us that came back together.
880
00:42:05,490 --> 00:42:08,630
Those things all were pieces
that, you know,
881
00:42:08,627 --> 00:42:10,527
kind of put me back together.
882
00:42:10,529 --> 00:42:13,829
I mean, you know,
my son was 8 years old
883
00:42:13,832 --> 00:42:15,672
when the shootings happened.
884
00:42:15,667 --> 00:42:18,067
And I just kept
looking at him, going,
885
00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:19,899
"Are you Dylan
and I don't know it?"
