Michael "Mike" is my biological dad. I am very happy that he was EJs inspiration and I just want to thank you for sharing this video with all of your subscribers. Just reading these comments and seeing people say these positive about my father means a lot. He was the best dad anyone could ask for!! I hope this motivates people and actually makes a difference. :)
It's beautiful, the conformity between what mike said and what he'd done, "it's not about what you have, it's about what you do, it's not about how much intelligence you have, it's about how much impact you make.." .. He actually said those lines, and this speech right here was his direct impact, he said sth really simple yet really influential, and so there was his impact. May your soul rest in Peace, Mike.🌻

P Boy it sounds like you are doing all the right things! From my experience , there is definitely a time that is challenging when you are on your own. Don’t break and don’t fall! The gift is the daily presence (presents) if your family!! Praying for you friend!!

Stepfather's are called that because they step up to a role where they make a difference and put a mark in our lifes. My stepfather he showed me how a man is supposed to make ends meet and take care of your family.
What a lovely man! Mike you were a blessing. When he said the bit about the camera I thought Mike was going to say, you're not my real son but I still care about you. What he said was better.
Well done and well stated my friend, you are absolutely correct. Aside of you being a young brat, you actually turned into the man who mentored you, of which he would be proud.
So inspirational. Doesn’t matter who you are as long as you work hard enough any dream you put your mind to can become reality. Think big, Because “If not us, then who?, if not know, then when?”
Such a Beautiful Inspirational Story. Thank You for sharing your moments with a selfless man who took the time to Step Up and be a Father, Friend, and Mentor to you and your brother.
"Young man why are you eating that fish? You man says: "Because I love fish" He says, Oh you love the fish, thats why you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it. Don't tell me you love the fish. You love yourself, and because the fish tastes good to you, therefore you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it. So much of what is love, is fish love. And so, young couple falls in love, young man young woman fall in love, what does that mean? That means that he saw in this woman someone who he felt could provide him with all his physical and emotional needs, and she felt in this man somebody she feels that she can write that was love, but each one was looking out for their own needs. It's not love for the other. The other person becomes a vehicle, for my gratification. Too much of what is called love, is fish love. An external love is not on what i'm going to get but what i'm going to give. We had in ethicist rabbi dessler who said, 'The people make a serious mistake in thinking that you give to those who you love.' And the real answer is, you love those whom you give. His point is, if I give something to you, i'v invested myself to you. And since self love is a given, everybody loves themselves. now that part of me has become in you, there's part of me in you that I love. So.. true love is a love of giving, not a love of receiving."
Im crying I've never had a dad like that My dad divorced my mom lost him hes alive but he never been a real das to make his kids happy he always fought with her my grandma still believes that my dad and mom could be together but no my mom found a new boyfriend I never gave him alot of love because I was scared to lose him but then he got deproted life says theres a good thing there and it was my stepdad being there for us Now I have no real dad..To become my real dad
Well I’ve been living with my step father for 8 years, never showed up to any soccer games, doesn’t supports what I love to do, and we have nothing in common. That’s crazy
So many people need to see this today. Can't tell you how many people wanna whine and say that because there skin is this color they are so oppressed and can't achieve greatness or anything. The reality is you can achieve anything regardless of race or background if you just put in the effort.
I never had someone like a dad, I only have a step dad who absolutely doesn't care about me. He even brought the police home because he beat me, I need a Mike, i want a mike
Today is the day after Christmas since I am on monitor just released from jail. I received gifts and helped a friend who was released with me get back on his feet. I gave him some of my gifts to make it Christmas. Since im on house arrest I could not go anywhere. But I was able to make it happen. Just today I received a call from some friends who play online with us Call of Duty Warzone and they asked us If they could send us gifts. I thought man its true what we put into the universe we get in return. Its not about how much we have its about being humble and being able to give back. They are two kids from Virgina Jupiter and Chris and im happy that they became our good friends. They are both joining the military Marines. Its people like this who make this world a better place. So always remember that we are not alone even though life can be unfair sometimes and trust me trouble will come in many shapes and forms. But never give up because we have a. Merciful God who shows us that good people still exist. And no matter what you go through when no one seems to care the good Lord always will bring good people who understand. I was kinda sad I didnt get to talk to my son and wish him a Merry Xmas, but today with a simple text from a stranger I just met made my day hope everyone has a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year all the way from San Antonio Texas! Stay blessed. -ZeroCool

