I have to say that and I think I speak for everyone that uh that my heart goes out to you and your family for what you've gone through the last two years uh I just can't imagine what what that has been like and and uh and how you've pulled through so I want to say that's so kind of you that's so sweet and it it's been a rough time it really has you have absolutely no idea I mean Michael is one of the most loved people in the world yes and thank you so yeah and
so you were I I mean what what a shock I mean we were just talking to Christian and this rumor comes up and he's calling his kids saying I'm okay and to to get a call like that how did you where were you when you got that call I was at home and my father called me and he told me because I live about two I was living two or three minutes away from Michael and he said you got to get over to his house that's what he told me and he said um they said
