Hey Mat. Thanks for 16 years of anthems for my life. Every time I see you play it’s better than the last. I don’t know how you’ll top last night’s show, but I’ll be back to see you try!

It was take your son to the gym Day! I’m trying to get him interested in working out. 🤣🤣🤣

Today my first case closed. It was the very first case I was given, a 13 year old boy of a single mother. There wasn’t a dry eye in the courtroom as everyone took their turn lauding her achievements as a mother; praising her for how hard she has worked and how dedicated she has been. Afterwards, she and I stood in the hallway as people mingled busily around us and I held her as we both cried. The scene probably didn’t look much different than the first day we were in court when I had chased her into the hallway after she had left the courtroom in anger. But, eight months ago the tears were from frustration and today the tears were because we had to say goodbye. My chapter in their life is over now, and while that’s what we were working for all along, it’s still hard to accept because I will miss them. If I had told her story eight months ago most people probably would’ve said she didn’t deserve a second chance and that the court should take her son away. But, I saw someone who was tired and who didn’t have the tools she needed. I saw a mother who needed education not punishment, who needed support not judgment and when she was finally given these things she accepted the help and she THRIVED. There is always more to the story and there is always a chance for redemption. I hope I never forget these things and I hope I never forget this day.
