Kept happening, ended up, Matthew said, um we need to take you and get you looked at. Went to get an MRI. They sat us down and they said, here's your brain tumor. I got it removed. And that's when we said, OK, we need to have this conversation.
[Matthew Stafford] Once we had kids and their futures involved, it's such an important thing to have to give yourself peace of mind.
