The fact is that's what happens when you make content worth subscribing for. 99% of channels are slop asking for subs. You should be recognizing what he did not what he didn't do...
Yea I never understood asking for people to sub, anyone that wants to watch your videos will sub, so I don’t see the point in asking, it’s just wasting time in the video.
There is a very old Japanese artform called Kintsugi. It is based around repairing broken pottery and ceramics. Not covering up the breaks, but using lacquer resin mixed with gold flakes to emphasize the breaks. To make something beautiful from ruin. It is symbolic of life, the impermanence of things and accepting your flaws and past mistakes. No one has lived a perfect life. Everyone has scars, inside and out. But there can be beauty in those scars. There can be wisdom learned from those scars. Those scars are your experiences and experiences make you who you are.
A true wisdom and a reason I deeply respect (although I really don't know much about) the Japanese culture. It feels so deep with every bit of knowledge I receive.
It's all part of letting go. Even when you don't want to. I get it. Grieving not only takes time, it takes patience. You cannot rush it, nor can you force it.
You will hit your next sub threshold in no time at all! You are too level headed, polite, likable and not to mention STYLISH!✨. Congratulations Jerrel. My condolences for your loss. Cancer took my Grandma many years ago. Your story/loss hits close to home for me. I like to believe that Buzz would be proud of and happy for you. Take care and be well.
Hundreds of thousands of Oregonians are fighting to become part of Idaho. My heart goes out to you, and your friends family. I'm sure he's extremely proud of you.
Thank you for sharing your life experience with us. Vulnerability, wisdom, and personal growth is rarely shared. I genuinely appreciate you, the channel, and the way you encourage kindness to everyone. 🙏
Thank you for being here. Life can be tough. It has ups and downs. Hang in there, become as strong as you can keep, and find something to love and care about.
the same thing that happened to an aunt of mine just at the end of the year, since she had cancer, not even a year had passed and it took her away, these are situations that bring deep dismay.
Thanks for sharing. I lost my Dad a few years ago now. I spoke to him on the phone regularly but hadn't seen him in ages because we were just coming to the end of the Pandemic when it happened and he lived overseas, so getting a flight was difficult. I got a message from his wife that he'd had cancer for the better part of a year, which he had kept from me and I should come out and see him. It took me 2 weeks to get a flight because I needed proof of a negative COVID test, vaccines, all that stuff. His wife met me at the airport and told me that he died about 30 minutes before I finished getting through customs. I spent the rest of my time there helping to organise a funeral. For a while after I felt very conflicted about the whole thing, because I was both angry that he never told me about it, but I also that I just wish I got to see him again...
Thanks for sharing that. It is a difficult thing to live with and embers of that anger linger inside of us and probably never fully extinguish. We just need to find a healthy way to process those things and become stronger as a result.
Dont be angry on your old guy. There was nothing to watch, trust me. You always will be remember him how he was not what sicness made him. Im father now and i would do the same for my son. Theres is nothing to watch...
Wow, what an amazing video, your story about the mug is just incredible & has such a wonderful message, every single one of your 100k subs NEEDS to see this video. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful story.
Thank you for sharing a genuine and heartfelt story of your life. Your honesty and sincerity is one reason I enjoy watching your channel. Getting to see homemade musical instruments is also fun since I have recreated historical instruments for no other reason than to see if I could. I look forward to your next projects and would really love to see your games on Steam since I am currently moving away from consoles. :)
Your story really got to me. I can relate to many many parts of it. You are such a good friend of Buzz. Dying is scary, but when a friend holds your hand it is less scary. Thanks for sharing this. Keep your collection growing. Life is an adventure.
I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. A few years ago my best friend passed, unexpectedly. Listening to you talk about trying to understand life after something like that was like hearing my own thoughts. Take care of yourself.
We all have to deal with things like this through life and navigate someway through the storm. I hope the answers you found allowed you to become a stronger person.
I wasn’t expecting that. It takes a lot to share those memories, especially of such a close friend who has shaped your life in such a way. I’m sure people (including myself) will be able to connect to this. Thanks for sharing man. I’m sure he’d be proud of what you’re doing.
I understand you feeling of loss. You can never truly describe what it's like unless you feel it yourself. I'm glad you've re-found yourself and can see what being human is.
