I forgot about that, but he did a lot for a kid to deal with. So I find it, and I find that those voids from those people in Glenn or Cindy or Tammy, or these older, wiser folks that can walk with me and help me make better decisions, that I can listen to in meetings and get wisdom from, or just listen in general or bounce things off of, I have those people in my life Today, and that's what it's about.
