Stay tuned to meet a woman
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
who over came adversity
00:00:02.70\00:00:04.03
and discovered
her divine purpose.
00:00:04.07\00:00:05.93
My name is Jason Bradley
00:00:05.97\00:00:07.40
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:07.44\00:00:09.27
Hello, and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:32.33\00:00:34.20
My guest today is SaMonna Watts.
00:00:34.23\00:00:36.43
And she is the founder
of Extraordinary Living.
00:00:36.46\00:00:39.63
Welcome to
Urban Report, SaMonna.
00:00:39.67\00:00:41.40
Thank you. I'm
glad to be here, Jason.
00:00:41.44\00:00:43.47
It's pleasure to have to you.
00:00:43.54\00:00:44.91
It's always a wonderful thing
00:00:44.94\00:00:47.04
when you can walk
in our divine purpose.
00:00:47.11\00:00:49.88
Yes, it is.
00:00:49.91\00:00:51.25
God has a divine--
00:00:51.28\00:00:52.71
and I'm a firm believer of this.
00:00:52.75\00:00:54.08
God has a divine
purpose for each one of us.
00:00:54.15\00:00:57.12
How did you discover yours?
00:00:57.15\00:00:59.55
Well, I can say I
discovered mine through pain.
00:00:59.59\00:01:02.99
I was staying
home with my children
00:01:03.02\00:01:06.56
and I came to a point in my life
00:01:06.59\00:01:07.93
where I was just
really seeking God,
00:01:07.96\00:01:09.26
figure out what it was
that He created me to do.
00:01:09.30\00:01:13.60
I had a career, you
know, I went to school.
00:01:13.64\00:01:15.60
I was attorney and I
started my own business.
00:01:15.64\00:01:18.97
But that's not what I
was looking for, you know.
00:01:19.01\00:01:22.11
I was asking God, "What
did You create me to do?"
00:01:22.14\00:01:25.35
Not a career per se.
00:01:25.38\00:01:27.12
And through my
wrestling with God
00:01:27.18\00:01:28.88
and praying and
really, really seeking Him.
00:01:28.92\00:01:31.15
About it, He showed me
that He wanted me to speak.
00:01:31.19\00:01:34.56
And so I was excited about that
00:01:34.59\00:01:35.92
'cause I like
speaking and running my mouth.
00:01:35.96\00:01:39.03
Right, you know, so I was like,
00:01:39.06\00:01:40.86
"Okay, Lord, what
will I speak about?"
00:01:40.90\00:01:42.50
And I had ideas in my mind,
00:01:42.53\00:01:44.03
I said, "Oh, once my business
really gets off the ground
00:01:44.10\00:01:47.07
then I'll go out and I'll
speak and I'll be the success
00:01:47.10\00:01:49.50
and," But as I continued
to pray and seek God about it,
00:01:49.54\00:01:53.54
He showed me that He
wanted me to speak on faith.
00:01:53.61\00:01:57.75
And then
basically encouraging people
00:01:57.78\00:01:59.31
because, I discovered
that my spiritual gifts
00:01:59.35\00:02:02.08
were faith,
exhortation and leadership.
00:02:02.12\00:02:05.39
So based upon that it
kind of gave me some guidance
00:02:05.42\00:02:07.89
as to where I
believe God wanted me to go.
00:02:07.92\00:02:11.09
So I was excited about that.
00:02:11.13\00:02:12.93
I didn't know how
that was gonna unfold
00:02:12.96\00:02:14.56
or when this divine purpose
was gonna be manifest for me
00:02:14.56\00:02:19.63
but a few short months
later my 5-year-old son
00:02:19.67\00:02:23.87
began to complain of headaches.
00:02:23.91\00:02:26.54
And then that's when the purpose
00:02:26.57\00:02:28.38
became very, very clear.
00:02:28.41\00:02:30.81
Now I want to interject.
00:02:30.85\00:02:33.38
Before we
expound on that purpose,
00:02:33.42\00:02:36.22
before we visit that purpose,
00:02:36.25\00:02:38.42
I want to let our
viewers see the family pictures.
00:02:38.45\00:02:42.56
I want them to see, Brayden
and who we are talking about.
00:02:42.59\00:02:45.86
Yeah.
00:02:45.89\00:02:47.23
So introduce your
family to our viewers.
00:02:47.30\00:02:50.60
Oh, yes.
00:02:50.63\00:02:51.97
This is little Savanna is who
I'm holding that's my daughter
00:02:52.00\00:02:55.47
and that's my husband Van
and that's our son Brayden,
00:02:55.50\00:02:58.77
who was five at the time.
00:02:58.81\00:03:01.78
Lots of personality,
lot's of personality.
00:03:01.81\00:03:04.78
He's a joy. He
looks like an amazing kid.
00:03:04.81\00:03:06.72
Great energy and
very handsome I might say.
00:03:06.75\00:03:13.36
Now-- and that's
him and his sister.
00:03:13.39\00:03:15.29
Yes, sister Savannah.
They are 13 months apart.
00:03:15.32\00:03:18.23
Okay. So that was
his little sister.
00:03:18.26\00:03:20.80
Oh. Best buddies.
00:03:20.83\00:03:22.46
Precious.
00:03:22.50\00:03:24.77
So he was telling
you he was starting
00:03:24.80\00:03:27.40
to have headaches
and what happened.
00:03:27.44\00:03:31.04
What transpired after that?
00:03:31.07\00:03:32.54
Well, he told
me he had headaches
00:03:32.57\00:03:33.94
and so you know, as a
parent we're concerned.
00:03:33.98\00:03:36.18
And I took him to the doctor.
00:03:36.21\00:03:38.08
I took him to
the doctor on Monday.
00:03:38.11\00:03:39.45
He complained on Sunday.
00:03:39.48\00:03:41.32
The doctor
couldn't find anything.
00:03:41.35\00:03:42.72
So he sent me home.
