Alcohol addiction. His estranged wife Jennifer Garner supporting him through it all. Now, affleck, in his own words, sharing an inspiring message for his kids, his coparent, jen and anyone afraid to seek help. And Prince William caught on camera showing off his dance moves at a nightclub in this footage released by tmz hanging out with a model on a getaway with friends skipping out on a family affair. Some are asking is he shirking his royal responsibilities . Good morning, america. Busy thursday right here and for millions across the northeast, a lot of digging this morning. Yeah, theyre be busy dig out. Not as bad as some feared in new york city but plenty of places got a lot of snow . Scranton, these cars that are buried there. Thats a lot of digging to get out. And in Staten Island two ponies escaping when blown open by the wind and we can happily report they were safely put back in the barn, theyre back home nice and warm. Out for a little run. Well have much more on the storm and deep freeze but begin with that revelation overnight. A portion of president trumps 2005 tax returns now made public. The documents showing how much he made, how much he lost and how much he paid in income taxes that year. Our chief White House Correspondent jon karl has all those details for us. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. These are not trumps full tax returns, but just a twopage summary and it shows that for 2005 at least he paid millions of dollars in taxes. Overnight, that trump tax revelation. The first two pages of his 2005 filing leaked showing an income of nearly 153 million. The president ended up paying 38 million in taxes, that adds up to an effective tax rate of just over 25 . Trump paid less than what was that year by declaring 103 million in losses greatly reducing his total tax bill. For more than a year, donald trump is refusing to release his taxes even telling george last spring that its none of his business. What is your tax rate . Its none of your business. Youll see it when i release but i fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible. Reporter the twopage tax summary obtained by David Cay Johnston who received it in the mail and announced it with up hype on the the Rachel Maddow show and he has no idea who sent it to him but doesnt rule out the possibility it was donald trump himself. Let me point out its entirely possible that donald sent this to me. Donald trump has over the years leaked all sorts of things. Reporter although trumps effective tax rate in 2005 was significantly lower than the top income tax bracket, trumps rate of 25 is actually much year before he ran for president , just 14 . This is the second time a twopage summary of trumps taxes has been sent anonymously to a reporter. In october, the first two pages of trumps 1995 return was sent to the New York Times and that return, however, trump paid no taxes at all because he was able to declare a whopping 916 million loss that included three failed casinos among other business ventures. The white house confirmed the accuracy of these leaked pages but also blasted the reporter who got them saying, quote, it is totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns. Its important to point out, george, that this again is just a twopage summary. There are a lot of Unanswered Questions here. The summary does not get into specifics about where he got his money or what his financial ties are. George. Thks joined now by the man at the center of the storm, David Cay Johnston. Congratulations, you broke it on d. C. Report. Org and covered his taxes four years and open the mail, find these pages from 2005. But do you really think he could have leaked them to you. Donald has a long history of leaking things about himself. Sometimes he doesnt like you, though. No and i think its in the realm of possibility. No evidence. No. No, its a possibility. Or someone at his direction but the venom and anger and falsehoods in the white house statement suggest that, no, hes probably not the source of this. There is on that page two of the document that it says client copy. Yes. Who does that tell you. That tells me this is somebody who either worked at the Accounting Firm or had connections to it or this copy was turned over to someone in a regulatory proceeding in litigation in a Financial Statement and whyot well, somebody wanted to photocopy something they wont take a thousand pages to the feet cocopier. The envelope had the return address of trump tower. Any return address on your envelope . No, and thats the one i suspect donald did leak those last summer or last fall didnt make him look good. In donalds mind it would. He is an unusual character as to what he thinks makes him look good. There was a lot of speculation that he could have avoided paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years. This clearly shows that he paid millions in taxes, also made a lot of money. It does, it shows he was very successful and it also implies that he had an average income of 81. 5 million in the previous ten years because he bought though tax shelter. When he didnt pay back over 900 million in loans to the banks, the banks wrote that off. He bought a tax shelter that let him deduct the same amount. Big question now, you just got two pages from 2005. What doesnt this show . Well, trump is beholden to. I mean we know for example that he owes money to Deutsche Bank which is deeply involved in Money Laundering for the russians. He owes money to the communist bank in china, the bank of china which is also the largest tenant in trump tower. A u. S. President in hock to a bank in china and dont know who hes getting his revenue from or who his partners are or who hes done business with in Foreign Countries and that could have Major National security implications. We do now know this audit excuse that the president said is no real reason not to release. Nonsense. And now weve seen 1995 and 2005. These 2005 returns certainly not scandalous in any way from what we know of what was released so what is it he trying to hide . Youve covered him for a long time. I dont think he wants us to know all the people hes done business