Is it a nice visit? Long overdue. Maybe we can do a couple of weeks. Three months was a little

bit extreme for me. So I talked her out of it. I pushed it down the road and I was like

perfect. We'll set up a time where I can just go hang out with her for a week or something.

Okay. So you're negotiating now. She's coming in at three months, you're coming in at three

days. She's not negotiating. She's stalling. Yeah. She's stalling. Basically. Then fast forward.

Unfortunately, she had a emergency, a health scare, basically, and she had to have an emergency

surgery. I didn't find out until the next day. Then my mom, my mom, we're trying to be

when I found out what had my mom, I was thinking the words. I was upset. I was like, I need

my mom. I want to see her. Make sure she's good and stuff. So I thought, okay. Well,

maybe it's time to see her. It's not, I'm going to stall this anymore because time is precious.
