I guess if you have a friend that has it, just to remind them that they're still beautiful, they're still who they are, and just the way, because they're going through something really hard, and because their face is paralyzed, it doesn't make them any less them, and to encourage them. And if you see improvement, let them know, like, your face is improving, your smile is getting bigger, or you're, I can tell you have more control of your face. Just those kind of things, because for most people, it's only for a short time, and it does pass. And if you're just there for them during that time, and try not to laugh at them. All my brothers and sisters, all my younger brothers and sisters, every single time they would look at me, they would laugh. They thought it was the funniest thing, and I guess they're the younger siblings, so it was okay. And my mom laughed a lot. And it's just to be able to be there for them. I think that's what's most important.
