3
00:00:20,061 --> 00:00:21,187
{\an8}Every day,
4
00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:22,939
{\an8}we pass strangers around us,
5
00:00:22,939 --> 00:00:26,484
{\an8}exchanging smiles,
friendly nods...
6
00:00:26,484 --> 00:00:28,820
{\an8}maybe even a "Merry Christmas"
if we're in the spirit.
7
00:00:30,363 --> 00:00:33,074
{\an8}And as we smile
and greet that stranger,
8
00:00:33,074 --> 00:00:35,201
{\an8}you may think to yourself,
9
00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:36,703
{\an8}"I wonder
what their life is like?"
10
00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:39,831
{\an8}You might not even
think about it
11
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:41,166
{\an8}for more than a moment,
12
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:43,084
{\an8}as your paths
aren't likely to cross again...
13
00:00:45,211 --> 00:00:46,338
{\an8}...yet these complete strangers
14
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:48,131
{\an8}would find their way
to one other...
15
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,510
{\an8}...forming bonds that,
at first,
16
00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:54,137
{\an8}may seem unlikely.
17
00:00:57,098 --> 00:00:59,351
{\an8}Sometimes, we discover,
18
00:00:59,351 --> 00:01:01,770
{\an8}those bonds may turn out to be
19
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:03,438
{\an8}the very best kind.
20
00:01:47,982 --> 00:01:49,192
There you go!
21
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:50,568
Are you happy now?
22
00:01:50,568 --> 00:01:51,695
I am.
23
00:01:51,695 --> 00:01:53,279
Now you can play
1/12th of "Silent Night".
24
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:54,531
- Wonderful!
- Mm-hmm.
25
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:56,908
Well...
26
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:58,451
when we meet our deadline
27
00:01:58,451 --> 00:02:02,622
and deliver these paintings
to the Christmas Gallery,
28
00:02:02,622 --> 00:02:05,000
then you can teach me
the other 11 parts. How's that?
29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,501
I know you're worried
30
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:08,878
about us not selling enough
at the gallery to make rent,
31
00:02:08,878 --> 00:02:10,255
but...
32
00:02:10,255 --> 00:02:11,423
God will make a way.
33
00:02:13,091 --> 00:02:14,759
You're right.
34
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:17,178
Please, God,
35
00:02:17,178 --> 00:02:18,680
let the love of my life
36
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,641
come over here and help me
finish these paintings.
37
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:22,684
Amen.
38
00:02:29,607 --> 00:02:32,777
Happy first day
of December, Traci!
39
00:02:32,777 --> 00:02:34,195
I got you a little something.
40
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:38,324
Isn't it a little early
for a little something?
41
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:40,535
Thought it might
liven the place up.
42
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:43,997
There's chocolates
for each day!
43
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,331
That'll get you
in the spirit.
44
00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:48,376
Thank you.
I love it.
45
00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:50,962
Is excessive consumption
of sweets
46
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:52,047
a stage of grief?
47
00:02:52,047 --> 00:02:53,214
Because if so,
48
00:02:53,214 --> 00:02:54,257
then I am really cruising
49
00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:55,675
through that part
of the process.
50
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:57,427
All right, let's see,
51
00:02:57,427 --> 00:02:59,804
only...
52
00:02:59,804 --> 00:03:01,348
23 more chocolates until our--
53
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:05,977
...my annual
Christmas exhibition.
54
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:09,022
Want to see
what I've been working on?
55
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:10,190
Mm! Great!
56
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:12,734
You just wait!
57
00:03:13,818 --> 00:03:15,612
This I like to call...
58
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,072
"Silent Not".
59
00:03:17,072 --> 00:03:18,573
Oh, boy.
60
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:21,076
Yeah.
61
00:03:21,076 --> 00:03:23,078
And this little, sweet gem
over here
62
00:03:23,078 --> 00:03:24,412
I like to call
63
00:03:24,412 --> 00:03:27,415
"Riding in
a Half-Horse, Open Sleigh".
64
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:31,002
Okay, Trace,
I am your best friend first
65
00:03:31,002 --> 00:03:32,504
and your manager second--
66
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:33,797
and while the manager side of me
67
00:03:33,797 --> 00:03:35,465
is a little nervous
68
00:03:35,465 --> 00:03:38,093
you won't be done
for Christmas Eve,
69
00:03:38,093 --> 00:03:39,260
the friend side of me...
70
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:42,764
...understands.
71
00:03:42,764 --> 00:03:45,141
If you need to take
another year off, take it.
72
00:03:45,141 --> 00:03:46,434
No. No.
