“Chicago missed out on an exceptional firefighter but I never missed out on an exceptional father.”
absolutely beautiful! your storytelling is amazing & the message really brought a smile to my face. i wish for many good things to come for your dad

Wow. I completely loved this recorded segment! The words, the music, the message. Congrats and keep the stories coming. Unfortunately, I cannot attend the Monday series anymore due to a mentoring obligation but this makes up for it. Thank you.
You brought back some memories and similar sentimentalities…i remember that hat
Yoli, you bought tears to my eyes, this is so beautiful. As usual, your story telling is wonderful. I am so glad to know you:)
Wow, this story is incredibly powerful. What a tale told by Yolanda. I love the idea of the smiley face on the thumb with the firefighter hat on top. The music just puts it over the top.