00:03:42.75\00:03:44.32
I took him back to the
doctor again on Tuesday
00:03:44.35\00:03:46.72
'cause the complains continued
00:03:46.76\00:03:48.09
and so he sent me
for some further testing
00:03:48.12\00:03:50.23
and on Wednesday he told
me that CAT scan was clear.
00:03:50.29\00:03:52.93
Nothing to worry about,
mom, it's probably migraines.
00:03:52.96\00:03:55.76
But something wasn't right.
00:03:55.80\00:03:57.53
And Thursday evening we found
ourselves in emergency room
00:03:57.57\00:04:00.67
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\00:04:07.88
Oh, no.
00:04:07.91\00:04:09.24
And so at this point, you
know, that is devastating,
00:04:09.28\00:04:12.51
you know, I-- it
was devastating news
00:04:12.55\00:04:15.05
and I remembered just
kind of staring at him
00:04:15.08\00:04:18.22
with this blank stare
00:04:18.25\00:04:19.59
and my husband asked them
00:04:19.62\00:04:21.39
and he said, "Don't
try to sugar coat anything.
00:04:21.42\00:04:23.46
Tells us what
are we dealing with."
00:04:23.53\00:04:26.43
And he said it's
probably very serious.
00:04:26.46\00:04:29.36
And when I was sitting
there listening to the doctor,
00:04:29.40\00:04:31.57
he said something that
will always remain in my heart.
00:04:31.60\00:04:35.74
He looked at us and he said,
00:04:35.77\00:04:37.47
"I see the Spirit of
God all over you guys."
00:04:37.51\00:04:40.34
And for me it was as if God
was giving us encouragement,
00:04:40.38\00:04:43.55
letting us know, "I am with you
00:04:43.61\00:04:46.18
even though you're receiving
this devastating news."
00:04:46.21\00:04:48.32
Yes.
00:04:48.35\00:04:49.68
So from there I
just-- I left the room.
00:04:49.72\00:04:51.42
I was in a daze and a nurse
saw me walking down the hallway
00:04:51.45\00:04:56.06
and she immediately grabbed
me and took me to her office
00:04:56.09\00:04:58.56
and said, "Hey,
you can stay in here
00:04:58.59\00:04:59.96
and get yourself together."
00:05:00.06\00:05:01.43
And when I was in this office,
I literally fell to the ground
00:05:01.46\00:05:04.83
and I just cried out to God.
00:05:04.87\00:05:06.53
I literally
just cried out to God
00:05:06.57\00:05:08.07
and I said, "God,
I can't handle this."
00:05:08.10\00:05:11.97
And it was like light
bolts are going off my mind.
00:05:12.01\00:05:15.71
So I started thinking about
how God works and I was like,
00:05:15.74\00:05:18.05
"Oh, no, He wants to speak,"
00:05:18.08\00:05:20.62
and generally,
people that God really uses
00:05:20.65\00:05:24.39
have gone through the ringer.
00:05:24.42\00:05:26.49
They've gone through
some of the serious things.
00:05:26.52\00:05:28.46
Those trials and tribulations,
00:05:28.49\00:05:30.23
we don't
understand their purpose
00:05:30.26\00:05:32.33
but we serve a God that knows
the end from the beginning.
00:05:32.36\00:05:35.00
Yes, we do. We do.
00:05:35.03\00:05:36.36
So continue
unpacking that for us.
00:05:36.40\00:05:38.27
Yeah, so in my mind I was lie
whoa, you know, this is what,
00:05:38.30\00:05:42.80
it was like just
flash in my head,
00:05:42.84\00:05:44.37
this is what God wants me to do.
00:05:44.41\00:05:45.74
He wants me to speak and I
have to go through this trial
00:05:45.77\00:05:48.58
to be able to do His will.
00:05:48.61\00:05:51.21
And I said I didn't want it.
00:05:51.25\00:05:52.58
I told Him, I said, "No,
God, I won't speak for you
00:05:52.61\00:05:54.65
if I have to go through
this because I want my child."
00:05:54.68\00:05:57.15
This is the child we struggled
to have, we prayed and prayed
00:05:57.19\00:05:59.85
and prayed and prayed and
asked God to bless us with him
00:05:59.89\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\00:06:07.60
"So, Lord, no, not this child."
00:06:07.66\00:06:11.10
But as I lay there on the floor,
00:06:11.13\00:06:12.53
something amazing happened
00:06:12.57\00:06:14.24
and I literally heard God
speak to me and through my tears
00:06:14.27\00:06:18.77
and my crying out, He said,
00:06:18.81\00:06:20.51
"SaMonna, what makes you think
00:06:20.58\00:06:22.51
I won't bring you
through this trial victorious?"
00:06:22.54\00:06:25.11
And I was done, I was
like, "Whoa, Lord," you know.
00:06:25.15\00:06:28.72
I didn't know what
victory was gonna look like
00:06:28.75\00:06:31.62
because He didn't say
I'm gonna heal Brayden.
00:06:31.65\00:06:33.86
That was my prayer.
00:06:33.89\00:06:35.56
He didn't say He was
gonna put Brayden to sleep.
00:06:35.59\00:06:37.63
But He guaranteed me victory.
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.89
And that's what
gave me the strength
00:06:39.93\00:06:41.86
to move on in our journey.
00:06:41.90\00:06:44.30
Wow. Yeah.
00:06:44.33\00:06:45.67
So how do you feel that
He prepared you this trial
00:06:45.70\00:06:48.80
or did He prepare
you for this trial?
00:06:48.84\00:06:50.71
I mean, you can never,
00:06:50.77\00:06:52.11
you can never be fully
prepared to lose the child.
00:06:52.14\00:06:55.11
Then looking at
those pictures of Brayden,
00:06:55.14\00:06:57.11
I mean, he looks like he had
an award-winning personality.
00:06:57.15\00:07:00.75
Yeah, he was great.
00:07:00.78\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.
