I emailed you Christmas when you were with me. We were seeing those kids. And it broke my heart, because at this point, they're my kids. I know. And I love them. And imagine leaving your kids. Now they're, you know, they were in an orphanage. That was. It was good. You know, it wasn't. They weren't selling them. But it's still an orphanage in Haiti. Right. And. And I remember flying away every time, just thinking, are they okay? Like, God, please take care of them. I don't know if they really have food, if they really, you know. You don't know what they're telling you. And while we were there, something happened that I didn't tell you about until six months later, but I watched you. He walked away with the director of the orphanage. And I snuck. You didn't know this, but I snuck around the other side. What's 20 minutes later? You know, I was curious. I probably shouldn't have done it, but I just. My spice side. So I'm on the other side of the wall, listening and falling to pieces because you said to her, what does it cost to run this place? And she gave me the amount for the year. And you said, I'm gonna fund this in two years. And I knew. I didn't know those were your kids at the time. What I was doing for me was my kids are gonna be okay. I'll have them in two years at least. So I know they're good until I know. And I couldn't even talk to you about it because I didn't know. I didn't know till this moment. That's beautiful. Goods all day. So you. You. What you did for me and my wife in that moment, it took me six months to even be able to tell you that. Yeah. I didn't get the connection. I knew that, you know, explored the center, but I didn't realize we met so many kids. I didn't realize at that point that those are the ones you were going to adopt. Yeah, I think my kids were climbing on your head. They're climbing Mount Tony. They're going to blow.
