It seems like it's a pretty hot topic right now. And it seems like it's kind of always been. And some of the some of the tactics or techniques that people think that they can achieve immortality have not changed, which I find quite amusing.

Yeah, I actually, I think I want to tie everything. Everybody had such great points and I kind of want to tie in a few themes from this episode. What Clarence said earlier on our tombstones, we have The day we were born, a dash, and the day we die. And I think I want to ask readers, what do you want to do with your dash? What do you want to do? Your time is now.

What do you want to do? Your time is now.

And as much as we don't want to think about death, that dash is happening now. And you get to decide what that looks like. You get to decide who is in your life. If someone is making your life a living hell, get them out of it. There is no need. Why waste any of your precious time on people that do not make your dash feel like a good time? So just think about that.

Even if you're even if you're my age, you know, you feel like you have all this time left, but you only have so much time in the body that you're in with the mind that you have. So you might as well use it to the fullest of your extent of what you think is best.

A little more accurate representation of that time. Of life.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. So, Patty, you know, what's super interesting about that is growing. I was born in 1998 and growing up. One of my best friends lived very close to me and we would bike to and from each other's houses. It's just a little bit faster. And I do remember when we first started venturing out a little bit further, our parents sat us down and actually talked about this case and said, well,

There are things that you need to be aware of and things that you need to be vigilant about. And I think it was a really good segue for my parents to both of our parents actually, to sit down with us and just have a general talk about safety. And I think that you and Jacob's story really sparks a lot of necessary conversation for families.

I also want to point out that it sounds like community was crucial for your healing process here. Sounds like community members and just the effort of community coming together. And that's something that's really, I'm passionate about. I study community health promotion. And so it's honestly, it's just really touching to hear that

the community could come together and help you individually, help your family, help other kids feel safe, and figure out how to tackle these problems as a community. I just wanted to note that. I think that's beautiful.