00:07:10.96\00:07:14.63
But in essence
He had prepared me
00:07:14.66\00:07:17.10
because I had experienced
other trials in my life,
00:07:17.17\00:07:19.10
you know, looking
back there, not that big
00:07:19.13\00:07:21.67
but when I was
going through them,
00:07:21.70\00:07:23.54
they were big and
struggling financially
00:07:23.61\00:07:26.81
when I made the decision
to stay home with my children
00:07:26.88\00:07:29.91
which I believe
God told me to do.
00:07:29.94\00:07:31.88
So you know, I had that struggle
00:07:31.91\00:07:33.92
and when I left undergrad
00:07:33.95\00:07:36.58
I thought I was
supposed to be a doctor.
00:07:36.62\00:07:37.95
So I went to medical school
and God just shook all that up.
00:07:37.99\00:07:44.23
How far did you
get in medical school?
00:07:44.26\00:07:45.66
I went through the first half.
00:07:45.69\00:07:48.23
Okay. All the book work.
00:07:48.26\00:07:50.23
So I didn't pass my boards,
00:07:50.27\00:07:52.23
the board that separates
you from going on to clinicals.
00:07:52.27\00:07:55.24
Wow.
00:07:55.27\00:07:56.60
So that's where I was
and for me, being a go-getter
00:07:56.67\00:08:00.44
and always doing well in school,
00:08:00.51\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\00:08:17.36
And all that money.
Yes, and all that money.
00:08:17.39\00:08:20.33
The school is not
cheap. No it's not.
00:08:20.36\00:08:22.46
By any means. It's not.
00:08:22.50\00:08:24.90
So after you doing all
that and then finding out
00:08:24.93\00:08:28.07
"This is not what I
have for you, SaMonna,"
00:08:28.10\00:08:31.37
what was going
through your mind at the time?
00:08:31.41\00:08:33.14
Yeah, you know, and God is
good because He sent the answers
00:08:33.17\00:08:38.88
and He sent the
solutions to me quickly
00:08:38.91\00:08:40.92
because in a year I was in
law school on a full scholarship
00:08:40.95\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\00:08:47.56
The struggle that I was
having there, God was like,
00:08:47.59\00:08:49.76
"That's not where I
want you to be, here."
00:08:49.79\00:08:52.33
And everything went smoothly.
00:08:52.36\00:08:53.70
So it was like, "well, God
I can't believe you did that."
00:08:53.73\00:08:56.13
And so that part of my
life, you know, it was fine.
00:08:56.16\00:09:00.37
And then we come
to the next stage
00:09:00.40\00:09:04.04
of trials and difficulties.
00:09:04.07\00:09:07.01
But without a
shadow of a doubt, the--
00:09:07.04\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,
00:09:14.25\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\00:09:23.46
Wow. That would compare to that.
00:09:23.49\00:09:25.69
And so we-- when
we left the hospital
00:09:25.73\00:09:31.03
from that Thursday night,
00:09:31.07\00:09:32.93
actually we didn't leave,
they told us you cannot leave.
00:09:32.97\00:09:35.80
We have to transport you.
00:09:35.84\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\00:09:41.04
And we went to
Children's National
00:09:41.08\00:09:43.11
and it was like bad news
after bad news after bad news.
00:09:43.14\00:09:45.98
Every time we
talk to the doctors,
00:09:46.01\00:09:47.78
it seemed it got worst.
00:09:47.82\00:09:49.52
When we got there they told
us, "Oh, yeah, this is serious.
00:09:49.55\00:09:52.35
He has to have a brain surgery."
00:09:52.39\00:09:54.16
So Thursday they tell us this,
00:09:54.19\00:09:56.36
Monday he scheduled
to have brain surgery.
00:09:56.39\00:09:59.16
And this is a
lot for a 5-year-old.
00:09:59.19\00:10:01.00
Somebody, you know, he
didn't know what's gonna happen
00:10:01.03\00:10:02.96
but needles, being
confined to a hospital bed,
00:10:03.00\00:10:05.70
you can't eat, it
was trying for him.
00:10:05.73\00:10:08.54
Scary thing as kid,
I mean, you're in pain,
00:10:08.57\00:10:11.34
you're confused,
you see the worry,
00:10:11.37\00:10:13.17
I mean, I know, as parents
you try and hide the stress
00:10:13.21\00:10:17.05
and the worry from the
kids but I mean, you can't.
00:10:17.11\00:10:19.58
That's such a devastating news.
You can't really discuss that.
00:10:19.61\00:10:23.49
So you sitting there
confused and just terrified.
00:10:23.55\00:10:27.52
So and that's challenging
to see him go through that.
00:10:27.56\00:10:30.29
Yes. Go through that.
00:10:30.33\00:10:31.79
But he had his brain surgery
and the surgery went well
00:10:31.83\00:10:36.36
and I remember sitting there
praying while we were waiting
00:10:36.40\00:10:38.50
because that was torturous
to wait for five six hours for,
00:10:38.53\00:10:43.64
you know, "what's going
on, did they make a mistake,
00:10:43.67\00:10:45.37
you know, did
something go wrong, is he okay?"
00:10:45.41\00:10:47.94
But I was praying I was
like, "God, can this be it.
00:10:47.98\00:10:50.38
Can it just be a
cyst and they come out
00:10:50.41\00:10:52.61
and say we got it
all, everything is fine."
00:10:52.65\00:10:54.95
But in my spirit,
it's like the Lord said,
00:10:54.98\00:10:57.92
"SaMonna, testimony
is not great enough."
00:10:57.95\00:11:00.36
And low and behold,
when the doctor came out,
00:11:00.39\00:11:04.06
he said "Surgery went well.
00:11:04.13\00:11:05.89
We were able to
resect the tumor.
00:11:05.93\00:11:08.26
But there's
more concerning news.
00:11:08.30\00:11:09.63
This definitely is cancer.
00:11:09.66\00:11:11.37
Wow. So...
