    Thank you George, your Mothers poem is beautiful…..
    I have to live with myself and so
    I want to be fit for myself to know
    I have to sit with the setting sun and not hate myself for things I’ve done. I want to watch as the day’s go by and be able to look the world straight in the eye. 🙏🏼

Hanging above my desk is a giant card she made me that says, among other things, "you make me feel love in my heart with your delicious food everyday."

    I'm sorry I see the love that everyone has for this guy and the episode and I really thought there were good parts not towards the end, but every time he would tell a story it would be done in like 1 minute. Like what happened to the girl in Pakistan that you didn't know, but knew you. Did you guys talk, hang out, figure out how she knew you. It was every story like I did this and that, I did a stint, I could've easily went a wrong path, but never any insight of what all of that was. It all came back to the moon for the first 40 minutes and other people who were great influences in his life. Don't get me wrong he's mom is a real OG and wish we had more people like her, but this is the honeydew you let the shit out here my guy.