with both those hes beholden to and those he receives income from. Whats important, here, one of the key elements of Donald Trumps tax plan is getting rid of the alternative minimum tax. You and i and everybody else prosperous is on the alternative minimum tax. If that hadnt existed, donald trump would have paid a tax rate on his 153 million lower than the average paid by the poorest half of americans. So, youre saying based on this 2005 tax return donald trump proposal now would give a big benefit to donald trump. An enormous benefit to him and if you put that across a lot of people, it would have also caused Serious Problems for us in doing all of the things government needs to do. I think this will spring more leaks . I hope so. David cay johnston, thanks very much. Now the president has weighed in on twitter and says does anybody really believe that a reporter who nobody ever heard of went to his mailbox and found my tax returns lets talk about the legal implications. The white house is saying this is against the law. Is that the case . Probably not. There is a specific law on the books that makes it a felony to release without authorization tax returns or tax related return information, but thats typically viewed as applying to irs agents or the government. Furthermore theres specifically a Supreme Court case out that addressed the question of the media getting information illegally obtained. Can they publish it and the answer according to the Supreme Court was yes. I mean, if the media cant report on the president s tax returns then what does the First Amendment mean . So, i think that theres almost no question that Rachel Maddow, msnbc, David Cay Johnston are all on sound ground. In recent years all the president s have made their tax returns public. They brought them forth. But when you look at the documents that we have that have been it doesnt seem within those returns absolutely. This is actually a good return for donald trump. I mean, the only thing controversial as you just heard there this idea of the alternative minimum tax meaning if donald trump supports the idea of getting rid of the alternative minimum tax it shows you how little tax someone like him would have had to pay. Because that was the biggest chunk of tax he paid in 2005. You get rid of that alternative minimum tax and hes paying almost nothing in taxes, so, as a matter of policy, that is the biggest danger in this sort of information becoming public, but, again, i dont expect that the Trump Administration will do anything about it i dont think theyll take legal action. They didnt take legal action against politico and New York Times for more damaging information. Dan abrams, thank you. We move on to the battle over health care. President trump pushing hard as opposition continues to mount from republicans president s closest conservative allies, as well after that cbo report shows it could lead 24 more million uninsured in a decade. Cecilia vega has the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter george, good morning to you. The white house says the president is proud of this plan and that he still stands by it buts you said the opposition is growing louder. One republican senator says there is cause for alarm. The pushback against the plan to repeal and replace obamacare [ chanting ] reporter landing right at the steps of paul ryans Wisconsin Office and this morning, pushback from across the speakers own Political Party too. Conservative republicans in the house and senate saying the plan doesnt deliver on the partys promise to dismantle obamacare. Moderate members worry about that report card on the plan that says millions could lose coverage. Overnight the architect of that plan coming to its defense. Sure, there are people who have concerns or criticisms b consensus. We have an obligation to keep our promises, to pass the reforms that we told people we would pass if we got this opportunity. Reporter going on offense the white house what the Congressional Budget Office is good at is estimating income and expenses in various federal programs. What i think theyre less effective at is really evaluating what happens in the marketplace. Reporter the reality for Many Americans could be harsh. A 64yearold with a 26,000 salary could see a huge spike in their premiums, from 1700 a year under obamacare to nearly 15,000 under the gop plan. A nearly 1,000 ayear increase. But press Secretary Sean Spicer says the president will keep his campaign promise. Can you stand here today and say that the president will keep his promise of insurance for everybody . I think the president s goal is to provide insurance to make it available to everybody, do. Reporter and today the president hits the road. He is heading to detroit and then to nashville where he is expected to make a pitch on his health care plan. He will also, george, be laying a wreath at the tomb of andrew jackson. Okay, cecilia, i on another front one of the president s closest allies, congressman steve king under fire for that tweet he had the other day where he was really appealing to white nationalists saying we scant restore our civilization with somebody elses babies. The white house asked to respond to that. A total head scratcher of a tweet drawing a lot of criticism. At first the white house didnt respond to questions about that tweet yesterday, though, sean spicer did try to put distance between the president and king as you said. They are allies but yesterday spicer said the president believes that he is a president for all americans, this is not a point of view that he shares, george. Okay, cecilia vega, thanks very much. Michael. All right, george, were going to turn to that major cleanup from that that shut down cities along the east coast and rob marciano is in barrett township, pennsylvania, with more on that. Good morning, rob. I got to say that blue is a good color on you, my friend. Thanks, it pops against the white snow. No doubt. They are buried here in northeast pennsylvania. One of six states that got at least 20 inches of snow and its drifting so difficult to measure right here. That says about 15 inches. Look at this car. Its completely gone.

