[0:00]I'm probably going to say to my mom, you're a wonderful person. And you're my mentor. I tie a invisible string to my heart and she ties the same one to her heart. And it's always attached together. The thing that I wish I could have done more of is thanking her. Didn't matter what shape I was in, I could always come home to mom. Maybe my poor dad got the raw end of the deal, but I do remember my mother saying to him when there was an argument about something I'd done, she says, "You don't want to hurt her spirit." I remember that. My mom was diagnosed with uh, a really rare disease about 12 hours before she died. So we didn't get a lot of time to to talk or to say goodbye, but she did get to say that she loved me, which were her last words. Uh, and I cherish that because I have been able to hang on to it. My son now always tells me, I love you, mama. But for 48 years, I realized I didn't say I love you to my mom. You were a good mom and you did really good. Thank you, mom.
[1:27]I love you, mom.
