Ronnie explained, “He was just like, ‘I’m proud of you … I’m glad that you finally got to your point.’ He’s like, ‘People can try to push you and force you to do things that you want, but that’s not the way you get someone to do it. You have to want to do it.’”
The father of one divulged that Mike “pushed him to get healthy." "Just him being around was definitely an inspiration. When you’re the way I was – just depressed, always angry, resentful and just regretful was a big thing – you look at him and you’re like, ‘I want that. I want to be positive.’”