73
00:03:46,434 --> 00:03:48,853
It's been two years, Joyce.
74
00:03:48,853 --> 00:03:50,271
I have to do this.
75
00:03:51,523 --> 00:03:53,274
I have to figure out
how to work without him.
76
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:57,570
It's just...
77
00:03:57,570 --> 00:03:59,698
we complemented each other
78
00:03:59,698 --> 00:04:01,032
in...
79
00:04:01,032 --> 00:04:01,866
every way, you know?
80
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:05,870
I don't know, I...
81
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:07,414
I see potential here.
82
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:09,332
I think you can do this.
83
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:12,961
And I know exactly
what you need to do next.
84
00:04:14,129 --> 00:04:15,296
Plant myself
in front of that easel
85
00:04:15,296 --> 00:04:17,090
until I've finished
my masterpiece?
86
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,883
No, silly...
87
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:20,260
clear your mind!
88
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,678
I'm taking you
Christmas shopping!
89
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:22,762
- No!
- Yup!
90
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:25,098
Yes! 100%!
91
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:26,141
Can't be sad
at the Christmas market.
92
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:27,308
It's illegal.
93
00:04:35,066 --> 00:04:36,317
You've just had too much.
94
00:04:36,317 --> 00:04:38,403
I can't help myself.
95
00:04:39,195 --> 00:04:40,238
Hey!
96
00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:42,615
You guys are still here?
97
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:45,035
Well, we were chatting
after the meeting as usual...
98
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:46,369
Which then turned into
99
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:47,871
us getting a three-hour
hot chocolate together...
100
00:04:47,871 --> 00:04:49,122
...Which then ended
101
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:50,957
in me realizing
I forgot my scarf at church,
102
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:52,167
so we came back here to get it.
103
00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:53,543
I see.
104
00:04:53,543 --> 00:04:55,337
That's when we noticed
our beloved leader
105
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:56,921
working away here!
106
00:04:56,921 --> 00:04:58,048
You need help?
107
00:04:58,048 --> 00:04:59,382
No, no, no.
You guys, no.
108
00:04:59,382 --> 00:05:00,550
Look, I've got it covered.
109
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:02,218
I think I'm ready to deliver
these boxes
110
00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:03,345
to the women's shelter,
111
00:05:03,345 --> 00:05:04,137
and children's hospital
youth center--
112
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:05,263
so I'm good.
113
00:05:05,263 --> 00:05:06,306
Hey, Mike, I have a question.
114
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,557
Are you the real Santa Claus?
115
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,351
Give us your best "Ho-Ho-Ho".
116
00:05:09,351 --> 00:05:11,227
Ho-ho-ho, Justin!
117
00:05:11,227 --> 00:05:12,187
Oh, but that wasn't a no.
118
00:05:12,187 --> 00:05:13,271
No, No.
119
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:15,148
Listen--
I appreciate the offer,
120
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:16,441
I do,
121
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:17,359
but I really would like
to deliver these solo,
122
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:18,610
if I could.
123
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:20,195
All right.
124
00:05:20,195 --> 00:05:21,821
But...
125
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:24,407
promise us that you will also
do something for yourself.
126
00:05:24,407 --> 00:05:27,369
You spend all your time
helping everyone else.
127
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:30,538
I know I do,
and I will, okay?
128
00:05:30,538 --> 00:05:31,664
Okay.
129
00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:32,832
Now...
130
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:33,833
I love you guys, but...
131
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:34,876
let's go! Out!
132
00:05:34,876 --> 00:05:36,044
Okay! We're going!
133
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:37,587
We're going, we're going.
134
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:38,838
- See ya.
- See ya later.
135
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:53,895
Here we go.
136
00:05:55,105 --> 00:05:56,272
Ah, yes.
137
00:05:56,272 --> 00:05:59,234
Come on! Pick any one
you want, my treat!
138
00:05:59,234 --> 00:06:00,527
All right, um...
139
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,070
Ooh! How about that one?
140
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:03,113
Hmm.
141
00:06:04,239 --> 00:06:05,532
- Oh!
- Oh, I'm sorry!
142
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:06,741
No, no, no, no!
You take it!
143
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:07,826
Please, I insist.
144
00:06:07,826 --> 00:06:09,994
You touched it
one second before me,
145
00:06:09,994 --> 00:06:11,079
so, technically, you had dibs.
146
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,414
Oh.
147
00:06:12,414 --> 00:06:14,207
So those are the rules
for "dibs" then, huh?
148
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:15,375
I don't make the rules,
149
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,543
I do enforce them.
