:44:06
Happy birthday, my little buddy.
:44:09
Mommy loves you to bits.
:44:18
Buddy, I want you to be happy.
:44:20
I know sometimes
it's not easy 'cause
:44:23
sometimes things happen
:44:26
and people aren't always
like you want them to be.
:44:28
Talk to your Dad
if there's things bothering you, okay?
:44:31
He knows more
than you'd think, seriously,
:44:32
if there's something bothering you
and you're not sure about something,
:44:35
just ask him and he'll tell you.
Grandma knows a lot of things, too.
:44:39
I really hope
she'll explain them to you.
:44:41
Try and be patient with her, OK?
:44:44
She is a good person, even if sometimes
it doesn't always seem that way...
:44:50
None of the things she's always dreamed
about ever came true, you know?
:44:53
Try and understand her.
Don't let her make you mad.
:45:01
If you get a new Mom,
try and love her, okay?
:45:06
Don't make life impossibIe for her
just out of some loyalty to me
:45:08
or something like that.
:45:10
Just I don't know...
:45:12
I know it's not the same.
:45:20
...and whatever happens,
you finish school,
:45:23
even if you think it sucks,
and you don't know
:45:25
if you can take it anymore,
you just finish school.
:45:30
I'd like to be able to tell you
stuff about boys
:45:33
and boyfriends and relationships
and that kind of stuff,
:45:38
I think
I wouldn't be much help.
:45:41
I was seventeen
when you were born, Penny,
:45:45
exactly how old
you are right now.
:45:48
You have to have faith in yourself.
:45:50
You have to have faith
in your ability to do things,
:45:53
to just make a go of it.
:45:56
Lots of kisses and cuddles,
:45:59
even though I know you're not
a small little thing anymore.
