Higgins’ inspiring story in his own words

Look, I am an emotional person. Probably a little too much, if you ask me.

It does not take much to move me or to get me teary-eyed. Whether it is reading the Word, watching a special moment on television, watching a movie or experiencing something in everyday life.

As the saying goes, “I wear my heart on my sleeve.”

So, I can say reading Tee Higgins’ story about his mom called Momma’s Boy’ in The Players’ Tribune, brought me to tears several times. I had heard of Higgins’ story, but I did not really know the details or understand in it, until I read it, “in his own words” this morning.
