00:00So how does this work?
00:01My son's assistant being here.
00:03It's a very unusual situation.
00:06Will you be sitting beside me at the funeral?
00:08Well, no, I mean, I couldn't...
00:09You're doing everything else for Tyler. Why can't you be my son on the day?
00:12Well, because I'm no replacement for...
00:14You'd be surprised how low that bar is.
00:18Tyler is doing his best.
00:19Oh, please.
00:19He seems to think he could pass off his responsibility to say goodbye to his stepfather.
00:24We turned the spare into an art studio, so you'll have to sleep out here.
00:27Sure.
00:29Oh.
00:29It is a bed.
00:31Oh, yeah, no, it's...
00:32Or there's the couch.
00:33Yeah, oh, no, it's...
00:33That is where he died, though, so...
00:35Wow, okay.
00:36It's up to you.
00:36No, that's...
00:36I'll get sheets.
00:37Thanks.
00:38Do you want to start a list of things we need to do?
00:41I have one.
00:42I emptied your dishwasher, and I made some coffee.
00:45I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.
00:47I kind of get off on this stuff, and I instantly regret saying get off.
00:51My husband made friends here.
00:53I made acquaintances.
00:54He wants the Beach Boys God only knows as people arrive.
00:57I'm thinking, tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.
01:01It's a big hit.
01:03I'm sorry, that's horrible.
01:06I know Tyler won't check in when he gets back.
01:08That's what our relationship has become.
01:10Just large chasms of time pass with no communication, and they'll get the arbitrary text.
01:16Miss you and love you, Mom.
01:18You get that one, too.
01:21You texted him yourself, but instead you chose to stay angry.
01:25I've shown him nothing but love, because I knew he needed it.
01:28It just comes with a price.
01:31You're floored that he doesn't want to come running back to your arms.
01:34I am his mother.
01:35Well, then fight like one.
01:40This is Judith, my next-door neighbor, and this is Jamie, a gift from my son.
01:46Oh.
01:46Judith so thinks we're sleeping together.
01:50If God is kind.
01:51You're welcome.