Public works crews working late into the night to shovel and salt to get commuters back to work this morning. The lot will be clean and everyone will be able to park today. Reporter state officials still concerned. We are still clearing the roads, many of them are filled with sleet and slush. Yeah, theres still snow coverage so clearing them will be tough especially with this more snow and windchill which right now is near zero in the middle of march. Its brutal. Michael. Thank you, robin. Still dangerous. Now to a breaking deadline. The Justice Department is set to reveal who they think stole millions of users personal information and Pierre Thomas has more. Reporter good morning. Thats right. The u. S. Government is about to reveal who it thinks is behind some of the biggest private Security Breaches in history. Sources tell abc news the government is going to accuse at least four people, a canadian and at least three russians of stealing the personal information of hundreds of millions of yahoo users. Those sources say some of the hackers are suspected of having ties to the russian government, robin. All right, pierre, thank you very much. Amy is back.

Its about finding the best one. Reporter overnight a revealing announcement from ben affleck. The 44yearold twotime Academy Award winner announcing he has sought treatment for addiction writing on facebook, i have completed treatment for alcohol addiction. Something ive dealt with in the past and will continue to i want to live life to the fullest and be the best father i can be. Affleck has three children with estranged wife Jennifer Garner. The couple fell in love while filming 2003s daredevil. I have to go. Stay with me. Reporter affleck says hes hoping to be a source of inspiration for his family. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it and to be a source of strength for anyone who needs help but is afraid to the take the first step. He attended a Rehab Facility in 2001 to get straight after, quote, being 29, partying too much and not having a lot of boundaries, says he now credits garner for her part on his current road to recovery. Im lucky to have the love of my family and friends including my coparent, jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as ive done the work i set out to do. Affleck who just weeks ago presented at the oscars with longtime friend and creative partner matt dam from garner in 2015 after ten years of marriage in the public eye. I want to thank you for working on our marriage for, you know, ten christmases, its good, it is work but its the best kind of work and theres no one id rather work with. Reporter telling robin last year the couple is focusing on putting their children first. She works very hard and shes great with the kids and, you know, like i say we put them first and take one step at a time and do our best. A source close to him says he physically went to rehab, not an Outpatient Program and this hasnt noticeably slowed his acting career starring in batman the justice league. Real example of ben taking control of the story. 2001 when i was at People Magazine we did a cover story about it and there have been stories about him whether gambling or drinking or whatever, it has stormed him and runs in the family. Hisat something he struggles with and i think this kind of puts clarifies perhaps some of the actions that have gone on lately. He would be the director of the new batman movie and decided not to do that. I dont want to speculate about his family but have put their divorce on hold. This is obviously going to lead to speculation maybe his getting treatment is a condition of some kind of reconciliation or some other kind of work within the family but i think what he said in that piece about taking care of the kids and working for them first thats been their message all through the separation. It has been. They have three kids under 10. This is what theyve focused on. This doesnt seem to be hurting his career at all. No, hes widely loved in the community and for whatever hes been struggling with hes been a guy who has had incredible ups and downs and won a best picture oscar for argo. Is respected and known in hollywood and performs and until he cant perform hes going to be taken in and allowed to work. Significant that he was actually sin to full time to a Rehab Facility. Im not sure if its that significant. I havent heard of situations where they dont go. Hes taking this seriously. When he was 29 he just found fame and partying like a young guy. Now a father of three and his life, takes it more seriously so it would make sense he wouldnt phone it in but take part physically. Larry, thanks. Coming up that troubling new report on smoke detectors and your children. Our eyeopening experiment is next. Emergency. And i smoked while amanda my i was pregnant.

