Absolutely. Thank you. My mom passed away last Wednesday. We're going to have her funeral in a few days. And she was the most incredible human I've ever met. She was a teacher for 14 years in Iran. When we escaped the revolution and came to America, she started all over again. We came with $35 and then we had to escape. We started with nothing. And my dad drove a taxi while getting his PhD.
