God, I'm sorry, Mary. I'm so sorry.
1:10:15
Mom had said he was never coming back.
1:10:18
But here he was,
bringing presents, saying he was sorry.
1:10:22
We thought he was in jail,
but he'd got out on a temporary release...
1:10:26
so he could attend his mother's funeral.
1:10:29
We heard him cry...
1:10:32
tell Mom that he had changed...
1:10:34
that he would never drink again,
that he was sorry...
1:10:38
that he loved us...
1:10:41
and especially her.
1:10:44
We knew that it was not just the drinking
that had caused him to act the way he had...
1:10:48
but we'd never heard a man cry before.
1:10:52
It shocked us.
1:10:55
We guess that it shocked Mom, too.
1:10:59
We knew that she still needed him.
1:11:03
We were too young then to understand...
1:11:05
about how a man and a woman
loved one another.
1:11:08
How because of that love...
1:11:09
they can believe all sorts of things
about the other person that are just not true.
1:11:15
But we did understand...
1:11:16
that Mom was faced with about
the hardest decision she ever had to make.
1:11:45
Don't get any on you, now.
1:11:47
Two for us, please.
1:11:53
- How many?
- Two, please.
1:11:55
Thank you.
