1:10:06
and wait for them to die.
1:10:08
And I offered
1:10:10
to be with them until they...
1:10:12
I couldn't bear the thought of them
dying alone
1:10:15
in a cold hospital room.
1:10:20
They lived thirty hours.
1:10:25
I held them in my arms thirty hours.
1:10:30
I sang every song I knew,
1:10:32
songs from the world
they could never see, but...
1:10:39
Anyway, they just grew smaller
and smaller in my arms.
1:10:42
First the boy died, and...
1:10:47
six hours later the girl died.
1:10:54
So... since then I've specialized
in geriatric nursing.
1:11:04
I'm so sorry, Ann.
1:11:07
I don't know
why I told you this story.
1:11:10
Thanks for the coffee.
1:11:11
You know what? I better be going.
No, I'm sorry.
1:11:14
Do you want to come over
for dinner next week?
1:11:18
-Are you sure?
-Yeah, no, I would realIy love you to.
1:11:22
I know the girls
would really love it too,
1:11:25
because you have to tell them
the end of that mermaid story,
1:11:27
they love that story.
1:11:31
I'd love to, Ann.
1:11:33
And you know,
that story is happy.
1:11:37
Thank you so much,
I'd love to.
1:11:44
Read me something.
1:11:45
Read me something
that you're reading right now.
1:11:48
I'm reading a very sad book
at the moment.
1:11:52
Beautiful, but sad.
1:11:55
It can't be as sad
as the story I heard today.
1:11:58
Tell it to me.
