I used to watch your videos before my wife passed away, July 7, 2025. Now your videos give me comfort as I remember my wife sitting at her desk while I watched your videos.

The fact that you don't want to kill a bunch of greenery for the sake of a video just makes me respect and appreciate you that much more.
