I’m writing to you this morning from Berlin, which is home this week to the 2023 Special Olympics World Games. I feel like I’m writing to you from the soul of humanity. I feel like I’m writing from a place of deep knowing that I am exactly where I’m supposed to be.

I am here in Berlin with some friends, two of my children, and my brothers—all of whom are extraordinary fathers. I wish them and my kids’ dad a happy Father’s Day today, as well as any of you who might be celebrating. I’m also remembering and honoring my own father who is up in heaven looking down on us.
