And I was like, Paul, but we already found something for you and it got you out.

Like, we've shown that we can do it.

Like, let's try another one.

And he said, no, David, I don't want to.

And then the two of us just cried, you know, tears of sadness, you know, cried tears of joy before that cried tears of sadness.

But it was

but it was okay.

This was his decision.

He knew that if he put me on the case, he knew that I was going to be all in, and he knew that I'd been able to do it once before, but he told me he didn't want to.

I was very sad, but I felt that it was absolutely the right thing, and I 100% respected it.

I understood that for him at this moment in his life, that was the right decision.

And he passed away a few days later.

Yeah.

Maybe that's the big takeaway, is that it seems like everyone wants to tell us what everyone else's decision should be.

So like, it's best for society for you to do this, or it's selfish of you for you to do this.

But I think that maybe that's the real fundamental thing this comes down to.

It's got to be that patient's decision.
