00:00His thing that he used to say all the time,
00:02it's not about me, it's about my family.
00:05He said, this thing is bigger than me.
00:07And I never knew what that meant up until this tragedy happened.
00:12He loved us, and we loved him too.
00:15One of the things he always used to tell me all the time,
00:18even in hard times that I was having,
00:21I'm pretty sure everybody went through,
00:23not being able to pay their bills.
00:25And he said, Mama, we're going to make it.
00:30And he said, you won't have to worry about nothing.
00:32I got you.
00:34And from that day, I told him, I said, look,
00:37I don't care if you work at McDonald's frying fries,
00:41we are going to make it.
00:43We're going to do it because we love each other
00:45and we got to stick together.
00:47But just like I say, it's hard for me to talk about it.
00:52I don't know when and how I'm going to be able to get over it,
00:56but I'm trusting in God to help me through
00:59and help my family through.