Now to a warning for all parents without smoke detectors. They save thousands of lives every year but will they actually wake up your children . Abcs gio benitez is in boston. He has an eyeopening experiment for us. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, robin, good morning to you. Listen, firefighters at the Boston Fire Department are worried about this issue and you should be too, because it turns happen in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, so its critical that children wake up when they hear that smoke alarm. But will they . We put them to the test. Were inside a connecticut home with firefighter travis golick and want 0 see what will happen. Will smoke alarms wake up the children, landon, 3 1 2 and noelle, 1. Our son can usually sleep through everything. Reporter the mcbrides have an action plan in place and included their 3 1 2yearold and their son knows to be up and ready to go the moment that alarm goes off. So, youve talked to your son about the smoke alarms. He knows the sound. We have our plan and actually have a fire ladder in our bedroom. And our plan is to obviously get them and get the ladder and get out. Oh, wow. What should every family be thinking about . Making sure your smoke detectors work. The code is to put them in the bedrooms, have them outside the especially near the stairwell because the smoke rises. Its going to go up the stairwell. Reporter we rigged up cameras in the kids room and have a great view using their monitors. Our firefighter brings in a regular smoke alarm and set it off with a smoke device in the hall right outside the kids rooms with their doors open. Im nervous. [ smoke alarm going off] hes not waking up. Shes not either. Reporter when you see that what do you think . Thats not good. Because you know what, what makes me think is like would we hear it . Reporter next we set off the familys much louder smoke alarm system set off through their phones and found in all the bedroom, hallway and downstairs. Think theyll wake up . I do. Because theyre in their room. Reporter thats right. There are speakers in their rooms. We trigger them and wait. Emergency, emergency. Theres smoke. Reporter 20 seconds later. He is sti both of them. I truly thought they were going to wake up. Like truly i mean, im shocked. Right . Like im shocked looking at this. Still asleep. That definitely i feel would have woken me up. I truly thought they would have woken up. Reporter an unbelievable four minutes later the alarm still blaring and neither wakes up. As a mom and dad, what do you feel when you see this . You know, it just makes you think that you have not that you wouldnt react quick but its kind of like you really got to react the second you hear that because theyre not going to hear it. Reporter and incredibly a new study says 80 of all kids ages 2 to 14 dont wake up when they hear that smoke alarm so really its up to parents to have a plan ready and to really act as quickly as possible. Yes, especially with Young Children like that. Youre going to have 20 go in and get them when alarm like that. But for older kids who are expected to be able to get out on their own, is there something in the pipeline, another type of alarm that they perhaps will hear better . Reporter well, you know, you heard that voice on the alarm. Theyre saying, emergency, emergency, fire. Well, now a company is looking at this. Researchers are looking at this to say, will it work better if they use the parents voices so that might be interesting . Could be. All right, gio, thank you very much. And hopefully when people changed their clocks this past weekend they changed the batteries in smoke alarms. Thank you, gio. Michael. All right, thank you, robin. Coming up on our big board, Prince William in hot water. The future king caught partying in this footage from tmz. The man was raising the roof.

With 8 grams of natural protein, and 8 other nutrients to provide balanced nutrition. Moms know kids grow strong when they milk life. Board and lets start, why dont we, with Prince William in hot water. We want you to take a look at this. The future king seen dancing at a nightclub in this video released by tmz also spotted on the slopes with an oaustralian model and hitting him hard for skipping a royal event to go on that ski trip and lama hasan from london joins us. The dancing. I mean, you can kind of see hes rusty at it but hes been given a hard time for this. Tell us why. Yeah, good morning to you, amy. This is igniting a firestorm here. The british tabloids are having a field day calling Prince William a parttime prince and saying hes not pulling his weights part of the royal family. Two schools of thought. On vacation with his mates. He has had a busy schedule so far this year. Friends skiing . Well, when you miss what is being described as a majorchurch service in the royal calendar and all the members of the royal family are there and youre m. I. S. , its not sitting well with the papers especially when you see those images of him having a good time, highfiving an australian model. You saw the video there obtained by tmz hitting the dance floor getting his groove on, it just doesnt play well here and, of course, the question, where was kate . War was his wife . One paper saying, gosh, she must be really understanding to allow her husband to go off gallivanting like that. He was dancing by himself. Yeah, he was. He was. We did reach out to Kensington Palace and say this is something they dont normally comment on. Everyone in this newsroom is intoxicated watching him dance. One of the best things ive seen in a long time. You can learn something, michael. But a lot of critics have williams work ethic in the past. Does this reinforce what theyve been saying about him . Yeah, absolutely. He has been criticized. People believe that hes just not pulling his weight. Hes not doing enough as a member of the