It's awesome that he had people to share his life with and to send him off. No one can hope for more, because there isn't more. Everything else is inconsequential.
One moment that will always stick with me, a moment I can vividly recall and will be able too for the rest of my life, was when I learned about my Grandmother's passing. I had just gotten home from school, and the entire walk home I was thinking "Man I haven't seen my Grandma in awhile, I should ask my mom if we can go see her this weekend!" Both of my brothers also wanted to go see her and my mom was also thinking about going to see her, though I only found that out later. When I got home it was dead silent in the house, and my brother was sitting on the edge of his bed looking like he'd just lost his closest friend or something. He wouldn't respond to me so I went to my mom's room and that's where I learned that my Grandma had passed away in her sleep to a seizure. I spent the next hour crying in the shower, and even to this day there are times when I just start crying when I think about her. This was just a few days after Mother's Day, and it's a day I'll never forget for as long as I live.
Thanks for sharing that. Sometimes life just ends, taking everything away from us. We need to keep that in mind so we understand why it is so important to focus on the beautiful, positive things in life.
@@sungrandstudios You're one of the shining lights on UA-cam, making great videos that you want to make and I wish and hope for nothing but the best for you!
Memorable days: several - Army days, sailing days, family days, even work days. Perfect moments: 4. A mountain in Wales, sailing Belgium, software development, reading to my daughter.
Thanks for everything you do Jerrel. There was a lot of wisdom in that short talk. Our mentors live on in us, through what they taught us and what we carry from their time with us. That's something I learned when my grandfather passed.
I'm sure he'd be proud of you. What a show of will and love to put that coaster back together. That must have been so frustrating when it was nothing but pieces.
Thanks for sharing man, I figured when you said it wasn't a happy story the collection came from loss. As for the philosophy you spoke of Brandon Sanderson's books put it best for me. All people are born, all people will die, these are gaurantees. The choices we make and the experiences we have along the journey matter more than the destination. Remember to Live before you die.
Thank you for sharing. It reminded me that everyone has breaks in their lives, but that with effort those breaks can be repaired. Makes me want to be a better person.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Jerrel. I am so glad that you found your own way or should I say mug. I can't thank you enough for you being you. I also found my mug only a few years ago. You said it very well. That is also my way and I have always glue in my backpocket for other poeple. I picked up my pieces and glued them together and now I can help other poeple with glueing together their pieces. We need to help each other out some time and I love it to bring smiles to other poeple. Honestly, if I bring a smile on a total stranger it makes my day. A little funny interaction and some laughter. It is the best and maybe it makes the day of this person a little bit better. Thank you so, so much Jerrel! Stay strong and keep going. Sorry for my wonky english. It is not my native tounge, but I hope everyone how reads this understands it.
this is the kind of content you tube needs more of. As Buzz infulenced you , now you are doing the same with the next generation. i originally found this channel during the concord essays but have struck around because of the positive attitude and sage advice you share.
Thank you Sir for sharing, you bring hope like a shining star. Beautiful story that hit hard, really hard. We sre sitting in the hospital watching over my mother in law thats been diagnosed with cancer and its been mere months weere we are now and your story made it a little more bearable and positive for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I think it is an honor for everyone that knows you to have you in their life. Never stop Sir, never stop! Tommy
Wow what a way to celebrate 100K. You definitely bern putting in the work to grow your channel and it's paying off. I really kove that wolf mug and the message behind it. Wishing you continued success and blessings man 🥳🙏🏼
3:08 I have a variant of that. I struggle to remember dates and times, but i have a vivid memory of jokes and circumstances between myself and someone whom i used to consider a very close friend. Without getting too into it, at some point, something changed, and now the friendship has completely disappeared. It's nothing compared to what you're sharing, but it's the first thing that came to mind. Congratulations on 100k.
Thats a really lovely and heartwarming story. What I learned from the rough patches in my own past is that I can decide what matters to me and what not. Realizing that massively helped me.
