“When my son Cruz was born premature we spent three months in NICU which is a scary place to be for family, especially new parents. He’s six now and is already the strongest person I know. They throw everything at him and he just smiles every day and takes everything. It’s crazy I find myself learning lessons from a six year old. Usually the dad teaches the kid the lessons but he teaches me what's life’s really all about.

Everybody has to deal with a lot of things in this life and you can't compare yourself. There's a good quote by Theodore Roosevelt ’comparison is the thief of joy’. If you compare yourself to somebody else, you’re robbing yourself of the joy you could have in life. I think It’s important to keep perspective and be appreciative of what you do have. You know your worst day could be someone else’s best.”