royal family. He has hit back at those critics. Last year in an interview Prince William saying he does take his royal duties very seriously. Its about finding your own way at the right time and in fairness hes not even a full time royal yet. Dont forget. He is still an air ambulance pilot. Ken sin ton palace saying hes leaving that job in the autumn moving with his family to london to take a bigger royal role and thats when he shoulden judged. Lama, thank you. Were not judges, by the way. I think the man has moves. Im glad he shows them and everybody here, a lot of smiles on our faces this morning so, lama, thank you and now were going to go to the story behind that internet sensation. A professor interrupted by his kids who crashed his live interview with the bbc last week, now hes revealing what really happened behind the scenes and nick watt joins us now. Good morning to you, nick. And, nick, regardless what do you think about the press conference . How do you think this father did under a little stress there. Reporter i think he did pretty well. Listen, this guy is clearly freaking out. Hes been hunkered down for five days before as we like to say breaking his silence. You know, five days later, 100 million views later and were still talking about this. It should have been a mildly boring interview about south korean politics, but online weve had countless forensic analyses of how this guy reacted when his daughter first then his son, then his mortified wife burst into the room live. He has, you know hes breaking silence so Professor Robert kelly, take it away. My guess is that this is the sort of thing that a lot of working parents can relate to. Your children sort of interrupt you in the project. I think it would end any television appearances. People would see this and assume it was wildly unprofessional. Yes, i was wearing pants. Someone at lunch recognized me today at the hotel and asked if i was wearing pants. Strangers ask me if i was wearing pants. I think the reason why this became why this went viral is because my real life sort of punched through the fake cover i had created for television, right. There i am in my suit delivering my talking points or whatever and then suddenly reality bursts in. I think the real issue for him it was that initial swipe, it was the swipe and the stoney face that got him the attention. Hes mortified and thats why its funny. Listen, we all know stuff happens on live tv. You guys remember those two kids adopted from china recently. They were doing like handstands live on our show and everyone laughed and thats really the only way to play it.

A number of porn sites theyre being shopped to and the price tag reported is up around half a million dollars. Reporter revenge porn where nude or sexually explicit material is released without someones consent has hit hollywood many times. Scarlett johansson and Jennifer Lawrence among those targeted.

For Good Morning America, mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. Mischa bartons attorney lisa bloom is joining us now and, lisa, thank you for joining us and i guess the first question, how was mischa doing right now . Mischa is brave. Mischa has decided that its time to stand up for her rights and i always think when a woman does that, its a very healthy and empowering move. And, lisa, when did mischa become aware of the tapes . Was it before or after this situation of these reports . Shes been aware for some time via rumors that perhaps somebody was out there shopping these tapes. But she wasnt sure until a couple of days ago when actual porn sites considering buying these thing. Now you say this was recorded without her consent. So, are you saying that they were recorded secretly . Thats right. Mischa contends that she was not aware. She did not consent and she did not even have knowledge that they were being recorded. And ups turned this you call this revenge porn and do you believe its an exboyfriend or somebody who is trying to get revenge on her . Yes, mischa believes that theres a man that she was seeing some time ago that did shes surreptitious recordings doing it for financial gain or to get back at her. California does have a law against Something Like this. Against revenge porn, so do you think the law applies in this case . The law absolutely applies and we have a message for anyone who is trafficking in these images of Mischa Barton. We will come after you. We will bring you to justice under the strong California Law on both the criminal and civil side. This is a form of sexual abuse and we will n but even with that being said even with the law youre still concerned that may not be enough to keep this out of circulation. Well, we cant be sure that people are going to comply with the law and we wanted to send out a strong message to anyone who is considering purchasing or posting these images that she does not consent and that we will come after you. If they do they can be sure that they will be that we will come after them and they will hear from us. You just said a little bit earlier you consider this a form of sexual assault. Were a lot with the marines nude photo scandal going on now but can you talk about the impact it has on victims . There is another side to this. There is a huge impact on victims. Thats why i say this is a form of intimate partner violence. And thats why california, a number of states have passed laws against it. This is very serious. Women have committed suicide over images like this being posted. We have the right to control our bodies. We have the right to control images of our b who violates those laws can and should be prosecuted. Im very proud to be in california that has a strong law against this. Well, you know what, lisa, thank you very much for your time. We appreciate you, lisa bloom. Coming up, that story of incredible bravery. How an espn writer and his wife are helping save lives.

