Transcript

Timber Cleghorn

Am I just worthless dust trapped in a meaningless existence, or is there something? We can bring it. We can bring hope, and we can bring life by just being there, speaking a kind word, lifting them up with a strong hand. That's why I've dedicated my life that way, and I and I hope that it will be meaningful to someone in the end.