I'm not crying... You're crying. Jerrel - Thank you SO SO much for sharing this piece of yourself and your life. Sincerely. It takes a lot of to go through life and learn to live with grief and become a better person because of it. Thank you
Life is short. Enjoy the time you have with the people you love. I just recently lost my father. It was surprising, out of nowhere. He had beat cancer and multiple strokes and he seemed indestructible to me. I thought we had years together still. One week before I was going to make a trip to go help him with a few things to get ready for the winter I got a call from one of his neighbors, a lady he used to work with. As soon as I seen her name on my caller ID my heart dropped and I knew something was wrong before she even said anything. But I think about things differently now. I try to make more time with people and not tell my kids maybe later when they're asking me to play fortnite or go to the park. It's all those little things that they'll remember. And now I'm tearing up. Thanks for sharing man.
Congratulations man! You came out of no where on my feed and stood out in contrast to the oversaturated space of reaction streamers and controversy vultures with unparalleled professionalism and precise speech. Keep up the great work! Also, your story about not getting one last pool game with Buzz hit me close to home. My dad died of cancer last year. I don't live in the area anymore, so I would fly back to visit, and the second to last time I went to visit, I realized that I spent so much time helping him with stuff at the house, and even visiting old friends from the area, that I forgot to play pool with my dad on his new pool table. I thought I would do so when I came back for Christmas. It turned out I had to return before Christmas, because he took a turn for the worst as his last treatment failed and he was put into hospice. By the time I flew back, he was bedridden, and was even losing his ability to speak. I always think about how I didn't play pool with my dad one last time when I could have.
Thanks for sharing that. It seems we have something in comment. That anger stuck with me for years. It's only in the past few months I was able to start going out to play pool again and not feel angry. These things take time to process. We need to find a way to get stronger so we can live with these experiences in a healthy way.
Wow...that's beautiful... never knew the truth behind the start of Silver falls, i know it's been years but sorry for your loss, I'd like to think he's still smiling down at you from the afterlife
My Watch Later playlist was getting really big, and I initially considered skipping this video. I'm so glad I didn't. Thanks for your wise and genuine words, and congratulations on 100k.
I don't know where your channel is headed or how it may change, but I'm glad I found your channel when I did. Every time I click on your videos, I know I'll be treated to some sitting room humor and conversation, albeit rather one sided. It feels genuine and in good spirit. Thanks, my guy. I wish you all the best.
Watching this was deeply moving for myself and thank you for sharing your story. You have deep wisdom to share and I hope you continue doing so. As we all get up there in age (50+ now personally) it's very true we all have cracks that people cannot see them, kindness is something we should all strive towards.
It's good to hear from you. Thank you for listening. Even if it is difficult and doesn't feel worth it, let's show kindness, patience, and understanding to other people
This is much better storytelling than what far too many devs from the west have produced the last several years. Thanks for sharing your story. We all have to face difficulties and loss at some point and there is no right or wrong I think. The "only wrong" would be perhaps to completely break down and never recover from that.
What a heartfelt story. At the end you are who you are for your own traits, history, surroundings, circumstances and the people you cross paths with. He sounded pivotal. I drink a sip of coffee in his memory. Cheers.
Thank you for sharing this story, Jerrel. The most insightful part for me was your reaction when the coaster got broken. I think I would have fixed it, too, but not with meticulous precision as you did. I'd rather have taken the event as a signal to let go of the past. See, I'm believing personal tragedies happen to move us foreward. Every life has it's purpose, you know. And we can't tell it until we have learned our lesson from it. God bless.
Huh, I figured the story behind the mugs was something along those lines. Thanks for sharing it. I've experienced something quite similar. However, that close friend of mine ended up passing away way too early in his life. There was still too much to do, too much to see, too much he should've experienced himself. So instead of remembering him on his day of passing, I made it a habit to do so on his birthday. Because I'm thankful for him being being born in the first place, being a part of my life, and also how he influenced it.
congrats for the 100k. It's amazing that a multi-award winning game like concord made many of us discover this channel and the incredible person behind it.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us Jerrel. When you started talking about the broken coaster, I broke down in tears because it was like you were talking about MY story and journey in dealing with my Rheumatoid Arthritis over the last few years. You are absolutely right that we are all broken in some way, and I agree with you thats its so important to put ourselves back together as best we can and move forwards. Thank you for the video, I appreciated being able to relate with you.
