“As a gift, I’ll give you my personal custom truck,” Johnson wrote. My little one.
“I gathered as much information about everyone in the audience as I could, and Oscar’s story eventually impacted me.”
“Looks after his 75-year-old mother.” Trainer for individuals. He is the pastor of his church. Provides meals and support to women who have been victims of domestic violence. Navy veteran who is both proud and humble. Human being who is kind.
“Oscar stated it perfectly, just before driving away – it’s all about love.”
“That’s all there is to it, brother,” he continued. “It’s all about love.”
