You know, it's so easy to
believe him, but you know what?

1:18:07
I think it's me.
I do, because...

1:18:12
He used to look at me,
and I'd see myself in his eyes,

1:18:16
and it was like he saw me.
1:18:19
And I was audacious, Mama.
I was. And then...

1:18:26
Things started to change.
1:18:28
The harder I'd try to be
what he wanted me to be,

1:18:32
the less I saw myself
in his eyes.

1:18:35
One day I looked,
and I was gone.

1:18:42
- I still see her.
- No, Mama, no.

1:18:45
No, it's happening
with Bernice, too.

1:18:47
It's happening with Bernice.
1:18:50
She doesn't look at me
the same way.

1:18:53
It's like there's
a wall between us.

1:18:56
There's a wall,
and it's killing me,

1:18:59
'cause the one thing I said
when I grow up,

1:19:02
if I ever had
a daughter of my own,

1:19:04
she would know her mother
loved her, and I would hug her,

1:19:08
and I would tell her
nice things,

1:19:10
and I wouldn't just let
the daddy do all the hugging.

1:19:25
And I know. I realize
that it doesn't matter...

1:19:30
...who or what or when
or where the hugging happens.

1:19:37
Sometimes you just need a hug.
1:19:40
And it just hasn't
worked out that way.

1:19:43
You know, I...
1:19:47
I've seen you hug
your daughter.

1:19:55
She knows you love her.
