00:00 Where did you just go?
00:03 Sorry. Just...
00:09 Sometimes my face reminds me so much of my dad's.
00:14 Do you want to talk about them? Is there anything you can remember about them that makes you feel good?
00:20 I'd rather not. They aren't dead.
00:23 Fine. Suit yourself, dissociation station.
00:29 I have a lot of glitter to organize.
00:32 I used to go to work with my mom.
00:42 She'd always wear animal scrubs because she's a nurse.
00:47 And in the summer she would bring me along a few days a week, let me help out shredding stuff.
00:57 And we'd visit the older patients and try to cheer them up.
01:01 That was my favorite part.
01:05 And on Friday nights we'd have movie night, watching Westerns way too loud.
01:14 Dad and me, we'd try to throw popcorn in each other's mouths.
01:23 And I used to help my mom in the garden.
01:27 And I'd get all sunburned and she'd cover me in aloe.
01:33 I miss them.
01:52 I know I shouldn't.
01:54 It's okay to miss them. They're your parents.
01:57 I just don't understand how being their kid isn't enough for them.
02:02 (gentle music)
