Honey Hireme-Smiler's CRAZY Story! #shorts

June 08, 202500:42
00:00:00
when it was my mom's uh cancer diagnosis
00:00:02
that in fact we got 9 weeks. I didn't
00:00:04
allow myself to cry because that would
00:00:07
be me accepting the fact that she was
00:00:09
going to die when I finally said in my
00:00:11
mom's ear as she lay in a coma state,
00:00:14
"You can go now, Mom." And those were
00:00:16
probably the hardest
00:00:18
words. There was just this massive stuff
00:00:20
up. So New Zealand Rugby League had
00:00:22
booked my flights at the wrong airport
00:00:24
and I had to travel like 3 4 hours
00:00:26
across Russia to get to this other
00:00:28
airport. Honestly, I don't know what
00:00:30
came over me, but there was no way I was
00:00:32
going back to New Zealand. There was no
00:00:33
way I was going to miss this World Cup
00:00:35
because I had that responsibility. I'd
00:00:37
been selected as a captain and I was
00:00:38
going there.