@Sungrand Studios the story about how the coaster broke and your attempt to fix it reminded me of a time when someone citet words from Loanard Cohen: Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in If you read this, I hope you see why I find these words fitting. Going through a rough time myself currently, your story (and the reminding of those words) helped me through another day. Thank you for that!
Coeur d'Alene.... Is one of my favorite places. I love Capone's, Pilgrim's Market, the lake, the people, how it isn't Spokane... I was just thinking about it the other day, and how I need to go again. Wild that you share such a connection with it.... I have ridden the moose in the park.
@@sungrandstudios you're more than welcome luv, also, send me your address in private, I wanna send you a mug from over here in Greece, for your collection. No charges, no innuendos, just a gift, nothing more nothing less.
Thanks for sharing your story... For completely unrelated reasons CDA has a special place in my heart but I'll think of this story every time I visit or think about it. Cheers
Unfortunately, many times, those days that you remember so crystal clear, it's because something bad has happened. But there's also those other times... those are the ones to hold on. Cheers!
This was a lovely, touching video. Thank you for sharing one of your stories. I fully understand the burden of loss of important people in life and the process of finding yourself and your way when they have gone.
If I could like this video more then once I would. A lot of what you talked about hit home with me and reminded me of things in my life I had forgot. Another great video.
That was a more well broken down description of your philosophy than I've heard from many who make it their profession. Well done. May you find new hope.
Thank you for sharing that story, and thank you for sharing a bit of yourself. I feel like you found one of those broken pieces and you were able to put it back inside.
Bro has a main characters origin story, I feel like a npc being talked to for the first time. Thanks for sharing your story. I think I'll start making stories of my own.
Didn't expect the mug-lore to be so deep and somewhat dark. Thanks for sharing. Glad you made it so far, on your journey, even so far that you can share it with many of us. And yes, we are all broken. But there is also hope, for all of us.
The fact that you reached over 100k without even asking for subs says a lot. Grats again.
Thank you.
I almost think it helped him.
The fact is that's what happens when you make content worth subscribing for. 99% of channels are slop asking for subs. You should be recognizing what he did not what he didn't do...
Yea I never understood asking for people to sub, anyone that wants to watch your videos will sub, so I don’t see the point in asking, it’s just wasting time in the video.
genuine appeal >>> begging.
the custom coffin is a beautiful fare-well.
It helped us process things a bit.
There is a very old Japanese artform called Kintsugi. It is based around repairing broken pottery and ceramics. Not covering up the breaks, but using lacquer resin mixed with gold flakes to emphasize the breaks. To make something beautiful from ruin.
It is symbolic of life, the impermanence of things and accepting your flaws and past mistakes. No one has lived a perfect life. Everyone has scars, inside and out. But there can be beauty in those scars. There can be wisdom learned from those scars. Those scars are your experiences and experiences make you who you are.
That's beautiful.
A true wisdom and a reason I deeply respect (although I really don't know much about) the Japanese culture. It feels so deep with every bit of knowledge I receive.
Thank you for showing me this artform, I love the symbolism and want some pieces.
If anyone here plays Elden Ring, the artform is scattered throughout the game. It's even in some enemy designs. It's so awesome.
There is a lovely book called Art and Faith that talks about Kintsugi and how the breaks makes the pottery more beautiful.

The story behind the mug will now forever be in my thoughts. Thank you again for sharing. Safe Journeys !
Thank you for being here and sharing the journey with me. Let's go fishing this week! Hope you are well. Safe journeys to you too.
I've never clicked on a video so fast! Men like you are why I haven't given up on humanity.
It's all part of letting go. Even when you don't want to. I get it. Grieving not only takes time, it takes patience. You cannot rush it, nor can you force it.
You will hit your next sub threshold in no time at all! You are too level headed, polite, likable and not to mention STYLISH!✨. Congratulations Jerrel. My condolences for your loss. Cancer took my Grandma many years ago. Your story/loss hits close to home for me. I like to believe that Buzz would be proud of and happy for you. Take care and be well.

This was a good story, I'm glad I subscribed to you a while back. I knew the vibe I got from you was a genuine vibe.
Thanks for being here, hanging out, and listening. Now let's enjoy some relaxing fishing this week.
You are such a good person. I'm so glad I've found this channel.
Thanks for watching.
Been subscribed to you since long before you got to 100k, and have enjoyed what you are putting out! I genuinely hope you life is blessed.
