“I was awake the whole time. It was tough and it is tough in general, but I just kind of always had the attitude that it’s really tough now but things will just be okay, and I had my family around me, I had good friends, and basically just my faith really helped me to carry me through,” said Jesse in his interview with the Daily Mail.
