37
that we experience here on earth
00:22:58.41\00:23:00.38
and so through my testimony
00:23:00.41\00:23:02.81
and through the things
that God has taught me,
00:23:02.84\00:23:05.58
I go out and I speak
00:23:05.61\00:23:06.95
and I try to
encourage people to know that,
00:23:06.98\00:23:09.85
you know, God is still good,
00:23:09.88\00:23:11.59
you know, don't let the devil
dupe you into thinking that
00:23:11.62\00:23:13.62
God is not good.
00:23:13.66\00:23:14.99
God is good.
00:23:15.02\00:23:16.36
The enemy is the
reason we have to suffer
00:23:16.39\00:23:18.06
and go through all these things.
00:23:18.09\00:23:19.79
But the beautiful thing about
it is God can use our pain,
00:23:19.83\00:23:23.06
our struggles, our trials
00:23:23.10\00:23:24.43
and turn into
something beautiful.
00:23:24.47\00:23:25.80
Absolutely.
00:23:25.83\00:23:27.17
And that's what He's
done in our situation.
00:23:27.20\00:23:28.74
And I'm determined in my heart,
00:23:28.77\00:23:30.71
you know, the
devil, because of him,
00:23:30.74\00:23:32.51
and his
foolishness my son is not here.
00:23:32.54\00:23:35.08
I'm not giving him
the rest of my life.
00:23:35.11\00:23:37.08
My son's not here
00:23:37.11\00:23:38.45
but I'm going to do my
best to tear down his kingdom
00:23:38.48\00:23:41.78
by encouraging others who have
gone through devastating loss.
00:23:41.82\00:23:45.75
So we all can
rejoice on the other side
00:23:45.79\00:23:47.59
when we get to heaven.
00:23:47.62\00:23:48.96
Wow. And not forfeit that.
00:23:48.99\00:23:50.89
That's amazing.
00:23:50.93\00:23:52.26
And I can tell, I
feel your passion.
00:23:52.29\00:23:53.86
I feel because it comes
from a place that really,
00:23:53.90\00:23:56.87
you hold near and
dear to your heart.
00:23:56.90\00:23:58.37
Yeah.
00:23:58.40\00:23:59.73
What kind of miracles have
you witnessed in this ministry?
00:23:59.77\00:24:02.64
When you go and speak
to these broken people
00:24:02.67\00:24:05.24
who've been through tragedies,
00:24:05.27\00:24:06.61
who, some of them
might be blaming God,
00:24:06.64\00:24:08.81
you know, some of
them just don't understand,
00:24:08.84\00:24:11.45
how can God let this happen.
00:24:11.48\00:24:13.92
Yeah.
00:24:13.95\00:24:15.58
When I say I go to
speak in a lot of churches.
00:24:15.62\00:24:18.42
Okay.
00:24:18.45\00:24:19.79
Okay, so when
you look at church,
00:24:19.82\00:24:21.16
you know, a lot of
times you don't see,
00:24:21.19\00:24:22.52
it's not like
you're going to a shelter
00:24:22.56\00:24:23.89
where you know
everybody is broken.
00:24:23.93\00:24:25.29
You know, people
who look very nice,
00:24:25.33\00:24:27.10
you know, who have a
smiles on their faces
00:24:27.13\00:24:29.33
but afterwards they
come to me crying, you know.
00:24:29.36\00:24:33.37
"Thank you so much.
I needed to hear that.
00:24:33.40\00:24:35.47
I've been having
these issues with God
00:24:35.50\00:24:38.51
ever since my loved one passed
00:24:38.54\00:24:40.58
or I suffered a divorce
and I couldn't understand
00:24:40.61\00:24:43.18
why God allowed
this to happen to me.
00:24:43.21\00:24:44.65
But through your testimony
00:24:44.68\00:24:46.15
and through your
sharing I've been encouraged,
00:24:46.18\00:24:48.75
you know, to trust
God and get past this pain
00:24:48.78\00:24:51.49
and to still love Him."
00:24:51.52\00:24:53.76
Mothers, whose children are--
00:24:53.79\00:24:55.99
sons have been
imprisoned for years,
00:24:56.02\00:24:57.86
you know, brokenness.
00:24:57.89\00:24:59.23
Yes.
00:24:59.26\00:25:00.60
And finding hope, you
know, that God is still good
00:25:00.63\00:25:02.90
no matter what
your circumstance is
00:25:02.93\00:25:04.70
and it's amazing because
every single time without fail
00:25:04.73\00:25:09.37
and especially the times
when I don't feel like speaking.
00:25:09.40\00:25:12.27
That's when God
shows up the most.
00:25:12.31\00:25:13.78
And it's like,
"Wow, God," you know.
00:25:13.81\00:25:16.21
It's not that easiest,
you know, it's not like,
00:25:16.24\00:25:19.18
"Oh, yes, you know, I'm
glad that's happened to me."
