LOST CONSCIOUSNESS, 235 00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:04,068 AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I LOST THE BABY, 236 00:13:04,068 --> 00:13:08,103 AND COMPLICATIONS FROM THAT LEFT ME UNABLE TO HAVE KIDS. 237 00:13:10,586

00:13:18,379 --> 00:13:20,137 AND I LEFT HIM. 241 00:13:20,137 --> 00:13:22,206 BUT WHAT GOT ME THROUGH THAT WAS WHAT GOT ME THROUGH 242 00:13:22,206 --> 00:13:24,827 EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE --

00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:44,517 BUT WHEN I WAS 20, I MET SOMEONE NEW, 249 00:13:44,517 --> 00:13:47,586 AND I WORKED UP THE COURAGE TO START DATING AGAIN. 250 00:13:47,586 --> 00:13:49,103 HE WAS