150
00:06:17,585 --> 00:06:19,421
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
151
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:22,173
Two strangers insisting
the other gets what they want
152
00:06:22,173 --> 00:06:23,883
certainly beats the alternative
this time of year, huh?
153
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:25,885
Oh, you...
154
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:27,554
you should have seen
the tug-of-war I witnessed
155
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:29,472
between two moms
and a toy car on Black Friday.
156
00:06:29,472 --> 00:06:31,141
I can only imagine.
157
00:06:31,141 --> 00:06:32,100
Brutal.
158
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:36,604
You know, you take this.
159
00:06:36,604 --> 00:06:37,564
What?
160
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:38,940
You can have it. I...
161
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:40,525
I...
162
00:06:40,525 --> 00:06:42,068
I have to go. Yeah.
163
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:43,820
Have a nice day.
164
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:51,911
What was that all about?
165
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,205
He looks familiar.
166
00:06:55,623 --> 00:06:58,376
I think he goes to the church
that Greg and I went to.
167
00:06:58,376 --> 00:06:59,919
- Grace Community?
- Yeah.
168
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:02,339
My memory's fuzzy,
169
00:07:02,339 --> 00:07:04,174
but I think he led
a support group there.
170
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,803
Of course, I haven't
been back since...
171
00:07:10,638 --> 00:07:14,768
You know, when my aunt
passed away a few years back,
172
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:17,562
I went to a grief-support group
at a local church.
173
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:19,731
It really helped me.
174
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:21,900
There's just something special
175
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,485
about healing alongside others
176
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:25,028
who are going through
the same thing.
177
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:27,113
And look!
178
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:28,114
Grace has one, too!
179
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:32,577
Thank you.
180
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:33,787
I just don't think
it's my thing.
181
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:34,996
I don't.
182
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:38,083
Besides, I'm feeling like
my old self again!
183
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:39,167
Yeah!
184
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:41,544
Joy! Happiness! Fun!
185
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:43,838
Boop-boop-boop!
186
00:07:45,757 --> 00:07:46,883
I'm not fooling anyone, am I?
187
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:49,803
Who knows.
188
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:52,514
Maybe it will help you move past
this "painter block".
189
00:07:53,598 --> 00:07:55,016
I'll take this one.
190
00:07:55,016 --> 00:07:56,184
How's that?
191
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:57,394
It's gorgeous.
We'll take it.
192
00:07:57,394 --> 00:07:59,020
All right.
Thank you.
193
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:00,021
Here you go.
194
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:03,024
Made your favorite--
195
00:08:03,024 --> 00:08:05,318
pancakes,
Christmas-style,
196
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:07,696
with red and green sprinkles.
197
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:12,575
Dad, you do know I'm not
five years old anymore, right?
198
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:14,577
Well, you know what...
199
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,038
...they actually
still do the trick.
200
00:08:17,038 --> 00:08:18,039
Thank you.
201
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:20,709
How's the Christmas painting
coming along?
202
00:08:20,709 --> 00:08:24,212
Well, it's not exactly
coming along quite yet.
203
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:26,047
There is clearly
something missing.
204
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:30,635
Well...
205
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:32,470
we think it is so admirable
206
00:08:32,470 --> 00:08:33,638
that you're choosing
to carry on
207
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:37,058
the work
that you two shared together.
208
00:08:37,058 --> 00:08:40,311
Maybe you just need
a little inspiration?
209
00:08:40,311 --> 00:08:42,522
My childhood art projects?
210
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,107
Where did you dig these up?
211
00:08:44,107 --> 00:08:45,150
I found them
212
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,026
when I was cleaning
the other day.
213
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:47,360
Do you remember
214
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,862
the very first art show
that you put on for us?
215
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:50,655
Yes, I was about the same age
216
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:52,282
as when you used to make me
these pancakes.
217
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:55,910
Look, it's Freddy Teddy.
218
00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:58,246
Do you remember Freddy Teddy?
219
00:08:58,246 --> 00:08:59,831
I remember Freddy Teddy.
220
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,667
I stood in line for hours
for a "Freddy Teddy".
221
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:05,253
This is not bad for a kid.
222
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:06,212
- Not bad at all.
- No.
223
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:07,422
Try to remember
224
00:09:07,422 --> 00:09:09,049
why you became an artist
in the first place.
225
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:11,217
To make people
feel something special.
226
00:09:11,217 --> 00:09:13,261
And isn't that what brought
you and Greg together?
227
00:09:19,351 --> 00:09:20,643
I'm sorry, Trace.
228
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:21,644
I didn't mean to--
229
00:09:21,644 --> 00:09:23,897
No, no, no, no, no.
