So I guess what I'd love to talk about is this memoir is beautiful.

It's going to, as I said, it's a beautiful celebration of friendship.

It is a wonderful understanding of grief.

But writing it must have been...

really difficult i i or or cathartic i don't know tell me so tell me about where we're at in terms of how you became ready to tell this story and how it's been for you i loved it i loved writing it i because as you say so much of it is before the the terrible thing that happens i

I don't want to try and tie this up in a neat bow because it's not like that, right?

But also, when you quit your job and when you were trying to

pull yourself out is the wrong word, like make sense of something.

You kind of also say, I want to commit to living a creative life because that's what Katie loved and wanted to do.

And there's a foundation in her name now that her parents have started to help support women, young women who are going through theatre school or pursuing creative life.

Writing, achieving this feat of writing a beautiful memoir is exactly doing that, right?

It is embodying what you kind of promised yourself and Katie then.

got to regather on this very important, not important at all.

All right.

So the no's led you to some yeses.

Okay.

This, where we're at now, you know, the book, the book is out.

You have, your life has, as you said, you know, moved on.

You've had a baby.

I don't know, moved on sounds terrible.
