Wow. Found this by accident and I can honestly say I'm not the same after watching this

…this is a remarkable human being…period.

"How did I get here. I drove here. I had something to do with it." Wise words to remember no matter what age.

Chills came when he said, "Have I beem that kind of friend?"

Mr Gardner is one of the few men that can on one hand fill me with hope that no one can take away and on another show me that hard work will never go to waste.  I will probably never meet you and I have shed tears for your wife's plight but you fill me with an understanding I dearly wish my father had taught me.  Thank you Mr Gardner.

At 38, I lost my only sibling, Jenny to a car accident.  at 41 I lost my only parent Theresa to another car accident.  It was a Monday and was due to a coyote on the 405 freeway in Irvine Ca.  I lost my way for a while but found myself in that loss.  Mr Gardner along with other kind souls helped me to know what those losses meant.

Thank you sir.

Thanks to this video, I finally understand my purpose!

I want to be this calm, this cool and this eloquent when I grow old. (Maybe also be 1/10 as wealthy as him). The man is a legend...

That was awesome! I just finished watching and its amazing how he can tell his story without breaking down! They would have had to carry me off the stage if that were me. All I can say is...That MUST be the peace of God! Amen and thank you for sharing.

The most touching speech I have ever heard, brought tears to my eyes.

Gardner is an inspiration to ALL races.  He inspires everyone from every walk of life.

He is a winner and a success story and like every successful man in history he owned up to his mistakes and corrected them, he did not blame the past or the government or the color of his skin, he knew what he had to do and did it with complete focus and determination, he is an example for all of us to follow!!!

The Part where Chris talks about a DNR and Holly's foot gave me the the chills. I had to stop the video for a moment -
Hits so close to home!

Amazing.  Where does his man's positive spirit come from?

You are a very special person. It was a privilege to listen to you speak.

People dont know how special amazing this human is , people hit the bottle and throw the there life in from a simple down in there life try to imagine what Chris went through. be inspired and you to can do it.

I have a new hero. I know at least some of his journey. It's hard being a single parent but you know... keep going.

I must, I will find my "have to," my button.

One of the best and most impactful inspirational speeches  I have ever heard.

Thank you Chris for sharing your story. Your movie motivated me so much that  enable me to re imagine my life and do  what I love to .you're  a legend.
