Not easy to pronounce. I mean, Roy Barker 02:08 just for our audience's comfort, we will put all that in the show notes as well. So you don't have to try to figure that out all. Terry 02:17 Y'all can figure it out. Well, I'm so happy to have you today. I've been excited to talk to you about We Fade to Green and just your experience your personal experience. Let's start at the at the beginning. I mean, how did you come to where you are today and writing the book? what led up to that? Dr. J 02:42 Well you mentioned a lot of interesting things in the in the in your introduction about your podcast and what it's all about. And I really support you in that i think it's it's so important to share our experiences and not just you know, our experiences through whatever adulthood middle midlife or middle age, but also about growing older and the elderly. And I think that there is a lot to be shared and a lot of a lot to be talked about as well. And you asked me about sort of my background and what brought me to where I am here and now. Well, one of the things that brought me to this and to to my book, since my podcasts etc, is the fact that I'm an only child right? So I'm the only child of immigrant parents so that I think has has always been something that's been very important in my life. It is a it is quite a unique experience right to be the only child and it is of course very important how what happens now so my parents are getting older and how do I can how do I continue being their only child and how do I continue supporting them so that is I guess one of the things that that's that's really special about only children and the fact that all the pressure then is on on them to take care of their parents or or to care for their parents....
