We'd love to hear from you.

Molly, it's nice to have you back this week.

Yeah, we had planned for me not to be on last week because I was taping the recording the audio

book for my book, Alito, which is coming out in April. And in the meantime, also my beloved father

died. And I've talked about my dad a lot on the podcast. He's this larger than life figure and very dear to everyone in my family, my large extended

family.

We had a beautiful funeral.

It was just awesome, overflowing at my parents' church.

My dad's a pastor. So there were like 20 clergy that came from

nearby churches to honor my father and were part of the processional. We had great hymns. It was just a

really beautiful service, and people came from all over like my my parents have several godchildren and

two of their godchildren came and one of them drove up from Arizona he said he keeps up with

the family on the podcast so I was like oh I have to I have to make sure I'm keeping him updated

but it was just great and uh yeah I mean I have to make sure I'm keeping him updated.

But it was just great.

And yeah, I mean, I will say that my cousin Kimberly, her dad died in late July.

And my brother and I were talking to her and we were like, we had no idea what you were going through.

Like we were there at the funeral, we offered condolences, but we just had no idea. And then I keep thinking like, oh my gosh, if it hurts this bad when your dad dies, what

happens when a spouse dies?
