Not talking about it in the beginning because of that stigma, because of that fear that she had that we all had didn't help anyone. Didn't help me. Didn't help her. Doesn't help the overall cause. And so eventually, you know, as storytellers, we just kind of had to talk about it. I couldn't keep it in any longer. And for better or worse, my mom's disease advanced.

Yeah, just before I turned 25. So really young. Yeah, I was at my college graduation when I was 22 that she repeated. story a couple times throughout that weekend. And because of what I had seen with my grandparents... You knew what it was. I knew. Yeah. But I didn't say anything out loud to anyone for close to, I guess, a year and a half after that.
