00:00I felt like I was drowning, and I just needed to get, like, just let me bob my head above
00:08the water for a breath, and then, okay, I know I'm under, but let me just have a breath of
00:15air.
00:15And taking out some of the pain, giving over the pain to the page was the way of taking that
00:24breath. We have had, and I know many other hostage families as well, but we have had thousands and thousands
00:32and thousands of people reaching out from all over the world, all different backgrounds, all different faiths, saying,
00:43here's what happened to me. Here is what I am going through. They're not saying, they're not trying to comfort
00:50me. They're saying, let me stand next to you.
00:55Hirsch was very normal, and we want him to be remembered. He had some wonderful qualities and real courageous values
01:05that we admire, and Hirsch was normal.
01:12And the thing that was perfect about him that I said at his funeral is that he wasn't perfect, but
01:20he was the perfect son for me.
