    Thank you George, your Mothers poem is beautiful…..
    I have to live with myself and so
    I want to be fit for myself to know
    I have to sit with the setting sun and not hate myself for things I’ve done. I want to watch as the day’s go by and be able to look the world straight in the eye. 🙏🏼

I started jumping up and down, squealing like a damn teenybopper, alone, just me and my chihuahua who was howling (he sings along when he hears your beautiful voice lol). I have loved George since he started on Much Music back in the day. He's a deep thinker with the intelligence to back it up. I'm so friggen stoked! I paused it at 2:07 so I could say THANK YOU RYAN, YOU ARE THE MAN! I love you and the show Ryan. Please don't ever stop doing what you do. You're a great listener and you don't judge and these days, people like you are an endangered species. 🥰 Love, peace, and chicken grease. Keep. 💖 Now I'm gonna watch it. lol

I recently had a Stroke while working in Hollywood as a Trauma Therapist for the Stunt Community, My older Son flew to California and organized all to bring me home,. As a Single Mom our children have a SUPERMAN ability to do extraordinary achievement. George's success is the result of Her struggle,. Hats Off to you both

    I loved this episode. It's so true that your kids are really soaking up everything in a subconscious way as well as conscious. My 9 year old daughter loves to write letters and cards to people just because. Hanging above my desk is a giant card she made me that says, among other things, "you make me feel love in my heart with your delicious food everyday." It could be that we just started working on emoting and being expressive in our writing (we homeschool), but I like to think she's just that sweet 😂❤️
