I was always the type of guy that when I was younger, I wanted a lot of children. I wanted at least ten. I didn't end up with that. But now I've been blessed to have three, two girls and a boy. My son who lives with me now, my oldest daughter, who lives in California. And now my second oldest daughter. And I just want to say sent a shout out to Kia Kia Renee Shelley. That's my daughter

And my mom is close to 80 years of age, so I know it's happening, but I'm curious if you don't mind sharing, how did you guys find each other? How did this happen? I'd really love to know, but, man, Congratulations. That had to be pretty heavy. And I'm glad you're proud. And Congratulations. That's great news

So she just put two and two together, contacted my brother, and he contacted me. It was a bit nerve wracking because I get up in the morning. I see I missed a call from my brother at 144 in the morning. So I'm thinking it has something to do with my mom because she's in hospital right now. And Besides, who calls you one? Your family calls you that late unless it's something bad

Ditto to what Phil said. Thanks for sharing. Sorry about your mom and hope that she ends her life with peace and dignity. Kudos to Swell the founders of Swell for building a community so that we can share thoughts
Oh, my God, this is crazy. Mto. I've been missing your presence over the last few days, and I was beginning to think, God, I hope he's okay. I hope he's doing doing something good right now, at least. And wow, that's that is not what I expected. I have to say, but I'm sure it's not what you expected either, but what a positive sort of turn of events. She sounds like a tremendous person

Thanks, everybody, for welcoming me back, Mr. Kelly, Ms. Robin, Missy Bowie, all of you. You know, I appreciate the well wishes and everything a little surreal for me right now still, but I'm just going through the process of getting to know my daughter and bonding with her. So thanks again, everybody. Bye. Your boy is back

Now I'm sitting here in a room in Benito Beach, Florida, going to go try to find some sun. But like you, I, too, will return to Swell as soon as I'm done my traveling and drinking, getting and all the stupid things I do. But Congratulations again. That's really cool. And I'll be talking to you soon

Yeah, it's been a whirlwind month, to say the least, but thanks, Joe, for the well wishes. I did notice. I haven't been catching any. Good morning, Joe's, but I know you'll be back. I know you're doing your thing, but thanks again, bro. Just be safe out there, man
