@doctorhoeflinger: I have taken today off every year for the past 13 years since my son Brian died in a car accident. I do it as a reminder of how precious life truly is and how quickly it can all be taken away in an unexpected instant.
I cry every time I see your videos my son would be 56 tomorrow his neurosurgeon had water in his eyes when he told me he couldn’t save my son he was 39 had massive stroke leaving 4 little girls the only thing that gets me through is I was blessed to have him for 39 years when I tell people the words you say they tell me I need to heal but am not going to stop living in his memory thank you for your courage to a platform of this kind

I hate to hear you talk about Brian because it makes my heart ache for you and your family. Thank you for the great advice to do what is important now instead of putting it off until later.

Take care of yourself Brian, your videos have inspired me to get my certification in Cardiac Monitoring, and then becoming a Cardiac Sonographer.

I take my Birthday off each year and make it a day for me. One time I took the time to go see someone in the hospital and that was a mistake, that I have not ever repeated!
