00:00And I always wonder if it would have happened if I would have been there. Would she still be here?
00:04Would she have been spared because you wouldn't have met her? Or because I would have known where she was
00:09going? But those questions don't matter because you still took her from me, from all of us.
00:17You can look at me while I'm talking. It's been about 17 years since we spoke, don't forget.
00:23You charged the relationship between my mother and I for a while. She was afraid for me because of you.
00:28She was afraid when I left the house that I wouldn't return.
00:31It was also hard for her to be there for me the way I needed her to be, when she
00:35herself was fighting for my sister's life, for someone to take us seriously, fighting for her own life and for
00:41her sanity.
00:43Thankfully, we were able to reconcile that relationship, something you probably never had with your daughter, and I hope that's
00:48something that haunts you for the rest of what I hope is a very short-lived life.
00:51Thank you very much.