230
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:25,482
Dad, it's...
231
00:09:25,482 --> 00:09:27,859
it's okay.
232
00:09:27,859 --> 00:09:30,612
Just some memories
just hit harder than others.
233
00:09:32,113 --> 00:09:33,948
Well, don't forget
that we are here for you.
234
00:09:35,283 --> 00:09:36,951
We are so...
235
00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:39,579
blessed...
236
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,664
that we're your parents.
237
00:09:42,624 --> 00:09:46,878
And I am so lucky
to be your daughter.
238
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:21,788
Are you copying me?
239
00:10:23,498 --> 00:10:24,499
- Oh...
- I'm gonna tell the teacher.
240
00:10:24,499 --> 00:10:27,043
No, no. I was...
241
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:29,879
admiring the colors
and the detail.
242
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:31,131
It's a lot better than mine.
243
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:33,466
I don't know.
244
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:34,718
I think you're in good shape.
245
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:36,302
Aw, thank you.
I work out.
246
00:10:41,516 --> 00:10:42,642
I'm Greg.
247
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,269
Traci.
248
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,218
Traci Fremont!
249
00:11:19,596 --> 00:11:21,097
Patricia.
250
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:22,515
It's been a while.
251
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,184
Yes! Oh!
252
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:28,563
It's so good to have you back
for the gallery this Christmas!
253
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:30,065
We really missed you last year.
254
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:32,650
Now, Joyce said
255
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:34,110
she was working
on the press release. How is--
256
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:35,111
Press release?
257
00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:38,406
Um... I thought you knew.
258
00:11:39,616 --> 00:11:40,700
You are committed, right?
259
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:43,495
No. Yes, yes, yes! I am. Yes.
260
00:11:43,495 --> 00:11:44,496
Sorry, it just...
261
00:11:45,914 --> 00:11:48,375
Listen,
if you're still not ready...
262
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:50,627
I am. I am.
263
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:51,836
I just...
264
00:11:53,296 --> 00:11:55,215
I need to make a call.
265
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:57,133
- Okay.
- Okay.
266
00:12:10,438 --> 00:12:12,065
Joyce, hey.
267
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:14,776
I was thinking about
our conversation at the market.
268
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:17,278
What time is that next meeting?
269
00:12:36,214 --> 00:12:38,675
- What's her name?
- Traci, I think.
270
00:12:38,675 --> 00:12:39,884
Yeah, I think so.
271
00:12:39,884 --> 00:12:41,261
So we'll just wait.
272
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:42,345
Hey, there she is. Hey!
273
00:12:42,345 --> 00:12:43,555
Hey.
274
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:44,514
You... you must be Traci.
275
00:12:44,514 --> 00:12:45,932
I am.
276
00:12:45,932 --> 00:12:48,935
We got your email about
possibly joining the group.
277
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:50,353
I'm sorry. You look
extremely familiar to me.
278
00:12:50,353 --> 00:12:51,396
Have we met?
279
00:12:51,396 --> 00:12:53,273
At the Christmas market.
280
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:54,482
Remember the ornament?
281
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:55,483
Oh, yes!
That's right. Yeah.
282
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:56,609
Yeah.
283
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:58,278
That's very...
very funny.
284
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:00,280
Please! Come on, join us.
285
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,322
Have a seat.
286
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:03,742
My name is Michael.
287
00:13:03,742 --> 00:13:05,285
I'm sort of
288
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:06,828
the fearless leader
of our little group here.
289
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:07,871
Mostly fearless--
290
00:13:07,871 --> 00:13:09,289
except when he sees a spider.
291
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:10,373
Okay, come on.
292
00:13:10,373 --> 00:13:11,458
You should've seen him
the other day...
293
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:12,042
he jumped, like,
three feet in the air!
294
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:13,335
Okay, well, yes--
295
00:13:13,335 --> 00:13:14,669
and I only did that once--
296
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:15,962
because the spider
was really big.
297
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:17,505
It was about, like, that.
298
00:13:21,676 --> 00:13:23,136
So, this is--
this is everybody?
299
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:24,888
Yes. No, it's...
300
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:25,847
yeah, this is everybody.
301
00:13:25,847 --> 00:13:27,349
We're kind of small but mighty!
302
00:13:27,349 --> 00:13:28,391
Right, you guys?
303
00:13:28,391 --> 00:13:30,018
I'll introduce you.
This is Ethel.
304
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:30,935
Hello.
305
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:32,187
We have Regina here.
306
00:13:32,187 --> 00:13:33,188
- Hi.
