I think Ellen kept him sane by showing him so much love and keeping him laughing and dancing and happy he had a purpose and a safe place to go. Not saying his family didn't do that but sometimes it's the one's that God place in your life.

[@natural1863]

Yes indeed 🙏‼️

[@pokey5736]

For sure. Ellen was his comfort zone. You felt it thru the years. The show ending may have left him feeling lost, just saying. Whatever the reason, life was a challenge. Isn't it for most of us in different ways ?
