I would tell them to be brave and to, to move forward, because the the changes that it makes to your life, not only for you, but for those that you may, leave behind is is, changes you. It's changed our life. We were okay. I mean, we had already we had some savings. We we were okay. But now not only would would are we okay, we've been able to help our kids. We're we've been able to help, you know, his sisters, which he he's been able to make that a reality. You know, he's been able to take care of his sisters. So that's very comforting to him, our grandchildren. So it's it's life changing. It it really is life changing. And we were okay, but now, you know, it just it's just different. They knew what we were going through was difficult, and they just had had a a charitableness about them that we embraced them. And I think in the same way, they embraced us. The legal aspect of it, if I can remember if I remember, it was just sign here because we're going to proceed with this company. And sign here because we're going to proceed with this company. And, you know, and and then we would get back responses. We would get back financial rewards if if that's if that's the right word. But, they did everything. They did everything. We didn't we didn't think of anything. I can't think of anything that it was difficult for us. When we had to go to trial in New York, they they did everything. If I'm going to say that anything was difficult, yeah, the sickness was difficult. But the, the legal aspect of it, we weren't involved in in that. We handed it over to them and they they just they just took care of us. I've learned to hope. I've learned that, things aren't final, that there are some positive things in the negative. I've learned to trust. I've learned that there is, there's a tomorrow. There's a tomorrow. That that whatever you may be going through, there's a tomorrow. And that, if you persevere, that things will be okay.
