@badmews@falloutboy Hope to still see him around this era but I'd definitely rather Joe take however long he needs to recover so this world doesn't lose him completely. Wonderful time to be alive and see people taking care of themselves when they need to. I hope I can follow in his example with this@falloutboy Hope to still see him around this era but I'd definitely rather Joe take however long he needs to recover so this world doesn't lose him completely.
