It’s been a miracle and blessing from God that I haven’t had anything seriously wrong that would keep me out for a year or two or ended my career. I’m just glad to be here for my kids, my family, my fans, and everybody who supported me and the media and stuff like that. It’s a blessing just to be here.”
