Maddy, you have elevated your son Liam, and all the families you have helped. And you have elevated yourself. Liam's spirit shines like rays of sunlight, as does yours.

Its absolutely ridiculous that CBS only gives Steve 2mins. He/We deserve more

Amen. I started to watch OTRWSH more than two years ago when I could no longer tolerate listening to DJT. How much time have CBS and other news media given to HIM??