- Hi.
307
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:34,481
And Justin.
308
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:35,482
Hi!
309
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:36,649
Hi.
310
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:38,902
So, what do you say
we get started, huh?
311
00:13:38,902 --> 00:13:39,944
Traci, before every session,
312
00:13:39,944 --> 00:13:41,363
we like to bow our heads
in prayer.
313
00:13:46,201 --> 00:13:48,370
Dear God,
314
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:49,496
I want to thank you
315
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:50,997
for bringing us
all together tonight.
316
00:13:50,997 --> 00:13:52,415
The team handling his surgery
317
00:13:52,415 --> 00:13:53,583
is the best there is.
318
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,127
So there's hope?
319
00:13:57,462 --> 00:13:59,130
In his case, in particular...
320
00:14:00,382 --> 00:14:01,257
...it's a risky procedure.
321
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:05,095
I'd be doing you a disservice
if I gave you false hope.
322
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:09,057
But we've prayed.
323
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:13,603
Me, our church,
family, and friends,
324
00:14:13,603 --> 00:14:14,562
we've prayed.
325
00:14:15,897 --> 00:14:17,273
He'll be okay.
326
00:14:19,776 --> 00:14:21,569
- Amen.
- Amen!
327
00:14:21,569 --> 00:14:22,696
I'm really sorry, everyone.
328
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,030
I, um...
329
00:14:26,491 --> 00:14:27,409
It was nice meeting you.
330
00:14:34,958 --> 00:14:36,084
Traci! Traci!
331
00:14:39,254 --> 00:14:40,422
Are you okay?
332
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:41,464
No.
333
00:14:41,464 --> 00:14:42,924
No, I am...
334
00:14:43,925 --> 00:14:45,093
I thought I was ready.
335
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:46,302
I'm not.
336
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:48,054
Look, the hardest part
is just showing up.
337
00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:50,348
Okay?
338
00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:51,433
We just want you to feel
welcome here, that's all.
339
00:14:52,642 --> 00:14:53,810
Thank you.
340
00:14:53,810 --> 00:14:55,311
Thank you, but...
341
00:14:58,064 --> 00:14:59,607
...I can't.
I can't.
342
00:15:15,707 --> 00:15:17,167
Okay...
343
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:22,714
Good work, partner.
344
00:15:22,714 --> 00:15:24,758
Thank you.
345
00:15:24,758 --> 00:15:26,468
Hey, what do you say
we donate this one?
346
00:15:27,552 --> 00:15:28,720
Yeah. 'Tis the season.
347
00:15:30,513 --> 00:15:31,598
God provided for us
348
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:32,724
and now we get to bless
someone else.
349
00:15:33,767 --> 00:15:35,143
I love it.
350
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:37,270
I'm lucky...
351
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:38,521
that you said yes
to that hot chocolate
352
00:15:38,521 --> 00:15:39,773
all those years ago.
353
00:15:39,773 --> 00:15:40,940
Oh, ho, ho.
354
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:41,983
You're just lucky that place
355
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,568
was stocked
full of marshmallows.
356
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:47,864
I'm just glad we get to do this
for the rest of our lives.
357
00:15:47,864 --> 00:15:49,074
Mm-hmm.
358
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:52,202
Mm-hmm.
359
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:15,225
Excuse me.
360
00:16:15,225 --> 00:16:17,310
Oh!
361
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:18,395
Oops.
362
00:16:19,771 --> 00:16:20,814
It's okay.
363
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:22,649
I have a thousand
of these shirts.
364
00:16:24,025 --> 00:16:24,943
Do not worry
about anything, okay?
365
00:16:24,943 --> 00:16:26,152
It was my fault.
366
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:27,237
I shouldn't have
snuck up on you like that--
367
00:16:27,237 --> 00:16:29,489
especially
when you were in the zone.
368
00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:31,658
- Oh...
- Do you paint?
369
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:32,867
- I do.
- Wow, really?
370
00:16:32,867 --> 00:16:33,993
Yeah.
371
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,120
That's fabulous,
because I could...
372
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,163
use your expertise,
if you don't mind.
373
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:40,500
I'm looking for the right paint
for toy wooden trains.
374
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:41,668
Toy wooden trains?
375
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:43,086
Yeah, yeah.
376
00:16:43,086 --> 00:16:43,795
It's something the group does
every year at Christmas.
377
00:16:43,795 --> 00:16:45,213
Oh.
378
00:16:45,213 --> 00:16:46,840
This year, we're providing toys
to the youth center
379
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,882
so they can decorate.
