Thank you so much.
I love to have these conversations and it's like kindred spirits, which of course comes from the great Canadian Anne of Green Gables story, which is really about mattering when you think about it.
I say to parents, read Anne of Green Gables with your kids because Anne comes as an orphan, gets adopted by the people who finally see her and care about her.
And then she forgoes her teaching career because Marilla needs her, spoiler alert, after Matthew dies.
And I realized at one point,
That's why that story resonates with people so much.
The sense of being lost, being taken in by people who care, and then sticking around to make a difference in their lives.
Everybody has the potential.
I woke up one day after having some pain, and my wife said, you don't look good.
Your skin is turning yellow.
And we phoned the hospital.
They said, come in right away.
And I had a problem with bile duct issues where they figured, though, that if they addressed whatever blockage there was, that I would get better.
Instead, I didn't get better.
I started to get, went deep yellow in terms of jaundice and eventually orange.
And I'm talking pumpkin orange at one point.
Ended up losing 40 pounds, had four different procedures where they thought they must have just missed something.
And then eventually the one doctor who I ended up on his operating table who I'd never met, he figured it out.
I call him my doctor house like the TV show.
Because he figured out there was only one variable that was left, and that was the IV that was going into me.
