It was a really, truly scary scene to witness that yesterday, as everyone in the country probably can agree with. I would have felt the way I felt no matter who it was, but for it to be my nephew, man, it was especially more of a gut punch to see that. I’m thankful that he’s still here, he’s still alive, and he’s still fighting. We’re just taking it day by day and continue to let the medical staff do what they do.”‘

‘”We are human. We are not athletes, we are not superstars, we are not celebrities, we are not anything. We are humans at this moment,” he said via ESPN. “We are vulnerable humans. Our brother is fighting and we have taken off all of that armor and we’re just being human.”‘

‘”I can’t even describe it, but I cherish it every second that I can,” Hamlin says in the clip. “Every second of every day. We just had our prayer, our DB prayer we do every Wednesday. He was next to me and I just grabbed his hand a little bit harder just because you know you never know when your last day could be that you get to experience something like this. I’m cherishing every moment that I can.”‘
