00:00The day has finally come, my treatment is over, and I get to go home.
00:11But now that it's here, it just doesn't feel right without Harry and Lucy around to say goodbye.
00:19Alright, here is your health planner booklet.
00:23You've got a detailed record of all the treatments and complications Jenny had.
00:27And here is the schedule for follow-up appointments.
00:32Don't lose this, huh?
00:34We won't.
00:37Now, Jenny, keep this in mind. Your immune system is very weak.
00:43I need you to avoid large group gatherings as much as possible.
00:47But what about my graduation? It's happening next week.
00:51Yeah, that might be too risky. I'm really sorry.
00:55Whatever. Doesn't matter. I'll watch it online like I watched everything else.
01:04They think I melt under acid rain, but I'm still standing despite the pain.
01:08They want me to cease, but my heart still beats. Can't make me leave, I just started.
01:13Okay, it's time. Go on, ring the bell.
01:20I'll miss you. I'll miss you too.
01:26I'll miss you. I'll miss you too.
01:31Thank you so much for coming today.
01:33It's okay.
01:35I know.
01:36I know.
01:37I know.
01:38I know.
01:39I know.
01:40I know.
01:41I know.
01:42I know.
01:43I know.
01:44I know.
01:45I know.
01:46Good luck, Carnell.
01:48Thank you so much for being there for us.
01:51And we won't forget you.
01:54Okay.
01:55Time to go.
01:56Who cares if I miss Grad?
02:09What is there to celebrate anyway if Lucy's gone?
02:15Hey, Jenny! Happy graduation day!
02:42Goodbye, grade school. Hello, high school.
02:48Yeah, right.
02:50How can it be happy if I'm not even going to be there in person?
02:53Well, I was thinking maybe you could get dressed up for when we watch the ceremony online.
02:59Okay, no shade, Tita Judith.
03:02But that's just more depressing.
03:04That's like getting dressed up for a birthday party you're not even invited to.
03:09Yeah, I get it.
03:12But you know what?
03:13You still have lots to celebrate.
03:16You survived.
03:18But...
03:20Lucy...
03:21I know.
03:23I'm so sorry, Jenny.
03:29Anyway...
03:31Sorry to be like this.
03:33I just...
03:34I want to be alone.
03:37I understand, Anak.
03:40Just know that as hard as things are, your mom, if she was still alive, would want you to be happy today.
03:49Okay?
03:50Sorry.
03:51Mom.
03:52What are you laughing about?
03:53It's not funny.
03:54It's just you're so...
03:55What do kids call it nowadays?
03:56Emo.
03:57Not you too, Mom.
03:58Please don't try to force me to act all happy.
03:59I'm not forcing you to do anything.
04:00Okay?
04:01Sorry.
04:02Sorry.
04:03Mom.
04:04What are you laughing about?
04:05It's not funny.
04:06It's just you're so...
04:07What do kids call it nowadays?
04:10Emo.
04:11Emo.
04:12Not you too, Mom.
04:14Please don't try to force me to act all happy.
04:17I'm not forcing you to do anything.
04:20I know Tita Judith means well, but FYI, I'm not expecting you to be happy, okay?
04:26I mean, look at you.
04:29You lost me.
04:30You lost more than a month of school during what is supposed to be the most important time in your life.
04:35You lost a good friend.
04:37I get it.
04:38You've had it rough.
04:39That's exactly how I feel.
04:41Maybe you should just give up.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Keep it all up.
04:45Who cares?
04:46No wonder you can't get out of bed.
04:47I can barely move.
04:48Maybe you should just camp out on this bed.
04:50Forever.
04:51Yeah.
04:54Wait.
04:55Did you just pull some reverse psychology on me?
04:59Well, what can I say?
05:01I'm still your mommy.
05:02I still got it.
05:04So what do you think?
05:09Maybe you should get out there in the real world before you miss even more time?
05:16I mean, if I had the choice, I'd be wearing this dress again and be dancing the night away.
05:25Okay, fine.
05:26I'll go.
05:27But, Mom, I have nothing to wear.
05:32What do you think?
05:33Wow, Anak.
05:34You look so beautiful.
05:35For reals?
05:36Oh, yes.
05:37If your mommy was here right now, she'd tell you how proud she is of you.
