Follow your own path and let the people talk.

Go, dad!

This is the kind of thing.

He's dead, but that attitude is not.

living sentient perhaps uh being i think it uh mainly do two things uh one of them just going through all their stuff after they had passed away and so on just drove home to me how important it is to ask ourselves why are we doing this things we do because it's inevitable that you look at some things they spent an enormous time on and you ask the

in hindsight, would they really have spent so much time on this or would they have done something that was more meaningful?

So I've been looking more in my life now and asking, you know, why am I doing what I'm doing?

And I feel it should either be something I really enjoy doing, or it should be something that I find really, really meaningful because it helps humanity.

And

It's none of those two categories.

Maybe I should spend less time on it.

You know, the other thing is dealing with death up in personal like this.

It's actually made me less afraid of, of, um, even less afraid of other people telling me that I'm an idiot, you know, which happens regularly and just live my life, do my thing, you know?

Um, and, um,

It's made it a little bit easier for me to focus on what I feel is really important.

Yeah, it's made it extremely real.

I'm next in line in our family now, right?

It's me and my younger brother.

They both handled it with such dignity.

That was a true inspiration also.