380
00:16:47,882 --> 00:16:49,384
Do our work and stuff like that.
381
00:16:49,384 --> 00:16:51,136
- That's really sweet.
- Thank you.
382
00:16:51,136 --> 00:16:53,513
It kinda even sounds like...
383
00:16:53,513 --> 00:16:55,390
- Fun?
- Fun.
384
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:56,349
- Fun!
- Yeah.
385
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:57,934
No, it's a lot
of fun, actually.
386
00:16:57,934 --> 00:16:58,810
We like to mix things up.
387
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:00,186
I mean...
388
00:17:00,186 --> 00:17:01,104
Talking in a circle
is just one of the things we do,
389
00:17:01,104 --> 00:17:02,272
but... yeah.
390
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:05,442
- Quick recommendation?
- Sure!
391
00:17:05,442 --> 00:17:06,943
- Yes, are you kidding? Please.
- Okay. Great.
392
00:17:06,943 --> 00:17:11,364
Um, I would recommend
the non-toxic acrylic.
393
00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:12,323
Okay.
394
00:17:12,323 --> 00:17:14,034
Especially since
it's kids, right?
395
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:16,119
They have
every color imaginable.
396
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,245
I'll just pull some for you.
397
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:18,663
Ah, this is amazing.
Thank you so much.
398
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:20,290
Of course!
Green, Christmas.
399
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:21,666
Okay...
400
00:17:21,666 --> 00:17:23,043
It's kind of funny
401
00:17:23,043 --> 00:17:24,210
that we just bumped into
each other again like this.
402
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,628
You know, at first, the market,
403
00:17:25,628 --> 00:17:27,047
then group, then here.
404
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:28,423
Ooh! Nice catch.
405
00:17:29,424 --> 00:17:30,842
Well, they do say
third time's a charm.
406
00:17:32,093 --> 00:17:33,386
Except that--
not so lucky.
407
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:34,763
Yeah, well...
408
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:36,556
you know, people do say
it's either luck, or fate,
409
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:38,141
or God.
410
00:17:38,141 --> 00:17:40,560
Or a complete coincidence.
411
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,895
Thank you.
412
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:44,230
Well, I don't really
believe in coincidences, so.
413
00:17:45,148 --> 00:17:46,358
- Uh, hey?
- Yeah?
414
00:17:47,776 --> 00:17:50,487
I just wanted to apologize
again for the other night.
415
00:17:52,447 --> 00:17:54,574
To be honest...
416
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:55,784
prayer is tough for me.
417
00:17:56,951 --> 00:17:58,119
I don't know
418
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,120
what I was expecting
walking into a church.
419
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:00,955
Hey, it's okay.
420
00:18:00,955 --> 00:18:02,582
It's fine, it's fine.
421
00:18:03,667 --> 00:18:05,210
My offer still stands.
422
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,420
You know, we'd love to have you,
and no praying required, okay?
423
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,422
All right?
424
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:10,256
So, how much--
425
00:18:10,256 --> 00:18:11,591
No, no, no.
It's on me.
426
00:18:12,592 --> 00:18:13,385
Because that's on him.
427
00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:15,845
- Thank you very much.
- Yes, of course.
428
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:17,514
I think the blue actually
does help bring out my eyes.
429
00:18:17,514 --> 00:18:18,473
What do you think?
430
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,478
- Mom?
- Hmm?
431
00:18:24,646 --> 00:18:26,481
What other things
was I good at growing up?
432
00:18:27,899 --> 00:18:29,442
What weren't you good at!
433
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:30,777
Math, Science,
434
00:18:30,777 --> 00:18:33,405
making necklaces
out of those little candies...
435
00:18:34,364 --> 00:18:35,573
A mathematician and scientist
436
00:18:35,573 --> 00:18:37,325
are probably
more practical careers,
437
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:39,744
but making candy necklaces
sounds like a lot more fun.
438
00:18:39,744 --> 00:18:41,705
Uh-oh.
439
00:18:41,705 --> 00:18:42,789
Has your creative block
440
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:43,957
progressed to the point
441
00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:45,542
where you're considering
changing careers?
442
00:18:45,542 --> 00:18:49,421
It's just I kept the apartment
for the art studio,
443
00:18:49,421 --> 00:18:51,798
but now I don't even
want to make art, so.
444
00:18:52,841 --> 00:18:55,301
You might feel that way now,
but you'll get your groove back.
445
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:56,803
You know,
it just takes time.
446
00:18:56,803 --> 00:19:01,766
Or maybe it's time
I let it go.
447
00:19:04,686 --> 00:19:06,438
You know...
