It's really tough, Patty. That's the real answer. My dad and our family, excuse me, my dad is to this day and remains the center of our family, not just because of who he is as the public person, but completely because of who he is to each one of us. down to his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren, his great-grandchild. He is our rock. He has been there for each one of us in a way that is hard for me to even possibly articulate and explain. Whatever you think about his politics or the decisions that he made, I can tell you this, you this he's the best father the best husband the best grandfather of anyone that I've ever read about heard about or even seen in a movie he is and so it's really hard Patty it's really hard cancer is really hard and it's just like addiction I said I was talking to somebody yesterday and they and I was talking about my dad and they told me their whole story and about how both both their mother and their father have been just recently diagnosed with cancer And it this realization that as a Biden and having to live all of this out in public that I had which is this is we are not alone in our pain We are not alone in our grief. Is that everyone has someone in their family that has cancer. So my answer is the same as yours. It's really, really hard. And it's really sad to watch. And it's really the only thing that I say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more because it's not good. The cancer has spread, has metastasized into his bones and further. It's very painful. And it's very debilitating in many respects. But he's still out there. He's still doing his thing that he so believes in this country. so believes in the exact opposite of, I know you didn't mean it negatively, is that we are as polarized as we think we are. And you know why he thinks that? It's because when he ran in 2020, 81 million people, more people than have ever voted for another person for president in the history of this country, came out and decided that they were going to return things to normalcy. Well, we've got to get back in the fight again. And as long as he's alive, I promise you he's going to continue to fight. Thank you.
