They're doing good. They really are. Cody's fully aware of what happened to his dad. He knows how his life ended and all the details. And in fact, he, you know, we'll talk about this, I'm sure. But, you know, he's went to Tallahassee with me to lobby for changes in the mental health. And criminal justice rules. So he's like, you know, he has a pretty good handle on it. He seems to be okay.