448
00:19:06,438 --> 00:19:10,692
Greg loved
talking about your gifts,
449
00:19:10,692 --> 00:19:11,651
your compassion,
450
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:12,819
your...
451
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:14,779
perseverance...
452
00:19:14,779 --> 00:19:16,573
your knack for helping others.
453
00:19:18,283 --> 00:19:21,119
So, before you go make
any big decisions,
454
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,497
think about the ways
that your...
455
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:25,874
gifts
456
00:19:25,874 --> 00:19:26,875
influence your art.
457
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,295
Whoa!
458
00:19:30,295 --> 00:19:32,505
Did Michelangelo
design these?
459
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,341
Oh, Dad.
460
00:19:34,341 --> 00:19:35,759
Hey, where are you going
with those?
461
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:37,677
Well...
462
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:39,220
I am going to take them
463
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:41,097
to some people...
464
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:42,474
who could use
a little Christmas cheer.
465
00:19:46,019 --> 00:19:47,103
That looks great, Ethel.
466
00:19:47,103 --> 00:19:48,396
Thank you.
467
00:19:48,396 --> 00:19:50,690
Thank you for taking the lead
on the trimmings.
468
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:52,025
You're welcome.
469
00:19:52,025 --> 00:19:53,985
So what do you say
we get started, guys?
470
00:19:53,985 --> 00:19:55,195
Huh?
471
00:19:55,195 --> 00:19:56,613
Yeah, sounds good.
472
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:57,655
It's about time.
473
00:19:57,655 --> 00:19:58,907
All right...
474
00:19:58,907 --> 00:20:00,492
Hi.
475
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:07,916
I brought cookies.
476
00:20:09,084 --> 00:20:10,877
I hope I don't spoil
your dinner.
477
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:12,629
Not at all.
478
00:20:12,629 --> 00:20:14,547
Justin already
spoiled our dinner!
479
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:16,383
But we always
have room for more.
480
00:20:17,884 --> 00:20:19,052
Well...
481
00:20:19,052 --> 00:20:21,846
technically,
they are "apology cookies".
482
00:20:21,846 --> 00:20:23,014
I am--
483
00:20:23,014 --> 00:20:25,141
I'm really sorry
for running out.
484
00:20:25,141 --> 00:20:26,559
No need
to apologize, dear.
485
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:28,520
We're just happy you came back!
486
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,398
This group
is all about second chances.
487
00:20:31,398 --> 00:20:33,858
Yeah, and third chances,
fourth chances...
488
00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:34,859
however many it takes.
489
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:37,278
Yeah.
490
00:20:37,278 --> 00:20:40,156
So, since this is
Traci's official first meeting,
491
00:20:40,156 --> 00:20:41,199
I'd like to remind everybody
492
00:20:41,199 --> 00:20:43,410
this is
a judgment-free zone here.
493
00:20:43,410 --> 00:20:44,744
Speak freely, honestly,
494
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:45,745
but only if you're led,
495
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:46,621
and keep in mind
496
00:20:46,621 --> 00:20:48,289
that whatever is said here...
497
00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:50,291
stays here. Okay?
498
00:20:51,251 --> 00:20:53,378
I thought we'd start
with some check-ins.
499
00:20:53,378 --> 00:20:54,879
Let's have a seat,
shall we?
500
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:55,964
Okay.
501
00:21:00,844 --> 00:21:03,596
I took a trip
down to the Christmas market,
502
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:07,976
where Ron and I used to play
Santa and Mrs. Claus.
503
00:21:09,978 --> 00:21:12,147
I didn't stay for very long,
504
00:21:12,147 --> 00:21:14,107
but I...
505
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:16,735
I did manage to sit
with the discomfort
506
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:17,736
for a little while.
507
00:21:17,736 --> 00:21:18,653
That's good,
508
00:21:18,653 --> 00:21:20,447
because I know that you and Ron
509
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:21,781
have shared
a lot of memories there.
510
00:21:21,781 --> 00:21:23,992
So many happy ones.
511
00:21:27,412 --> 00:21:30,999
Ron was the best Santa
in the whole world.
512
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:32,125
We married later in life,
513
00:21:32,125 --> 00:21:34,085
so we never had
any kids of our own.
514
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:35,295
but one year,
515
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:38,006
Ron had the idea
to volunteer as Santa.
516
00:21:38,006 --> 00:21:39,090
...definitely on the Nice List.
517
00:21:39,090 --> 00:21:41,009
He already had
the look down pat.
518
00:21:42,594 --> 00:21:45,764
Santa sees a toy truck
in your future.
