And, you know, they'll come in like they'll say if a young child died, they'll say, well, something like, well, you know, God needed another angel. I'm like, what? You know, or they might say something like, oh, I really understand how you feel. What? You don't understand how I feel. Yeah.

In my experience, I'll put it like that, in my experiences, I've seen people that do not necessarily particularly care for the person inside the casket, but they want to put on a show at the funeral to talk about how much they miss them. You know, I mean, and it's like, I don't know. I think when it comes to death, people have different perspectives about it.

And they sometimes do things that are not helpful, even though they try to be helpful. And so I think this kind of conversation of talking about death is so very, very important because you have to, I believe that you have to have some kind of settledness in it for yourself. I know that in my, I'll tell you my story.

In my personal life, I have been very clear with my family that when I die, I want to be planted as a tree. And they are like, what are you talking about? Are you crazy? No, I want to be a tree. I'll be an oak tree. I really don't like squirrels, but I'll be an oak tree or I'll be a pecan tree. I'll be something. But I think that, you know, I've come to that place where I've had, uh,

the time to get that resolved. I know that in life, the only thing that's certain, taxes and death. Right, right. So having this kind of conversation with you was helpful for me in terms of really kind of sorting through some things.

You know what, San, I think that, you know, you talk about the uncomfortableness of it, you know, I think in the shared in her research, she talked about the fact that we have somewhat segregated death from ourselves in a certain kind of way is that, you know, when I was younger, I, you know, and you and I both seasoned, so, you know, death was, you know, sometimes people had people in their home that people, they died in their home.

But now people are dying in, you know, in hospitals. People are dying on their own. I mean, I don't know, euthanasia, I guess, it might be another word for it right now. Everything is so politically charged. But, you know, so we got all these kind of things.

Is that the last one, Z? I mean, like, come on. Come on, you old. I mean, we're old. So, I mean, let's keep it real.
