Bray says he is incredibly grateful and he is nervous to be here. This is just him. This is a version of him he never got to introduce to you before. This is the genuine him. He says he wants to share the past year of his life. He lost a lot of things. He lost his career. He lost his self confidence. He lost two people very close to him. He lost his way. He got to a point where he thought everything he did here was meaningless. He thought nothing he did mattered to anyone. Bray says he was wrong. Once I was done feeling sorry for myself and go back out in the world again. People would say ‘Thank you Bray’ and ask when would he come home. Bray says there were people who came to him and they thanked him because they were in a time of need and they lost people and self confidence. They said they were weak and vulnerable. They said they found his words and they told him that he saved their lives.
Bray says he does not think about that. I can sit here today and look at you in the eyes. You were there when I was weak, vulnerable, and down. Thank you. You saved his life. You wouldn’t let me alone. Every time I tried to run away and hide, you found me. You are the reason . . .