00:11:11.40\00:11:13.50
How did Brayden
cope with this sickness?
00:11:13.54\00:11:16.30
Oh, he, poor thing.
00:11:16.34\00:11:18.97
He's very, very smart.
00:11:19.01\00:11:20.44
Very, very, very,
very, very intelligent child.
00:11:20.48\00:11:23.31
So when doctors were coming
00:11:23.35\00:11:26.18
and the idea of even putting
him to sleep so he could--
00:11:26.21\00:11:29.22
he didn't like it.
00:11:29.25\00:11:30.59
So it was always a struggle.
00:11:30.65\00:11:32.85
When you see the
nurses coming he's like, "No,"
00:11:32.89\00:11:34.69
you know, he would
just basically cry out
00:11:34.72\00:11:38.03
because mentally he knew
00:11:38.06\00:11:39.63
there was no tricks that
were gonna work with him.
00:11:39.66\00:11:41.40
You know, they had
Child life come in,
00:11:41.43\00:11:43.16
they would try to
distract him but he was--
00:11:43.20\00:11:45.43
he didn't care
about teddy bears,
00:11:45.47\00:11:46.80
he cared about
00:11:46.87\00:11:48.20
what you are about to
stick into his arms, you know.
00:11:48.24\00:11:49.57
Absolutely. So it was very hard.
00:11:49.60\00:11:52.71
And many times I had
to literally hold him down
00:11:52.74\00:11:56.14
in like a bear hug for them
to do stuff with him and that,
00:11:56.18\00:12:00.95
it just wears down on
you as a parent to have to go
00:12:00.98\00:12:03.99
through that and
to be the bad guy,
00:12:04.02\00:12:06.62
you know, so he
can get his treatment.
00:12:06.65\00:12:08.29
And how long was he
in the hospital for?
00:12:08.32\00:12:11.46
He was in the
hospital for two weeks
00:12:11.49\00:12:15.80
and then we were
transferred to Philadelphia
00:12:15.83\00:12:19.53
for radiation treatment.
00:12:19.57\00:12:22.24
And when we were
there, it was a--
00:12:22.27\00:12:24.34
we stayed in a Ronald McDonald
house which was very nice.
00:12:24.37\00:12:29.28
But everyday we'd
had to the hospital,
00:12:29.31\00:12:31.71
every single day.
00:12:31.75\00:12:33.08
And when we get
up in the morning,
00:12:33.11\00:12:35.02
he would start crying.
00:12:35.05\00:12:36.75
He would just start crying.
00:12:36.79\00:12:38.12
I know I have to go
to the hospital mommy
00:12:38.15\00:12:39.49
I don't want to go.
00:12:39.52\00:12:40.86
Just crying so every
morning it's a struggle like,
00:12:40.89\00:12:43.69
Lord, please and
it just wears you out.
00:12:43.73\00:12:47.76
Yes.
00:12:47.83\00:12:49.13
And they had to put him
to sleep everyday, you know,
00:12:49.16\00:12:50.50
'cause they are kids
so he wouldn't move or,
00:12:50.53\00:12:53.90
you know, mess up the treatment
00:12:53.97\00:12:55.64
and the idea of that they had
to put in the mask on his face
00:12:55.67\00:12:57.84
so that he could go to sleep,
00:12:57.87\00:12:59.21
he was screaming, "I
don't want to go to sleep,
00:12:59.24\00:13:00.68
I don't want
them to put me sleep.
00:13:00.71\00:13:02.14
I know what
they're doing, mommy."
00:13:02.18\00:13:04.25
It was torture.
It was torture. Yes.
00:13:04.28\00:13:08.85
But the God, the God brought
us through those tough times.
00:13:08.88\00:13:11.92
He really, really did. Wow.
00:13:11.95\00:13:13.29
And then I mean, he's got--
00:13:13.36\00:13:15.39
anytime you are in the hospital
00:13:15.42\00:13:16.76
and you have to stay there
for an extended period of time,
00:13:16.83\00:13:19.66
they are
sticking you with needles,
00:13:19.69\00:13:21.00
you got people
coming to wake you up,
00:13:21.03\00:13:22.73
take your blood, and man, it's,
00:13:22.76\00:13:25.40
you don't get
rest in the hospital.
00:13:25.43\00:13:27.20
No. You don't. It's
not a place to get rest.
00:13:27.24\00:13:28.57
It's not fun,
especially, not for a kid.
00:13:28.60\00:13:30.81
Yes, absolutely and
then seeing that mask
00:13:30.87\00:13:33.17
and knowing the result
of what was about to happen.
00:13:33.21\00:13:37.21
But as the parent
I can say that I was,
00:13:37.25\00:13:39.41
I was so impressed with him.
00:13:39.45\00:13:40.78
His bravery, you know, that
he was actually trying to cope
00:13:40.82\00:13:43.65
'cause I don't
like getting shots.
00:13:43.69\00:13:46.05
But you know, he had resolved
in his mind that he was gonna
00:13:46.09\00:13:49.26
be a big boy and he
was gonna do it and he did.
00:13:49.29\00:13:52.06
Absolutely. He did, he did.
00:13:52.09\00:13:53.46
That's amazing.
00:13:53.50\00:13:54.83
I mean, at 5-years-old,
00:13:54.83\00:13:56.16
it sounds like
he was pretty tough.
00:13:56.20\00:13:57.53
Yeah.
00:13:57.57\00:13:58.90
Now at what
point did you realize
00:13:58.93\00:14:00.34
that he might not make it?
00:14:00.37\00:14:02.90
Well, after we left,
00:14:02.94\00:14:04.31
we finished the radiation
treatment in Philadelphia.
00:14:04.34\00:14:06.44
We traveled back to
Maryland to start chemo.
00:14:06.47\00:14:10.15
And we met with the doctors.
00:14:10.18\00:14:12.01
They did their
preliminary testing
00:14:12.05\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\00:14:21.69
Brian's not gonna make it.
