that I'm hiding a huge secret.

producer as a writer the amount of perspective on life womanhood that I gained in the process of getting to know Tanya I just there are so many moments along the way where I just my mind felt blown or I felt so overwhelmed with emotion you know there are just certain things that

the amount of grit and perseverance this person had just made me, you know, gave me perspective in the sense of there are certain things in my life that just really aren't that bad or, and I don't want to say that she's this downtrodden person.

It was more, has more to do with her outlook on like when things get bad, I can't, I can't dwell on it.

I just have to, I just, you know, she says, I just had to keep going and,

And there's something about her code, her life code, that although you could say is shrouded in deceit or whatever, if you want,

that really is like, there are a lot of gems in there to live by.

And I think that I was really struck by that.

But this, I think, story is also a reminder that, you know, it could be tomorrow, it could be five years, it could be 50 years.

Like the truth always comes out.

And I think that is the patience this person gave that process is fairly remarkable.

Yes, that is so true.

And I think, yeah, another major theme of this story is forgiveness.

And there are people along the way that Tanya views with so much grace and compassion and even love that

I found myself being like, I do not know if I could do that.

I don't know if I could do that.

But it also, I mean, this is somebody who is 77 years old now, not to make it about this, but I mean, she's in incredible health.

She looks amazing.

you know you'd think that carrying a secret with you and having to be on the move all the time would just kind of like age you and keep a you'd have a chip on your shoulder etc i almost feel like she's an example of like if you walk around this world with like loving kindness and that's the longevity key right there there's just something about her where i'm like wow i could probably approach people a little bit kinder um right and

Yeah.