00:25:19.21\00:25:21.18
No, not at all.
00:25:21.22\00:25:22.58
But there is so much joy
when you actually can go out
00:25:22.62\00:25:26.76
and you see how
lives are being touched.
00:25:26.79\00:25:29.16
How chains are being broken
00:25:29.19\00:25:30.59
and people are
reconnecting with God
00:25:30.63\00:25:33.03
and learning as I call
it, "to adjust their lenses,"
00:25:33.06\00:25:36.40
to see life
through the eyes of faith
00:25:36.43\00:25:38.13
and not to focus
on all the negative
00:25:38.17\00:25:40.44
that the devil
tries to put in your face.
00:25:40.47\00:25:42.30
But focus on what God is doing,
00:25:42.34\00:25:43.91
how He's working things
out and focus on heaven.
00:25:43.94\00:25:47.04
Yes. So it's been amazing.
00:25:47.08\00:25:48.88
I mean, it's been amazing.
00:25:48.91\00:25:50.35
And I can only imagine how
good you feel after you speak,
00:25:50.38\00:25:53.78
after you share your testimony
00:25:53.82\00:25:56.69
and how God has lead you
through those tough times.
00:25:56.72\00:26:00.32
And you touch
those people's heart.
00:26:00.36\00:26:02.36
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:02.39\00:26:03.73
And you see the transformation,
00:26:03.76\00:26:05.33
you see the Holy Spirit
working on in their lives.
00:26:05.36\00:26:08.33
I can only imagine the feeling.
00:26:08.36\00:26:11.30
So how do people
get in touch with you?
00:26:11.33\00:26:13.77
Oh, okay. I am...
00:26:13.80\00:26:15.34
You have a website, correct?
Yeah, I do have a website.
00:26:15.37\00:26:17.74
It's samonnawatts.com. Okay.
00:26:17.77\00:26:20.61
SaMonna is not the
easiest name to spell,
00:26:20.64\00:26:23.18
so hopefully you
guys will post it.
00:26:23.21\00:26:24.55
Spell it out for
us. SaMonna is samonna.
00:26:24.58\00:26:30.22
And it's
sammonawatts. So watts.com.
00:26:30.25\00:26:33.79
Okay, wonderful.
00:26:33.82\00:26:36.06
Well, I can tell that you
are a tremendous woman of faith
00:26:36.09\00:26:39.73
and I appreciate you being
so transparent with us today
00:26:39.76\00:26:42.86
and sharing your testimony.
00:26:42.90\00:26:45.83
I know that people
have to be touched by this
00:26:45.87\00:26:49.27
and no matter what
they are going through,
00:26:49.30\00:26:52.47
that God is still
with the victorious one.
00:26:52.51\00:26:55.81
That's right, that's right.
00:26:55.84\00:26:57.18
And you can have
victory through Him.
00:26:57.21\00:26:58.55
That's right.
00:26:58.58\00:26:59.91
And I'm just, I mean,
I'm-- I feel it in my heart,
00:26:59.95\00:27:04.69
you know, with Brayden,
from looking at the pictures,
00:27:04.72\00:27:07.89
I feel like I knew him.
00:27:07.92\00:27:09.26
Yeah, he's a little buddy.
00:27:09.29\00:27:10.63
Yeah, it's just
so much personality.
00:27:10.66\00:27:12.99
Yeah, definitely.
So much personality.
00:27:13.03\00:27:15.43
Revelation 21: 4 says,
00:27:15.46\00:27:18.00
"And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes
00:27:18.03\00:27:22.50
and there shall
be no more death,
00:27:22.54\00:27:24.71
neither sorrow, nor crying,
00:27:24.74\00:27:26.68
neither shall
there be any more pain.
00:27:26.71\00:27:29.44
For the former
things are passed away."
00:27:29.48\00:27:31.71
And what a great
day that would be
00:27:31.75\00:27:34.75
when we can be
reunited with our loved ones
00:27:34.78\00:27:37.22
that are sleeping in Jesus.
00:27:37.25\00:27:39.75
I want to thank you so
much for being with us today.
00:27:39.79\00:27:42.46
Thank you, Jason.
And it's such a pleasure.
00:27:42.49\00:27:45.06
It is the ability
to tolerate uncertainty
00:27:45.09\00:27:48.43
and put your trust in
God through any situation,
00:27:48.46\00:27:51.37
whether it be a blessing
or whether it be a tragedy.
00:27:51.40\00:27:54.44
So I encourage
each and everyone of you
00:27:54.47\00:27:56.20
to exercise that.
00:27:56.24\00:27:57.67
Well, that's the
end of our program
00:27:57.71\00:27:59.57
and remember, it just wouldn't
be the same without you.
00:27:59.61\00:28:03.18
