I told Anna when she was

um alive i said you know i don't know that she she didn't make it around to see this day i said you think now i'm fighting you and you think this is bad but anna you know how this feels you've been on this other side you you didn't really have a relationship with your dad you will appreciate one day that i fought to be a part of my daughter's life and i didn't just walk away

And I think most people run from obligations.

People thought I was running towards one for a payday.

You know, and my daughter still to this day, she never got any of the money.

Her mom's, the money that she was fighting for, the oil man's money, she never got one cent of it.

You know, I didn't drop her off at somebody's doorstep and say, oh shit, you know, there's no money.

But out of the fake headlines, the $88 million baby, you know, all this stuff that created security risk for us over the years and different things that made us maneuver different and led to a different lifestyle than my brother had with his kids.

So we go places at different times or you have to get security or you have.

you know, call the police because you got some kind of crazy letter request.

So it's been a challenge to maneuver and to do things, but I think we've made the go of it.

And I think we've, you know, done a good job.

And I think I'm most proud of the fact that my daughter has been resilient and been brave and proud to like,

you know, face, you know, unwanted criticism, unneeded, and to also put on a smile and say, this is who my mom was, you know, and, you know, and remind me every day how chopped I look and how bad I, you know, and what I, you know, crazy dad I am.

So I, you know, at the end of the day, I think if I did one thing right, I think that I'm proud of her.

That's the thing.

There's so much like people don't understand.

Like I try to explain to them and when they think they know the real story, it's like, you don't, we, we've sent here for four hours and you like a fraction of it.

There's things in the works.

There's a lot of different projects.
