00:00Meet Diana Armstrong from Minnesota, USA.
00:03She holds the world record for the longest nails on a pair of hands.
00:07The last time I trimmed my nails was in 1997.
00:10It was the worst day of my life.
00:13The reason behind Diana's extraordinary nails is a touching one.
00:17Her daughter Letitia, who tragically passed away from an asthma attack in 1997,
00:22used to polish her nails every weekend.
00:25The day before she died, she spent time polishing and filling my nails.
00:29After that, I just couldn't cut them off.
00:32Today, Diana's grandchildren take on the role of her manicurists,
00:36spending up to 10 hours polishing each nail.
00:39But having such long nails isn't easy.
00:42Simple tasks like zipping her pants or opening a soda can require special methods.
00:47When I go to a public restroom, I have to wait for the largest stall.
00:51My nails are longer than the smaller ones.
00:54Despite these challenges, Diana's nails are a part of her identity,
00:58and hold on to the memory of her beloved daughter.
01:01If that's her way of holding on to her, then I accept.
01:04Diana Armstrong's story is a testament to love and resilience,
01:08showing how we find unique ways to keep our loved ones close.
01:11And her dedication has earned her a place in the Guinness World Records
01:15with nails longer than a school bus.
