00:00My dad had an addiction and I have lived that life where my dad was a fast talker and he
00:09could fast talk his way in and out of things and I like to say that he quit his addiction
00:18in the morning and by the evening time he quit quitting.
00:22But yet, what addicts do is oftentimes they'll try to lure you in and the moment they
00:29see a little opening that, oh, you're believing my story.
00:35That's it.
00:36Hooks are in and I just want to get on to the next.
00:38So I have lived that where you hear and you see Mark in the hospital.
00:45Can you believe these guys?
00:46It was so unfair.
00:47They're asking me who the president was and I was just coming through and I was unconscious.
00:52And then the second half to that is more, it hurts my heart, is that when my mom was
01:02diagnosed with lung cancer, she was diagnosed with stage 3B lung cancer and those stages,
01:09that's not good.
01:10You got to have those conversations with your family.
01:13And I remember her first day of treatment, she was laying on the hospital bed and I was
01:17kind of standing over her holding her hand.
01:20And then the doctor came in and the doctor, he didn't say, hey, you're going to be all
01:23right.
01:24He said, we're going to take good care of you.
01:26And I'll never forget it.
01:27She had the sheets and she pulled the sheets up over her face and she started like really
01:33crying.
01:34And I had never seen my mom cry like that because in the moment I looked down and I saw
01:41this little girl.
01:43And so in the moment, I felt like that's probably the last place that Mark Kerr wants
01:50to be as well.
01:51Just like it was the last place my mom wanted to be in that moment of vulnerability and you're
01:55looking up at people and you just want to cover your face.
01:58So that's where I went.
