No one was standing up for the poor kid as he was bullied by his fellow students.
That is until her grandfather stood up and said, Stop.
That one reminder of hergrandfatherskindness, bravery, and childhood nickname was all it took for Hager.
I looked at Henry and I said, Thats her name.
Her daughter, Poppy, was born a few months later.
We want the kid thats going to say Stop.
Kotb replied, This is what its about.
Its about raising your kids up to be the kid who stands up for the one.
We need it so much in this world, Hager agreed.