00:14:21.72\00:14:24.53
And that was traumatizing.
00:14:24.56\00:14:27.03
You know, I was so
worried about the chemo therapy,
00:14:27.10\00:14:30.53
it had never cross my
mind that he might die.
00:14:30.57\00:14:33.80
Not at this stage of the
game. And so I was heart broken.
00:14:33.84\00:14:38.87
But I resolved my mind that
00:14:38.91\00:14:41.34
this is what the
doctors have said
00:14:41.38\00:14:44.41
God hasn't told me
if Brayden is gonna live
00:14:44.45\00:14:45.78
or if he's gonna
die so at that point
00:14:45.81\00:14:47.32
we were still gonna fight.
00:14:47.38\00:14:48.72
You know, they suggested that
I go home and contact Hospice.
00:14:48.75\00:14:51.55
But I just couldn't do that.
00:14:51.59\00:14:53.52
So my husband and I, we prayed
00:14:53.56\00:14:55.96
and my in-laws had
found a doctor in Mexico,
00:14:55.99\00:15:02.76
who said he would do his best.
00:15:02.80\00:15:05.13
He practiced
alternative medicine.
00:15:05.17\00:15:06.50
So we flew out to
Mexico to give it one last shot
00:15:06.53\00:15:11.14
to see if Brayden, you
know, would make it through.
00:15:11.17\00:15:13.07
And I honestly did not
think that he would die.
00:15:13.11\00:15:16.48
I believed whole heartedly
00:15:16.51\00:15:17.88
that God was
going to heal my son.
00:15:17.91\00:15:19.75
He had opened the doors.
00:15:19.78\00:15:21.25
The treatment in
Mexico was $50,000.
00:15:21.28\00:15:23.79
Friday they told
us he was gonna die.
00:15:23.82\00:15:26.32
I put a post on Facebook.
00:15:26.35\00:15:28.06
On Monday, we
had $50,000 dollars.
00:15:28.09\00:15:30.23
Wow.
00:15:30.26\00:15:31.59
With people
donating from social media
00:15:31.63\00:15:34.30
to get us to Mexico and
it was just such a blessing,
00:15:34.30\00:15:37.53
I said, "God," you
know, "Thank You, thank You."
00:15:37.57\00:15:40.00
God knows that we need.
00:15:40.04\00:15:41.37
You know, when we need
it, for whatever reason.
00:15:41.40\00:15:44.07
So I literally did not
think my son was gonna die.
00:15:44.11\00:15:49.18
After we finished
the treatment at Mexico,
00:15:49.21\00:15:51.41
things happened there that
are really they are too terrible
00:15:51.45\00:15:54.95
to even kind of
repeat in my head
00:15:54.98\00:15:57.25
but he wasn't doing well.
00:15:57.29\00:16:00.09
So we traveled to California
00:16:00.12\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.
00:16:07.86\00:16:10.67
I just figured it was slow burn.
00:16:10.70\00:16:12.03
God was just taking this thing,
00:16:12.07\00:16:13.44
you know, it was slow process,
00:16:13.47\00:16:15.04
natural healing takes a while.
00:16:15.07\00:16:17.14
But one day and actually
I want to say this first,
00:16:17.21\00:16:20.11
when Hospice doctors would come,
00:16:20.18\00:16:22.78
he was like, "Whoa,"
00:16:22.81\00:16:24.38
I wasn't expecting
him to look like this.
00:16:24.41\00:16:26.55
He says, 'cause
based upon the reports,
00:16:26.58\00:16:28.32
I thought he would look
way worse than how he looks.
00:16:28.35\00:16:31.59
So that was giving me some hope,
00:16:31.62\00:16:33.12
okay, yeah, God
is gonna heal him.
00:16:33.15\00:16:35.89
But one day, my husband
and I just started talking
00:16:35.92\00:16:39.89
and it was just
like it dawned on me,
00:16:39.93\00:16:41.23
you know, this whole
time, this five months,
00:16:41.26\00:16:43.23
I've been praying,
"God, heal, Brayden.
00:16:43.26\00:16:45.53
Thank You, for healing."
00:16:45.57\00:16:46.90
But I said, what if it's
not God's will to heal him.
00:16:46.94\00:16:49.90
You know, I really had not
00:16:49.97\00:16:51.37
processed that through my brain.
00:16:51.41\00:16:52.74
Yes.
00:16:52.77\00:16:54.14
And when I had
that thought I was like,
00:16:54.18\00:16:58.51
"Oh, my goodness.
00:16:58.55\00:17:00.78
We need to pray a
different prayer."
00:17:00.85\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
00:17:04.32\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,
00:17:10.66\00:17:13.76
please do it, if it's
Your will for Brayden to die,
00:17:13.83\00:17:17.47
we accept it.
00:17:17.50\00:17:19.10
But whatever Your will
is, Lord, please do it today
00:17:19.13\00:17:22.47
because I can't take
another minute of this."
00:17:22.50\00:17:25.14
And 15 minutes,
00:17:25.17\00:17:26.61
Brayden close his
eyes and went to sleep.
00:17:26.68\00:17:28.34
Wow.
00:17:28.38\00:17:29.71
I can only imagine how tough
it is to even pray that prayer
00:17:29.74\00:17:33.62
because as humans, I mean,
00:17:33.65\00:17:36.55
you want God's will
but when God's will is--
00:17:36.58\00:17:40.66
when you don't
understand God's will
00:17:40.69\00:17:42.82
and you want-- you
want your child to be saved
00:17:42.86\00:17:46.43
but if that's not God's will,
00:17:46.46\00:17:48.10
you prayed that His
will be done either way.
00:17:48.13\00:17:51.37
You just wanted
His will to be done
00:17:51.40\00:17:52.83
and for Brayden
not to suffer anymore.
00:17:52.87\00:17:54.20
Yes.
00:17:54.24\00:17:55.57
And that is, you are a
tremendous woman of faith.
