Ralphie, this is our little nugget. This is our extra. This is our show and tell. And it's something that brings you joy. And you've just whipped this off your neck. Tell me about this necklace. This is a gold Celtic cross that my mother gave me. And I grew up seeing this since a very early age because it was my grandfather's.

And my grandfather, I never, I never, met my grandfather he passed away before I was born but my mother had this cross and she always used to wear it and and she said one day this will be yours son and she used to tell me the stories about it because there's a slight indent on the top of it and she said that is a is a is a mark because it was next to his watch chain on his three-piece suit he always used to wear a three-piece suit and used to have it on his watch chain and it used to rub against the link on his watch. So it indented the cross.

And so it makes me feel connected with my grandfather, even though I never met him. But to have that story, I can always, again, visualization, I can visualize him walking down the street in his suit with that cross swinging against his watch, that sort of thing. And it brings me joy because this will go to my children too, you know. Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing up with him. That's all right. Thank you, Alpha. Thank you. You know,
