"my family took notice because the host is not a sentimental person in the slightest, he is a serious artist who worries about the human condition. And I agree with him on this show, the sacrifice and courage of this young man is an act of Love with the power to awaken this world."

yes i tend to lie about my emotions to appear tough, but no tough guy can listen to this show and not wonder how to remain strong in the face of loss. I know soldiers with medals who were less brave than Aaron. I salute his courage and pray his family finds peace in his heavenly destination.
