I went to visit my mother today. She needed hand sanitizer, some groceries and a few other errands run. This sign greeted me at the driveway. She is 92. Glad she raised me!

I spent yesterday with my mother. She’s 92, amazing, and the best mother I could possibly have! She played Silent Night on the piano and we talked family, basketball, and current events-and had a delicious catfish lunch! I am blessed! ❤️🙏

A mid 80’s phone call to Temple University led to a 30+ year relationship. A friend, a mentor, a confidant, a father-figure...GRATITUDE and LOVE is what I have for @TUMBBHoops Coach John Chaney. THANKS COACH!

It’s not her birthday. It’s not Mothers Day. It’s not our anniversary. I am sure I don’t say it enough, but I want to say THANK YOU to my wife Laura for supporting what I do, how I do it, and simultaneously raising our boys, running the house and so much more!❤️