05:39I know.
05:40Woah, who's that?
05:41Why don't you go to the door and-
05:42Why don't you-
05:43Why don't you go to the door and-
05:46What do you think?
05:49I think this-
05:50What do you think?
05:51Wow.
05:52Wow.
05:53Anak.
05:54You look so beautiful.
05:55For reals?
05:56Oh, yes.
05:57If your mommy was here right now, she'd tell you how proud she is of you.
06:02I know.
06:03Whoa.
06:04Who's that?
06:06Why don't you go to the door and-
06:08Could you go to the door and find out?
06:18Told you I'd see you.
06:20What are you talking about?
06:21Harry, you got to shorts too?
06:23Last week, just in time.
06:26For what?
06:28What is going on?
06:30There are more surprises in store.
06:33Like...
06:36Dad?
06:37Today, I'm not just your dad.
06:39I'm your dry bear.
06:42Driver?
06:44To where?
06:45Isn't grad happening online?
06:48Oh no, not you too.
06:58Hey, keep your eyes closed.
07:00No peeking.
07:01I'm not.
07:03Just a few more steps, huh?
07:08Okay, ready?
07:11Surprise!
07:15Welcome to your very own graduation, sweet Auntie Jenny.
07:19Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you all did this?
07:22Yep, thanks to Tita Marisol, we have created a safe room so you can be part of your graduation.
07:29This is wild!
07:31Sunny!
07:32Look at everyone!
07:34This is...
07:36This is amazing.
07:38Okay, everyone.
07:40It's about to begin.
07:44Today isn't just a sad goodbye.
07:46It's a joyful beginning.
07:47As I head into high school, I will take with me all the love and care from...
07:53My friends, my family, and my beautiful dancers.
07:57Marisol, I can tell you how much I appreciate you being here for Jenny today.
08:03Of course.
08:06Jenny means a lot to me.
08:08Your whole family means a lot to me.
08:15I'm so glad we are friends.
08:21And I've learned this lesson from my best friend, Jenny Garcia.
08:31As we all know, Jenny spent over a month in hospital.
08:34And while she was in there, she not only fought cancer, she helped raise funds for East Garber World Hospital by creating this.
09:19I can't find the words to thank Jenny for being so brave.
09:22So maybe...
09:24Crystal Ball can do it for me?
09:30Hello, everyone.
09:32And, um...
09:33Hello, Jenny.
09:34Am I dreaming?
09:35Oh my gosh, is this real?
09:36Jenny, I have some really great news for you.
09:38Your video is certified viral.
09:45But not only that.
09:47Your video helped East Scarborough Hospital reach its fundraising goal.
09:56Now listen, uh...
09:57When I saw this video, I thought to myself, man, can I be as brave as she is?
10:02So you know what I'm gonna do?
10:03I'm gonna match everyone's donations because this hospital deserves double the funds!
10:14And now, let's get this party started!
10:19Yeahh!
10:20Yay!
10:27Oh!
10:28Okay.
10:29Let's move the chairs out so we can have a dance floor 2.
10:32I want to show everyone my new line, Dancing Mood!
10:35Ahhh!
10:36Ohhhh!
10:47So, I guess I'll see you when you come back for outpatient care.
10:53For sure.
10:56Thanks again.
10:58You're an amazing nurse.
11:01And you're an amazing dad.
11:04Don't forget huh?
11:06I won't.
11:15Can I can dance off?
11:16Yes, G sharp?
11:18May I have this dance?
11:20You may.
11:22Hey, this is the first time we're together without our IVs.
11:26That means we can get a little bit closer.
11:29If that's okay.
11:31Um...
11:32Yeah.
11:37We did good, didn't we?
11:40We did.
11:43She's so beautiful.
11:47This isn't the end.
11:49It's just the beginning.
11:51This might last months.
11:53Maybe even years.
11:55Who knows?
11:56But for now, I choose to live.
11:59After all, sometimes you just gotta put a dress on and dance the night away.
12:03See, I go slower cause my life spins.
12:11Trip at times but won't run away.
12:14The greatest poem I imagine.
12:16To say it all without talking.
12:19They think I melt under acid rain.
12:21But I'm still standing despite the pain.
12:23They want me to cease, but my heart still beats.
12:25Can't make me leave, I just started.
