(00:00) my mom would be to all my sporting events let’s say I was playing football okay my mother would be on the sidelines and if the play on the field started going one way my mother would run along my God I’d be like oh my gosh I’d get in the huddle with the other guys that go Mark is that your mother I go no I never saw her before in my life the greatest gift my mother ever gave me she believed in me I have overdosed on drugs on three occasions where I should have been dead I believe I was kept here for a reason
(00:37) you show me your friends I will show you your future how do I know this I hung out with losers and I became the Biggest Loser them all because I gave up everything I dreamed about as a little boy because of who I chose to surround myself with my friends would drive me home at two three four in the morning we’d be drunk and high laughing in the car we pulled in front of my house in New York they go Mark Mark the lights on I go oh man my mother’s up see my mom wouldn’t go to bed until she knew her son was still alive I’d walk
(01:10) and she’d say hi Mark how was your night that goes good Mom it’s gonna go to bed she goes can I can I talk to you for a minute I go Mom I’m tired I’m just gonna go to bed she goes Mark I haven’t seen you all day and all night can I please talk to you I said man just leave me alone you bug me I’d slam my bedroom door on the one person who believed in me I was on a worldwide tour and we were wrestling overseas in Japan after my wrestling match went upstairs in my hotel room and I fell asleep
(01:41) there was a knock at my door at three o’clock in the morning I got out of bed I looked through the safety window and I could see it was a Japanese promoter so I opened the door and he said Mark you need to call home there’s been an emergency I went and got a hotel room phone I called back tonight hey what’s going on I said Mark I don’t know how to tell you this I said just tell me what happened I was gonna start crying they go Mark I can’t tell you I said just say it said Mark [Music] your mother died
(02:16) [Music] I just threw the phone down I ran out of my hotel room I took the elevator to the lobby and the doors opened up I just ran out into the street I mean there was no cars there was no people’s three o’clock in the morning and I walked down the middle of a street in haroshima Japan and I remember looking up and just saying mom I am so sorry I flew home for her funeral and I was so nervous to walk up to her gasket so I just stood way in the back and I kept looking from a distance I kept thinking to myself mom
(02:53) please wake up please get up I finally got the nerve to walk up to her and as I got closer I could see my mom for the first time I mean she was so beautiful she she was dressed in white I mean Angel and I just stood over and I said mom you are my hero everything I am everything I hope to be was because of you you love me so much you gave me a life you’re the only one that ever believed in me [Music] drunk by getting high by getting stupid by hanging out with losers for what she ever wanted to do was talk to me
(03:43) I wish I could talk to you now Mom I wish you could see what I’m doing why couldn’t I have been a better son we are defined by our choices but if you surround yourself with people involved in drugs and alcohol and pills it’s a dead end I’m not here to preach to you I’m here to tell you I live that life it leads to broken hearts broken relationships Broken Dreams and death for what to get high if you have a mother or a father when you go home tell them how much you love them [Music] see my whole life was about being rich
(04:24) and famous I had to be a millionaire I had to win the race I had to win the race to expense my marriage my family my friends for what to be all alone in the world and learned what is truly important and that is how precious this gift of life is and our families [Music] and how quickly it could be taken away see I no longer live in time I live in moments see it’s not what’s in your pocket that matters it’s what’s in your heart that truly matters love is just a word until somebody comes along and gives it meaning
(05:05) you you’re the meaning [Music]
