Feeling grateful. @serenawilliams you've now given me another incomparable gift -- you're the GMOAT. Thanks to all the amazing medical staff who took care of my wife & our daughter. I'll never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her baby sister. 'Your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea".