00:17:55.60\00:17:58.94
I'm telling you, God
did some amazing things
00:17:58.97\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\00:18:07.05
I think in my four
or five weeks had passed
00:18:07.08\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\00:18:17.36
they were like, oh, my good--
00:18:17.39\00:18:19.49
their response was
just shocking like...
00:18:19.53\00:18:22.43
One doctor looked at the reports
00:18:22.46\00:18:24.17
and he said, "It's horrific."
00:18:24.20\00:18:26.53
And I was just
thinking in my mind like,
00:18:26.57\00:18:28.00
wow, I mean, I don't
know what these reports say,
00:18:28.04\00:18:30.31
but they are
saying something terrible.
00:18:30.34\00:18:33.14
But it didn't sway me.
00:18:33.17\00:18:35.14
So five weeks
God let this thing go
00:18:35.18\00:18:37.88
and tell He knew my
heart was in right place
00:18:37.91\00:18:40.95
to truly accept His will.
00:18:40.98\00:18:42.48
Yes.
00:18:42.52\00:18:43.89
And I did. I did. We did.
00:18:43.92\00:18:45.79
Were you ever angry?
00:18:45.82\00:18:47.16
Were you or your
husband ever angry at God?
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.66
Yeah. What happened?
00:18:49.69\00:18:51.99
I can honestly say
and I'm telling you
00:18:52.03\00:18:55.30
from the deepest truth
00:18:55.33\00:18:56.83
that I can tell
you from my heart.
00:18:56.87\00:18:58.23
No.
00:18:58.27\00:18:59.60
People have asked me
that and I was like, "No."
00:18:59.63\00:19:01.44
Literally, no.
00:19:01.47\00:19:03.84
The thought of anger
never crossed my mind.
00:19:03.87\00:19:06.71
And I thought to
myself how could I be angry
00:19:06.74\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.
00:19:24.36\00:19:26.73
It might've been
less than 15 minutes,
00:19:26.76\00:19:28.06
you know, when you sitting there
00:19:28.10\00:19:29.43
it seems like an eternity.
00:19:29.46\00:19:30.80
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\00:19:37.21
I mean, "Peace that
passes all understanding."
00:19:37.24\00:19:39.71
God did it.
00:19:39.74\00:19:41.28
And so I trust Him,
00:19:41.31\00:19:42.64
I trust His decision making
00:19:42.68\00:19:44.45
and I just know that
for what ever reason,
00:19:44.48\00:19:46.48
when I get to heaven,
I'm gonna look and see him,
00:19:46.51\00:19:48.42
like "God, You were right."
00:19:48.45\00:19:49.78
What a wonderful day. Yeah.
00:19:49.82\00:19:51.52
That's gonna be a wonderful day.
00:19:51.55\00:19:53.46
So how did you and your family
cope after losing Brayden?
00:19:53.49\00:19:58.53
I mean, how do you
move forward from that?
00:19:58.56\00:20:01.33
My biggest concern was Savannah.
00:20:01.36\00:20:03.47
It was Savannah and my husband
00:20:03.53\00:20:04.87
because when the
whole thing started,
00:20:04.90\00:20:07.00
Van had said, "If something
happens to Brayden, I'm done."
00:20:07.04\00:20:09.90
You know, just, "I'm not
gonna be able to deal, God,
00:20:09.97\00:20:12.61
if something happens to him."
00:20:12.64\00:20:14.54
And something did happen.
00:20:14.58\00:20:16.34
And then beautiful thing is
that Van is strong in his faith
00:20:16.38\00:20:20.58
and he, well, the change that
00:20:20.62\00:20:24.35
I've seen in him
is amazing to me.
00:20:24.39\00:20:26.42
'Cause I knew that
he was gonna be done
00:20:26.45\00:20:27.92
but, no, he's trusting,
he's an encouragement to me
00:20:27.96\00:20:31.83
and he's fine.
00:20:31.86\00:20:33.19
I mean, you don't understand.
00:20:33.23\00:20:34.56
He's hurt, you know,
he cries as we all do
00:20:34.56\00:20:36.53
but he does not have
an issue with God per se.
00:20:36.60\00:20:40.00
He's at peace
with the situation.
00:20:40.07\00:20:41.57
Yes. And trusting.
00:20:41.60\00:20:43.00
And Savannah, she's
fine. I was so worried.
00:20:43.04\00:20:46.24
I was like, "Lord,
it's one thing for us
00:20:46.27\00:20:47.94
as adults to
have to deal with this
00:20:47.98\00:20:49.58
but how do you
handle a 4-year-old
00:20:49.61\00:20:52.31
who's lost her best friend."
00:20:52.35\00:20:54.05
Her whole that's all she's seen.
00:20:54.08\00:20:55.82
She followed him
around. That's her best buddy.
00:20:55.85\00:20:58.32
And she talks
about him all the time.
00:20:58.35\00:21:00.99
You know, the concept of death,
00:21:01.02\00:21:03.02
you know, I don't
think she really gets it.
00:21:03.06\00:21:04.73
She thinks we left
Brayden in California, you know.
00:21:04.76\00:21:07.50
Even though she
knows, yeah, he died.
00:21:07.50\00:21:09.03
He's still in
California, you know.
00:21:09.06\00:21:10.43
Yes.
00:21:10.47\00:21:11.80
We'll see him when we
get to heaven, you know.
00:21:11.83\00:21:13.17
Yes. But she's been okay.
00:21:13.20\00:21:15.77
She's been happy, you know,
00:21:15.80\00:21:17.17
these adjustments in the home
00:21:17.21\00:21:18.54
because now, you know,
we are family of three.
00:21:18.57\00:21:20.78
We were a family of
four with built in playmates,
00:21:20.84\00:21:25.25
you know, so now, you know,
00:21:25.28\00:21:26.61
as parents we have to really
play with Savannah little more
00:21:26.68\00:21:29.72
and kind of fill in the gap
00:21:29.75\00:21:32.52
or the void that's now occurred
because Brayden is not here.
