The moment I heard,
:11:07
my daughterÂ’s vision had finally failed
her,

:11:12
and that she would forever be blind,
:11:13
I was sitting in that very chair.
:11:19
I was so ashamed,
:11:25
What do you know about your grandfather?
:11:31
He who was the wealthiest man in the
towns?

:11:34
That he was, he had a gift for that.
:11:37
If he was given 1 Dollar, and in a
:11:41
fortnight he would have turned into 5
:11:44
You do not know what money is,
:11:45
it is not part of our life here.
:11:47
Money,
:11:48
can be a wicked thing,
:11:50
it can turn men's hearts black,
:11:53
good men's hearts.
:11:54
My father could not see this.
:11:56
For all his gifts,
:11:58
he was a poor judge.
:12:01
That means character.
:12:02
Your grandfather was a good man Ivy,
:12:04
he had a laugh, he could be heard three
houses away.

:12:06
He used to hold my hand as I,
:12:09
hold yours.
:12:10
He taught me strength and showed me
love,

:12:13
and told me to,
:12:15
lead, when others would only follow.
:12:24
Your grandfather James Walker died in
:12:26
his sleep, a man put a gun to his head
and shot him while he dreamed.

:12:30
I tell you this,
:12:32
so you will understand some of the
reasons for my actions.

:12:40
And the actions of others.
:12:45
You are a strong one Ivy.
:12:47
You lead, when others will follow.
:12:50
You see light, when there is only
darkness.

:12:58
I trust you.