I really appreciate that. Thank you for being here and hanging out. Now let's enjoy a relaxing vibe and go fishing this week.
Thanks for having me.
Thank you so much. Let's go fishing this week.
You are just a valuable person. And you need to share you with the world. We need a blueprint. You are just that.Thank you for this❤
Thank you for listening and being here. I will do my best.
Life is short. Enjoy the time you have with the people you love. I just recently lost my father. It was surprising, out of nowhere. He had beat cancer and multiple strokes and he seemed indestructible to me. I thought we had years together still. One week before I was going to make a trip to go help him with a few things to get ready for the winter I got a call from one of his neighbors, a lady he used to work with. As soon as I seen her name on my caller ID my heart dropped and I knew something was wrong before she even said anything. But I think about things differently now. I try to make more time with people and not tell my kids maybe later when they're asking me to play fortnite or go to the park. It's all those little things that they'll remember. And now I'm tearing up. Thanks for sharing man.
Congratulations man! You came out of no where on my feed and stood out in contrast to the oversaturated space of reaction streamers and controversy vultures with unparalleled professionalism and precise speech. Keep up the great work!
Also, your story about not getting one last pool game with Buzz hit me close to home. My dad died of cancer last year. I don't live in the area anymore, so I would fly back to visit, and the second to last time I went to visit, I realized that I spent so much time helping him with stuff at the house, and even visiting old friends from the area, that I forgot to play pool with my dad on his new pool table. I thought I would do so when I came back for Christmas. It turned out I had to return before Christmas, because he took a turn for the worst as his last treatment failed and he was put into hospice. By the time I flew back, he was bedridden, and was even losing his ability to speak. I always think about how I didn't play pool with my dad one last time when I could have.
Thanks for sharing that. It seems we have something in comment. That anger stuck with me for years. It's only in the past few months I was able to start going out to play pool again and not feel angry. These things take time to process. We need to find a way to get stronger so we can live with these experiences in a healthy way.
i normally dont like videos cus im lazy, but your aura somehow pulls my cursor to the like button
I really appreciate that. What a great compliment. Thank you.
Wow...that's beautiful... never knew the truth behind the start of Silver falls, i know it's been years but sorry for your loss, I'd like to think he's still smiling down at you from the afterlife
Thanks for sharing this Jarrel, lost my dad to cancer about a year ago to this day. Hearing someone else express their struggles really helps.
My Watch Later playlist was getting really big, and I initially considered skipping this video. I'm so glad I didn't. Thanks for your wise and genuine words, and congratulations on 100k.
I was cutting onions, I swear.
Thank you for sharing your story, and congrats on the 100k
Me too. Me too.
I don't know where your channel is headed or how it may change, but I'm glad I found your channel when I did. Every time I click on your videos, I know I'll be treated to some sitting room humor and conversation, albeit rather one sided. It feels genuine and in good spirit. Thanks, my guy. I wish you all the best.
I really appreciate that. Thanks for being here. I'll keep looking for ways to have fun here at the channel and do my best.
Watching this was deeply moving for myself and thank you for sharing your story. You have deep wisdom to share and I hope you continue doing so. As we all get up there in age (50+ now personally) it's very true we all have cracks that people cannot see them, kindness is something we should all strive towards.
It's good to hear from you. Thank you for listening. Even if it is difficult and doesn't feel worth it, let's show kindness, patience, and understanding to other people
Thanks for sharing the story behind the mugs collection Jerrel.👍
This is much better storytelling than what far too many devs from the west have produced the last several years.
Thanks for sharing your story. We all have to face difficulties and loss at some point and there is no right or wrong I think. The "only wrong" would be perhaps to completely break down and never recover from that.
What a heartfelt story. At the end you are who you are for your own traits, history, surroundings, circumstances and the people you cross paths with. He sounded pivotal. I drink a sip of coffee in his memory. Cheers.
I couldn't help but think of to re-watch the anime "Frieren" again. Life is short
People like you give me hope that the internet has life being breathed into it still to this day
Thank you for sharing this story, Jerrel. The most insightful part for me was your reaction when the coaster got broken. I think I would have fixed it, too, but not with meticulous precision as you did. I'd rather have taken the event as a signal to let go of the past. See, I'm believing personal tragedies happen to move us foreward. Every life has it's purpose, you know. And we can't tell it until we have learned our lesson from it. God bless.