00:21:32.55\00:21:36.69
And then it's tough. I
mean, because she is four?'
00:21:36.73\00:21:41.26
She's five now. She
was four when he passed.
00:21:41.30\00:21:44.20
She was four years old
00:21:44.23\00:21:45.80
and then trying
to explain to child
00:21:45.83\00:21:47.90
about sometimes God's will
isn't our will necessarily,
00:21:47.94\00:21:53.41
what we had envisioned.
00:21:53.44\00:21:55.44
And trying to get her
to grasp that concept...
00:21:55.48\00:21:58.78
It is tough. Yes.
00:21:58.81\00:22:00.45
Sometimes she'll say, you know,
00:22:00.52\00:22:02.98
"it's because Brayden
was so good that he died."
00:22:03.02\00:22:05.85
And I was like,
"No, you know, no."
00:22:05.89\00:22:09.39
So it's kind of hard
to explain those concepts.
00:22:09.42\00:22:11.76
But she would say that a lot.
00:22:11.79\00:22:13.13
"Brayden was good.
That's why he died."
00:22:13.16\00:22:15.36
It's like, "Oh,
no, baby, that..."
00:22:15.40\00:22:17.17
You know, we can't--
it's hard to explain.
00:22:17.23\00:22:19.57
I can't explain it.
00:22:19.60\00:22:20.97
I just tell, you
know, we just wait,
00:22:21.00\00:22:22.34
we're gonna see Brayden again.
00:22:22.37\00:22:23.71
Yes, and then
once she gets older,
00:22:23.77\00:22:25.31
as she gets older and is
able to grasp that concept.
00:22:25.34\00:22:27.88
It is easier
for her. Absolutely.
00:22:27.91\00:22:30.61
Now you are a
founder of a ministry.
00:22:30.65\00:22:33.98
Yes. Let's talk about that.
00:22:34.02\00:22:35.72
What's the
mission of your ministry?
00:22:35.75\00:22:38.49
What's the goal
of your ministry?
00:22:38.52\00:22:40.42
The goal of my
ministry is to encourage people.
00:22:40.46\00:22:43.53
As I've gone
through this process,
00:22:43.59\00:22:45.13
I realize how
many people out there,
00:22:45.16\00:22:48.40
there are so
many people out there
00:22:48.43\00:22:49.76
who are
experiencing difficult times,
00:22:49.80\00:22:51.60
who are wrestling
with trusting God,
00:22:51.63\00:22:53.77
especially after
experiencing death
00:22:53.80\00:22:55.90
or loss or divorce
or any other tragedy
00:22:55.94\00:22:58.27
that we experience here on earth
00:22:58.31\00:23:00.38
and so through my testimony
00:23:00.41\00:23:02.78
and through the things
that God has taught me,
00:23:02.81\00:23:05.55
I go out and I speak
00:23:05.58\00:23:06.92
and I try to
encourage people to know that,
00:23:06.95\00:23:09.82
you know, God is still good,
00:23:09.85\00:23:11.55
you know, don't let the devil
dupe you into thinking that
00:23:11.59\00:23:13.59
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\00:23:18.03
and go through all these things.
00:23:18.06\00:23:19.76
But the beautiful thing about
it is God can use our pain,
00:23:19.79\00:23:23.00
our struggles, our trials
00:23:23.03\00:23:24.37
and turn into
something beautiful.
00:23:24.40\00:23:25.73
Absolutely.
00:23:25.77\00:23:27.10
And that's what He's
done in our situation.
00:23:27.14\00:23:28.67
And I'm determined in my heart,
00:23:28.70\00:23:30.67
you know, the
devil, because of him,
00:23:30.71\00:23:32.44
and his
foolishness my son is not here.
00:23:32.47\00:23:35.01
I'm not giving him
the rest of my life.
00:23:35.04\00:23:37.01
My son's not here
00:23:37.05\00:23:38.38
but I'm going to do my
best to tear down his kingdom
00:23:38.41\00:23:41.72
by encouraging others who have
gone through devastating loss.
00:23:41.75\00:23:45.69
So we all can
rejoice on the other side
00:23:45.72\00:23:47.52
when we get to heaven.
00:23:47.56\00:23:48.89
Wow. And not forfeit that.
00:23:48.92\00:23:50.83
That's amazing.
00:23:50.89\00:23:52.23
And I can tell, I
feel your passion.
00:23:52.26\00:23:53.80
I feel because it comes
from a place that really,
00:23:53.86\00:23:56.80
you hold near and
dear to your heart.
00:23:56.83\00:23:58.27
Yeah.
00:23:58.30\00:23:59.63
What kind of miracles have
you witnessed in this ministry?
00:23:59.67\00:24:02.60
When you go and speak
to these broken people
00:24:02.64\00:24:05.21
who've been through tragedies,
00:24:05.24\00:24:06.57
who, some of them
might be blaming God,
00:24:06.61\00:24:08.78
you know, some of
them just don't understand,
00:24:08.81\00:24:11.41
how can God let this happen.
00:24:11.45\00:24:13.92
Yeah.
00:24:13.95\00:24:15.55
When I say I go to
speak in a lot of churches.
00:24:15.58\00:24:18.39
Okay.
00:24:18.42\00:24:19.75
Okay, so when
you look at church,
00:24:19.79\00:24:21.12
you know, a lot of
times you don't see,
00:24:21.16\00:24:22.49
it's not like
you're going to a shelter
00:24:22.52\00:24:23.86
where you know
everybody is broken.
00:24:23.93\00:24:25.26
You know, people
who look very nice,
00:24:25.29\00:24:27.10
you know, who have a
smiles on their faces
00:24:27.13\00:24:29.26
but afterwards they
come to me crying, you know.
00:24:29.30\00:24:33.30
"Thank you so much.
I needed to hear that.
