COT: YHC played one of his favorite songs “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive” by Georgia’s own Travis Tritt. It’s a reminder to YHC that there is much to be thankful and grateful for in this life, despite the struggles and hardships that inevitably come his way. YHC made specific mention of the recent setbacks with his middle child that kept him away from F3 for a month. YHC had difficulty seeing beyond his situation and the feeling of hopelessness and despair. The prayer of “Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back” coupled with Tritt’s reminder that it’s a great day to be alive (despite the struggles) reminds us that there is a great deal to be thankful for in this life. So, let’s be reminded that while struggles will come our way – it’s unavoidable! – we HIMs of F3 can continue to show up for one another in the gloom to become better men for our families and our communities. YHC is thankful and grateful for the opportunity to lead this beatdown, and to be among the HIMs of thesandlot. Great work, men!
