I got thinking about this on the way here
this is my my baby girl right here, my twelve year old daughter
we just went to Cleveland today
and we took a computer to a little girl
whose in the hospital in Cleveland with leukemia from this area
we have a golf outing every year to help
pay the bills for my son & daughter's medical expenses. Chemo is over but there is still expenses
and people think when
its done its done. So we
went saw this little girl in the hospital today
pretty sad, kinda brings back some bad memories so on the way home I was kinda thinking about this
and I was wondering what kind of questions I'd get tonight
....
makes you think a little bit
(um) you know driving down the road
....
as I'm thinking, so we
being criticized saying we are money grabbers
we're jumping on the bandwagon. Alan explained
how long we've been we've been at this for
long, long time. A lot of hard work over here, a lot of tears
lots of crying, lots of seeing brothers
sisters, children, grankids, friends
when my son was diagnosed I can remember going to his school
(um) he wanted to stop and say goodbye to his friends. So we went into
his elementary school were Alexa went and
we went inside he said goodbye to his friends
and I'm standing in a room with a bunch of kids crying
they know what cancer can do. They knew they might not see their friend again
my son was going in there to say goodbye. Hoping that he was coming back
but he wanted to see them one last time. But he saw
what his sister went through...
you know we're talking about there's no proof it doesn't link it
I read article the other day it was a
....
the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence
that means a lot
(clapping) so...
(clapping) you guys see how big this gym is here
picture this gym back here
and seeing this picture go around, picture this
that girl laying in bed with tubes down her throat their children their grandchildren
I want you to close your eyes
picture that. Picture this little girl
...
...that would line up across this gym
picture that in your eyes...bench full of kids
...some of those
are empty now! there are children who aren't here anymore!
so your eyes are still closed right? Now open your eyes and
where are your kids are going to be in that bed? Are they gonna be in the bed that's
full or they gonna be in the bed that's empty? and that's what we wake up to everyday
and it's saddening
it pisses me off! I'm tired of it...
very disheartened we aren't money grabbers. I worked my job for twenty
nine years. My wife has worked her job twenty nine years at Whirlpool
still avoids there. We work hard, we give back, we're just looking for answers
we're not money grabbers but if somebody did this to my family did this to these families
families the only way we can make people stop doing that
is financially
....and that's what has to happen
and I would think if there's entity that did something wrong
they would want to know about it and they would want to make it right.
I just want you guys to think about that, there is probably enough beds to line
line up across that gym at least once
we have to keep on waiting until we have to fill the gym full?
I don't.
