00:01Where did you just go?
00:06Sorry. Just...
00:10Sometimes my face reminds me so much of my dad's.
00:15Do you want to talk about them? Is there anything you can remember about them that makes you feel good?
00:21I'd rather not. They aren't dead.
00:23Fine. Suit yourself, dissociation station.
00:26I have a lot of glitter to organize.
00:39I used to go to work with my mom.
00:42She'd always wear animal scrubs because she's a nurse.
00:48And in the summer she would bring me along a few days a week.
00:51Let me help out shredding stuff.
00:57And we'd visit the older patients and try to cheer them up.
01:02That was my favorite part.
01:07And on Friday nights we'd have movie night.
01:11Watching Westerns way too loud.
01:15Dad and me, we'd try to throw popcorn in each other's mouths.
01:23And I used to help my mom in the garden.
01:27And I'd get all sunburned and she'd cover me in aloe.
01:44I miss them.
01:51I know I shouldn't.
01:54It's okay to miss them. They're your parents.
01:58I just don't understand how being their kid isn't enough for them.