Welcome back to Good Morning America. I want to make this your gma moment every day. Your moment this morning goes to binghamton, new york, where they had their most ever oneday recorded snowfall. That was 31. 2 inches. This is what delia from binghamton did with it. Hi, my name is delia. Im okay. The im okay. I love that. So sweet. Thats what you do when you get 31 inches of snow, all very winy refreeze likely tonight tomorrow night ice milder friday into the weekend today partly to mostly cloudy. Unseasonably cold and very windy. Highs 3035 feels Single Digits to teens winds nw 1520 g 40 tonight clear to partly cloudy. Breezy and cold. Icy spots likely. Lows 1723 mph thursday partly to mostly sunny. Still unseasonably cool and breezy. Highs 3943 winds nw 1020 g 30 mph we have been looking forward to sharing this with you. Its an incredible story of bravery. This came to us through our partner, our friends at espn after a Facebook Post that you may have seen. It was shared all around the world about a couples marriage and a very difficult choice when it came to their precious baby girl. Espn writer royce young and his wife revealing their heartbreaking decision to try and save lives through organ donations and you had a chance to sit down with this couple. Yeah, and they said they are trying to figure out they had to figure out shortterm pain versus longmaterial regret. For them their shortterm pain is going through a pregnancy and knowing theyre going to go to the hospital for delivery but go home without a baby. The longterm regret is possibly missing out on a chance to donation. Keri young and royce must do the unthinkable. Get ready for the birth and death of their baby girl. You can make plans and prepare yourself but like once we kiss her and say goodbye shes gone. Like thats it is final. Reporter in december they walked into their 19week ultrasound excited to learn whether they were having a boy or girl, brother or sister for their twoyearold son harrison. She opened the door and she said room sorry to say your baby doesnt have a brain. Your thoughts went to what. The first 48 hours were very dark and very heavy and very testing, i guess, in a way. You know, in my mind the moment i found out that she was terminal she was already dead and that was hard for me to like kind of come to that under standing. She doesnt have a brain so is she even a person . Their baby suffers from a condition known as their daughter is growing, developing, kicking but without that significant portion of the brain she wont survive long after delivery. Ultimately they indicted to carry to full term to donate her organs. There was a freedom if that and thats we started to feel happiness. For as long as she lives, 24 hour, 48 hours. Were her mommy and daddy. Did you consider terminating. Absolutely. You can be the most prolife person in the world but until you sit there and you hear those words and you look at your future going forward, thats when you got to face the reality and make your own decision. What are doctors telling you all . What are they telling you for how long you will get to be a mommy and daddy, how much time possibly. I mean it could be anywhere from five minutes to 36 hours. We have no idea. Her life will potentially save dozens which made naming their girl. Eva means giver of life. There is another family out a kidney knowing full well that that means that somebody else is going to have to go through heartbreak. Theyre praying for a miracle themselves. Eva can be that miracle and do more in her 24 hours than maybe well ever do in our lives and to be able to remember our daughter in that way is pretty powerful. They are just the couple of months away from delivery. They have the date picked out. Theyll do it in may. Go in, have a csection and have very Close Friends and family there, but as soon as that baby is born a clock is ticking and they dont know how much time is on it. It could literally be five minutes only that they get that little girl. Ive read his post after and over again as many of us did and he was in new orleans for the nba allstar game and said a friend of ours here on this program, jarious waiting for a liver transplant that in part he was thinking thats the reason why he wanted to write this. Because jarrius as we know, he was wearing a tshirt that said it takes lives and the point there being that somebody has to go through heartache in order for somebody else to have their miracle. Their child has to die in order for another child to live and he said that really, really resonated with him and he just sat there and wanted to write this about his wife. He said she discovered her superpower. Shes a superhero and watching her go through it. You feel the kicks and youre going through the whole pregnancy but dont get the baby at the end. I was looking at a lot of faces here in the studio as we were watching this piece and just theyre theyre an amazing couple. Incredible. Thank you for sharing that with us. All right. Thank you, t. J.