My impression grew from "This guy has a huge collection of unique-shaped mugs." to "This man has so many stories he can beautifully tell."
Congrats on 100K, and thank you for sharing your story with the mugs. Sad for your loss, but Buzz sounded like an incredible man in life.
Huh, I figured the story behind the mugs was something along those lines. Thanks for sharing it.
I've experienced something quite similar. However, that close friend of mine ended up passing away way too early in his life. There was still too much to do, too much to see, too much he should've experienced himself. So instead of remembering him on his day of passing, I made it a habit to do so on his birthday. Because I'm thankful for him being being born in the first place, being a part of my life, and also how he influenced it.
congrats for the 100k. It's amazing that a multi-award winning game like concord made many of us discover this channel and the incredible person behind it.
Thank you. I'm glad you are here. Let's relax and go fishing this week.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us Jerrel. When you started talking about the broken coaster, I broke down in tears because it was like you were talking about MY story and journey in dealing with my Rheumatoid Arthritis over the last few years. You are absolutely right that we are all broken in some way, and I agree with you thats its so important to put ourselves back together as best we can and move forwards. Thank you for the video, I appreciated being able to relate with you.
Congrats for the 100K and thank you for sharing. Buzz sounded like an amazing person 🙏🏼
@Sungrand Studios the story about how the coaster broke and your attempt to fix it reminded me of a time when someone citet words from Loanard Cohen:
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
If you read this, I hope you see why I find these words fitting. Going through a rough time myself currently, your story (and the reminding of those words) helped me through another day.
Thank you for that!
Those are beautiful lyrics. Thanks for sharing that.
Your way of drawing positives from negative experiences is both admirable and encouraging. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for inviting us into your living room and telling us this story.
Coeur d'Alene.... Is one of my favorite places. I love Capone's, Pilgrim's Market, the lake, the people, how it isn't Spokane... I was just thinking about it the other day, and how I need to go again. Wild that you share such a connection with it.... I have ridden the moose in the park.
I'm sorry for your loss! I know it was hard for you to share that. But that helps us all understand you better and wish you nothing but love.
This video should be required viewing for everyone. Thank you for your insights!
15:17 I'm glad you found your way back to us. ❤
Thanks for being here.
@@sungrandstudios you're more than welcome luv, also, send me your address in private, I wanna send you a mug from over here in Greece, for your collection. No charges, no innuendos, just a gift, nothing more nothing less.
Thanks for sharing your story... For completely unrelated reasons CDA has a special place in my heart but I'll think of this story every time I visit or think about it. Cheers
Unfortunately, many times, those days that you remember so crystal clear, it's because something bad has happened.
But there's also those other times... those are the ones to hold on.
Cheers!
This was a lovely, touching video. Thank you for sharing one of your stories. I fully understand the burden of loss of important people in life and the process of finding yourself and your way when they have gone.
If I could like this video more then once I would. A lot of what you talked about hit home with me and reminded me of things in my life I had forgot. Another great video.
Thanks for being here.
That was a more well broken down description of your philosophy than I've heard from many who make it their profession. Well done. May you find new hope.
Thank you for sharing that story, and thank you for sharing a bit of yourself. I feel like you found one of those broken pieces and you were able to put it back inside.
congrats, man... earned it!
Bro has a main characters origin story, I feel like a npc being talked to for the first time.
Thanks for sharing your story. I think I'll start making stories of my own.
Watching this just re-confirms why i subbed in the first place. Thanks for the story, it was genuinely beautiful
Didn't expect the mug-lore to be so deep and somewhat dark. Thanks for sharing. Glad you made it so far, on your journey, even so far that you can share it with many of us. And yes, we are all broken. But there is also hope, for all of us.
Thanks for sharing. The loss of loved ones can be an anchor or wings depending on that person. You turned it into wings and grew.
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 congratulation for the 100k 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hey man. This story hit me hard. I'm really sorry. Buzz sounds like he was amazing
I get it. Don't ever change and thank you for talking about what really matters - those around us _for now_. Sending you virtual love and hugs
thank you for sharing your journey with us Jerrel