Also can be said ,
its not about what u know, but what we dont know.
which may have the answer, then of course doing what u feel is right
Yes, we can read.
*Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?*
As soon as you said mike passed away it was like if you hit me with a straight bullet that creates goosebumps , rip mike
Same!
He spoke to my class on a field trip
N1TROGAMING lucky
When?
he came to my school and talked to us too!
It's beautiful, the conformity between what mike said and what he'd done, "it's not about what you have, it's about what you do, it's not about how much intelligence you have, it's about how much impact you make.."

May your soul rest in Peace, Mike.🌻
*I think one day you'll find that you're the hero you've been looking for. ¥*
Woah!
🇯🇵
I don't think I will find one so I am gonna try to be my own one 😥
😭😭😭 thanks ❤❤❤
It doesn't have to be your family to be your hero...
Your story touched me sincerely... so heartwarming.. made me smile, Thankyou.
Wow! I wish my Dad would have been like that. What a wonderful man Mike was.
No one is to old to find new love ❤️
Awe! RIP Mike! Fantastic human! I hope my kids get a Mike someday!
Be the Mike

This made me appreciate my dad. Hes always helping me out. And I dont show enough appreciation. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Wow very powerful, Inspiring story... May the soul of Mike Rest In Peace,
Everyone deserves a ‘Mike’ in their lives. What a blessing he was!!❤️
Stepfather's are called that because they step up to a role where they make a difference and put a mark in our lifes. My stepfather he showed me how a man is supposed to make ends meet and take care of your family.
I know Mike is in HEAVEN NOW. He is Resting in Peace. He was a wonderful human being.
This was amazing, you never know how someone might influence you.
What a lovely man! Mike you were a blessing. When he said the bit about the camera I thought Mike was going to say, you're not my real son but I still care about you. What he said was better.
Mike gave God the glory by living that kind of life..the narrator gives God the glory by giving his testimony
RIP MIKE AND THANKS FOR MOTIVATING PEOPLE THROUGH E.J
The 68 dislikes are the fathers who don't or didn't raise or aren't in their own kids' lives.
Or they realise the person telling this story is a 100% trash an Mike wanted all his good energy on its trash spirit.
Well done and well stated my friend, you are absolutely correct. Aside of you being a young brat, you actually turned into the man who mentored you, of which he would be proud.
Most of times we are satisfied by thought that we have abilities and we don't bring that out.
Thanks for motivation
love and respect for the man we all call mike.
So inspirational. Doesn’t matter who you are as long as you work hard enough any dream you put your mind to can become reality. Think big, Because “If not us, then who?, if not know, then when?”
Life is not about how long you are here its about how much you do when you are here
Woo .really amazing. He is a super and Great person .I proud he and you .God bless you and your family forever. Your speech makes me wanna cry.....
God bless men like Mike, may he rest in eternal peace.
May God bless Mike's soul.
I’m so glad I didn’t skip this video, it motivated me so much
Such a Beautiful Inspirational Story. Thank You for sharing your moments with a selfless man who took the time to Step Up and be a Father, Friend, and Mentor to you and your brother.
So beautiful.
Rest In Peace Mike! ❤️
This guy came as a guest speaker at UCCS and I got a picture with him it was so cool
If you haven't got your own Mike, be your own Mike.
All I’ve ever wanted is for someone to come into my life like this and be like Mike
Beautiful!RIP Mike!🙏🌟💥
"Young man why are you eating that fish?
You man says:
"Because I love fish"
He says,
Oh you love the fish, thats why you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.
Don't tell me you love the fish.
You love yourself, and because the fish tastes good to you, therefore you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.
So much of what is love, is fish love.
And so, young couple falls in love, young man young woman fall in love, what does that mean?
That means that he saw in this woman someone who he felt could provide him with all his physical and emotional needs, and she felt in this man somebody she feels that she can write that was love, but each one was looking out for their own needs.
It's not love for the other. The other person becomes a vehicle, for my gratification.

An external love is not on what i'm going to get but what i'm going to give.

So true
