I know it's weird,
:05:02
but it's the onIy pIace
in the world I feeI good.

:05:08
Sometimes it's IittIe things
I remember about her.

:05:11
Her hands, the way she Iaughed.
:05:14
And sometimes I'm not sure
if my memories are reaI,

:05:17
or just from pictures.
:05:20
But I'm sure there was a moment
when everything was perfect.

:05:24
Before my father got sick.
:05:26
You see,
:05:28
there used to be four of us.
:05:33
My father dreamed of
being an artist.

:05:36
Instead, he worked for
a giant corporation.

:05:38
He hated it,
hated himseIf for working there.

:05:42
Faith said it's what made him sick.
:05:45
How come he never paints me?
:05:50
You don't sit stiII Iong enough.
:05:53
You sit stiII.
He doesn't paint you either.

:05:59
There's something I want to teII you.
:06:02
What?
:06:03
Yesterday, I bought you both
some treasury bonds.

:06:07
Why'd you do that?
:06:09
For when you Ieave high schooI,
so you can traveI,

:06:12
see the worId,
:06:14
do things you can teII about
for the rest of your Iives.

:06:17
My father thought he was born
a generation too soon.

:06:21
We were the ones who couId
do anything, change the world.

:06:24
I'm waiting for you to
dunk your head.

:06:28
Faith beIieved him compIeteIy.
:06:49
After he died,
:06:50
Faith was compIeteIy Iost.
:06:53
She wouId skip schooI and stay
in her room for days at a time.