00:24:33.34\00:24:35.40
I've been having
these issues with God
00:24:35.44\00:24:38.44
ever since my loved one passed
00:24:38.47\00:24:40.54
or I suffered a divorce
and I couldn't understand
00:24:40.58\00:24:43.11
why God allowed
this to happen to me.
00:24:43.14\00:24:44.58
But through your testimony
00:24:44.61\00:24:46.08
and through your
sharing I've been encouraged,
00:24:46.11\00:24:48.68
you know, to trust
God and get past this pain
00:24:48.72\00:24:51.42
and to still love Him."
00:24:51.45\00:24:53.72
Mothers, whose children are--
00:24:53.76\00:24:55.92
sons have been
imprisoned for years,
00:24:55.96\00:24:57.79
you know, brokenness.
00:24:57.83\00:24:59.16
Yes.
00:24:59.19\00:25:00.63
And finding hope, you
know, that God is still good
00:25:00.66\00:25:02.86
no matter what
your circumstance is
00:25:02.90\00:25:04.67
and it's amazing because
every single time without fail
00:25:04.70\00:25:09.34
and especially the times
when I don't feel like speaking.
00:25:09.37\00:25:12.24
That's when God
shows up the most.
00:25:12.27\00:25:13.78
And it's like,
"Wow, God," you know.
00:25:13.81\00:25:16.18
It's not that easiest,
you know, it's not like,
00:25:16.21\00:25:19.15
"Oh, yes, you know, I'm
glad that's happened to me."
00:25:19.18\00:25:21.15
No, not at all.
00:25:21.18\00:25:22.55
But there is so much joy
when you actually can go out
00:25:22.58\00:25:26.76
and you see how
lives are being touched.
00:25:26.79\00:25:29.12
How chains are being broken
00:25:29.16\00:25:30.56
and people are
reconnecting with God
00:25:30.63\00:25:32.99
and learning as I call
it, "to adjust their lenses,"
00:25:33.03\00:25:36.33
to see life
through the eyes of faith
00:25:36.36\00:25:38.07
and not to focus
on all the negative
00:25:38.10\00:25:40.40
that the devil
tries to put in your face.
00:25:40.44\00:25:42.24
But focus on what God is doing,
00:25:42.27\00:25:43.87
how He's working things
out and focus on heaven.
00:25:43.91\00:25:46.98
Yes. So it's been amazing.
00:25:47.04\00:25:48.81
I mean, it's been amazing.
00:25:48.84\00:25:50.31
And I can only imagine how
good you feel after you speak,
00:25:50.35\00:25:53.72
after you share your testimony
00:25:53.78\00:25:56.65
and how God has lead you
through those tough times.
00:25:56.69\00:26:00.32
And you touch
those people's heart.
00:26:00.39\00:26:02.36
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:02.39\00:26:03.76
And you see the transformation,
00:26:03.79\00:26:05.33
you see the Holy Spirit
working on in their lives.
00:26:05.36\00:26:08.30
I can only imagine the feeling.
00:26:08.33\00:26:11.27
So how do people
get in touch with you?
00:26:11.30\00:26:13.74
Oh, okay. I am...
00:26:13.77\00:26:15.30
You have a website, correct?
Yeah, I do have a website.
00:26:15.34\00:26:17.71
It's samonnawatts.com. Okay.
00:26:17.74\00:26:20.58
SaMonna is not the
easiest name to spell,
00:26:20.61\00:26:23.14
so hopefully you
guys will post it.
00:26:23.18\00:26:24.51
Spell it out for
us. SaMonna is samonna.
00:26:24.55\00:26:30.19
And it's
sammonawatts. So watts.com.
00:26:30.22\00:26:33.76
Okay, wonderful.
00:26:33.79\00:26:36.02
Well, I can tell that you
are a tremendous woman of faith
00:26:36.06\00:26:39.69
and I appreciate you being
so transparent with us today
00:26:39.73\00:26:42.80
and sharing your testimony.
00:26:42.83\00:26:45.77
I know that people
have to be touched by this
00:26:45.80\00:26:49.20
and no matter what
they are going through,
00:26:49.24\00:26:52.41
that God is still
with the victorious one.
00:26:52.44\00:26:55.74
That's right, that's right.
00:26:55.78\00:26:57.11
And you can have
victory through Him.
00:26:57.15\00:26:58.48
That's right.
00:26:58.51\00:26:59.85
And I'm just, I mean,
I'm-- I feel it in my heart,
00:26:59.88\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\00:27:10.66
Yeah, it's just
so much personality.
00:27:10.69\00:27:12.99
Yeah, definitely.
So much personality.
00:27:13.03\00:27:15.40
Revelation 21: 4 says,
00:27:15.43\00:27:17.97
"And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes
00:27:18.00\00:27:22.47
and there shall
be no more death,
00:27:22.50\00:27:24.67
neither sorrow, nor crying,
00:27:24.71\00:27:26.68
neither shall
there be any more pain.
00:27:26.71\00:27:29.41
For the former
things are passed away."
00:27:29.44\00:27:31.68
And what a great
day that would be
00:27:31.71\00:27:34.72
when we can be
reunited with our loved ones
00:27:34.75\00:27:37.19
that are sleeping in Jesus.
00:27:37.22\00:27:39.72
I want to thank you so
much for being with us today.
00:27:39.75\00:27:42.42
Thank you, Jason.
And it's such a pleasure.
00:27:42.46\00:27:45.03
It is the ability
to tolerate uncertainty
00:27:45.06\00:27:48.36
and put your trust in
God through any situation,
00:27:48.40\00:27:51.30
whether it be a blessing
or whether it be a tragedy.
00:27:51.33\00:27:54.37
So I encourage
each and everyone of you
00:27:54.40\00:27:56.14
to exercise that.
00:27:56.17\00:27:57.61
Well, that's the
end of our program
00:27:57.64\00:27:59.51
and remember, it just wouldn't
be the same without you.
00:27:59.54\00:28:03.18
