So it’s easy to go I’ll do it tomorrow, I’ll do it tomorrow, I’ll do it tomorrow. So one day I get a call my sister’s no longer with us. So I’m already down you know from that, and then I get another call, hey man Kobe Bryant just passed away. And all I had to do was pick up the phone and say hey, I miss you, hey I love you, hey what you doing? So after we get off this, don’t go hang with these guys, go in the back room, call your father say Dad I love you.”
