  Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day, everybody. Happy Mother's Day, Carl, thank you,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and to all the mothers out there, that's happy Mother's Day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: We appreciate and love you.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You know. Closing sad to say, there are people who
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: have mothers that they don't have a good relationship with,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and I want to employ you to change that. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: know a very famous guy, uh when I won my
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: first Image Award and I had thanked my mother, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I think I said something to the fact that I
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: wish she was here. I remember saying something, and as
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I walked off stage, this very famous guy said to me,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I wish I felt that way about my mama, but
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I ain't spoke to her in ten years. And I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: stopped and I said, bro, you need to fix that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: He said, no, you don't understand what happened. I said,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I may not, but you need to fix that. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: don't know what happens between a child and their mother
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: where they don't speak. I've seen it happen up close before,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and it's alarming to me because there's a scripture that says,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: honor thy mother and our father and that days on
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: this earth will be long. Also, I just don't understand
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: how it gets to that point. But if it's gotten
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to that point for whatever reason, let me say something
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to you. You need to fix this because let me
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: explain something to you. Whatever mistake your mother has made,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: whatever you think, you gotta remember, she's also not only
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: your mother. She is a human being, and human beings
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: make mistakes. They do it all the time. Nobody is
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: exempt from that. But the fact that you've managed to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: hold it for so long it will serve you no
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: good in the event of her demise. I know another
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: person who didn't have a relationship with their mother and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: then their mother passed. And man, this boy right here,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: he was crushed on so many levels. And I had
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: told him, I said, man, you need to clean this
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: up for something happened. Nah. Man, it's cool the way
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it is, But that will come a day when you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: will lose this person who gave you life. And I'm
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you something. There will be no words for you,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: that will be no comfort for you. There ain't nothing
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: nobody can say to you. You're gonna wear this one
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: on me. You're gonna wear this one whether you want
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to or not, because theres several of us on this
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: show have lost her and I'm telling you it is
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a major, major loss. And I don't care if you've
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: been cool with her, hung out with her, love to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: cherish her, or you had disagreement with her. If I
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was you, I would fix that because they are the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: one person that brought you into this world and you
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: owe them for that. You just do. Now. I know
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: that's people that's gonna disagree with me, because social media
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is just that way. You know. I get trolled all
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the time of our comments I make. But I have
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the right to have my own opinion about something. What
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I'm giving you is what I think and feel. What
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I'm giving you is what I have seen happen repeatedly.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You have got to clean up this relationship with your
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: mom because she's vital, She's important. You know what. You're
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: probably old enough now to be able to say, you
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: know what, I'm sorry, let's start over. You're probably old
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: enough now to say, you know what, I forgive you
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: for whatever happened. I don't want us to spend another
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Mother's Day without communicating with another because one day we're
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: not gonna be here for each other. It's just an
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: important relationship. And you got to remember something that I've
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: had to learn about forgiveness. Forgiveness is not for the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: other person. It's for you, because every time you think
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: about her and what happened and what caused the rift,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: or what you're blaming her for, it conjures up something
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in you. Bishop Jake said it best. He said, not
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: forgiving a person is like you drinking the poison, waiting
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: on them to die. That's really what it's like. I
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: had to forgive somebody this year who had done me
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ohso wrong, and I had to forgive them this year.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And you know what, I felt better after I did it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And you know why, because now when I think of him,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: it don't conjure up those thoughts because I've let it go. Naw,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna get me again. I'm not gonna forget it,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: but I have forgiven you for it. This is a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: time to make it right with somebody who gave you life.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: This is the time to consider, just for a moment,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that this person that you are holding accountable for whatever happened,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is a member of the human race. And there is
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: none perfect, no, not one. Even my mother wasn't perfect,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and I thought she was. I never saw my mother
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: do nothing wrong. I never heard my mama cuss nothing,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure my mother did something wrong. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the thing I'm great about, the thing I'm grateful for,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: is I honored her and my father until they left
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: this world, and I honored them to this day. Because
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you can't say nothing about Ilosville Harvey, not to me
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and not to my brothers. You can't open your mouth
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: about it, and she been gone twenty eight years. Say
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: somebody and see what happened. In the words of all
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the young people on site, on site, make it right
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: with your mother. Happy Mother's Day. All the mother's out there,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and we all here owe all of you our life
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and thank you for giving it to us. Those are
