Hey, cheater!
:44:06
When someone you love dies,
:44:09
you don't lose them
all at once.
:44:11
You lose them in pieces,
over time.
:44:14
Like how the mail
stops coming.
:44:17
What I remember most to this day
was my mother's scent.
:44:21
And how I hated it
when it began to disappear.
:44:24
First from her closets
and drawers,
:44:28
then from her dresses
she had sewed herself,
:44:31
and finally, from her bed sheets
and pillowcases.
:44:37
Simon and I never talked much
about that day on the baseball field.
:44:41
It was too painful
for both of us.
:44:44
For as much as I loved
my mother,
:44:47
I knew that Simon loved her
just as much.
:44:52
She was the only real mother
he ever had.
:45:18
Hi, Grandmother.
:45:23
Grandmother?
:45:27
Joe.
:45:31
Come here.
:45:36
Sit down.
:45:43
Your mother was very proud of you.
:45:47
Do you know that?
:45:51
She didn't want
any other children.
:45:54
Just you.
