It's not easy. 932 00:41:45,894 --> 00:41:48,157 - I just wish she was here. 933 00:41:48,201 --> 00:41:50,682 I wish I could be with her. 934 00:41:50,725 --> 00:41:52,248 You're taking people away from people, 935 00:41:52,292 --> 00:41:55,774 you know, that people really love, you know? 936 00:41:55,817 --> 00:42:00,953 It is sad. It's so sad. 937 00:42:00,996 --> 00:42:02,389 - If she was still alive, she'd have been 938 00:42:02,432 --> 00:42:04,043 owning her own business, 939 00:42:04,086 --> 00:42:06,132 probably would have had, like, two or three kids. 940 00:42:06,175 --> 00:42:09,483 Who knows? There's a lot of what-ifs. 941 00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:12,399 But I wish she was still here though. 942 00:42:12,442 --> 00:42:14,009 I wish. 943 00:42:14,053 --> 00:42:15,620 She played a big role in my life. 944 00:42:15,663 --> 00:42:18,492 I want her to know that. 945 00:42:18,536 --> 00:42:21,495 - Of course I miss her. I will always miss her. 946 00:42:21,539 --> 00:42:25,020 But we will meet again, I'm sure. 947 00:42:25,064 --> 00:42:27,762 It's a place for me there one day, 948 00:42:27,806 --> 00:42:30,548 and we will meet again, for sure. 949 00:42:30,591 --> 00:42:33,463 [somber music]