519
00:21:45,764 --> 00:21:46,723
Oh!
520
00:21:47,891 --> 00:21:49,934
What would I do without you,
Mrs. Claus?
521
00:21:52,187 --> 00:21:53,146
Plus the occasional kid
522
00:21:53,146 --> 00:21:54,481
that would tug on his beard
523
00:21:54,481 --> 00:21:57,067
to make sure
he was the real Santa.
524
00:21:57,067 --> 00:21:59,152
Yeah.
525
00:21:59,152 --> 00:22:00,570
His beard was real.
It was real.
526
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:03,907
My husband passed away
a couple of years ago,
527
00:22:03,907 --> 00:22:05,033
and...
528
00:22:06,368 --> 00:22:07,994
...life has not been
the same since then, but...
529
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,706
...the passing of time helps.
530
00:22:12,707 --> 00:22:15,752
Especially when you're
surrounded by loved ones.
531
00:22:16,711 --> 00:22:17,754
Thank you.
532
00:22:17,754 --> 00:22:18,838
Thank you!
533
00:22:19,881 --> 00:22:21,132
Thank you. Yeah.
534
00:22:21,132 --> 00:22:22,175
May I actually go next?
535
00:22:22,175 --> 00:22:23,176
Of course.
536
00:22:23,176 --> 00:22:24,636
Yeah, I...
537
00:22:24,636 --> 00:22:26,179
I was supposed to stop
by my parents' house
538
00:22:26,179 --> 00:22:27,097
the other night for dinner,
539
00:22:27,097 --> 00:22:28,223
but...
540
00:22:28,223 --> 00:22:29,432
I just told myself
541
00:22:29,432 --> 00:22:30,600
it would end
in another argument.
542
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,686
So I went back to the bakery,
543
00:22:32,686 --> 00:22:33,895
as usual.
544
00:22:35,188 --> 00:22:36,523
I mean, it's just...
545
00:22:36,523 --> 00:22:39,526
I think it's just
where I feel closest to Nai Nai.
546
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:40,777
Oh! Nai Nai is my grandmother.
547
00:22:41,778 --> 00:22:42,821
Yeah, I've been running
her bakery
548
00:22:42,821 --> 00:22:44,239
ever since she passed away
last year,
549
00:22:44,239 --> 00:22:46,991
hence our weekly sugar-rushes.
550
00:22:46,991 --> 00:22:48,910
Thank you.
551
00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:51,538
I dropped out of law school
to take it over.
552
00:22:51,538 --> 00:22:53,873
And that did not go over well
with my dad.
553
00:22:56,126 --> 00:22:57,335
Well, Justin,
554
00:22:57,335 --> 00:22:58,962
I know you'll patch things up
with your dad.
555
00:22:58,962 --> 00:23:00,213
You will.
556
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:02,549
When the time is right, okay?
557
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:04,426
Thanks. I hope so.
558
00:23:06,177 --> 00:23:07,178
Regina?
559
00:23:09,264 --> 00:23:10,890
Would you like
to share anything today?
560
00:23:16,271 --> 00:23:17,564
That's totally okay.
561
00:23:21,943 --> 00:23:23,111
Traci?
562
00:23:24,612 --> 00:23:26,364
And there's no pressure at all.
563
00:23:26,364 --> 00:23:27,574
I feel angry.
564
00:23:29,284 --> 00:23:30,910
Okay.
565
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:32,829
That's all
I really want to say.
566
00:23:35,957 --> 00:23:36,958
Thank you for sharing.
567
00:23:41,963 --> 00:23:43,089
Thank you, all.
568
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:47,427
...And the fire alarm
in the kitchen was blaring.
569
00:23:47,427 --> 00:23:48,970
When the firefighters
showed up,
570
00:23:48,970 --> 00:23:50,722
I was mortified.
571
00:23:50,722 --> 00:23:52,766
I mean, it was my first time
baking all those pies at once.
572
00:23:52,766 --> 00:23:54,976
You know, Nai Nai trusted
I could do it all on my own,
573
00:23:54,976 --> 00:23:56,978
but she probably trusted me
a little too much.
574
00:23:58,938 --> 00:24:00,857
But, you know, she still gave me
another chance after that,
575
00:24:00,857 --> 00:24:02,609
and that's
what I loved about her.
576
00:24:02,609 --> 00:24:04,611
She-- she embodied
the spirit of forgiveness.
577
00:24:04,611 --> 00:24:07,197
I think your Nai Nai and I
would have made fast friends.
578
00:24:07,197 --> 00:24:08,156
No doubt about it.
579
00:24:10,992 --> 00:24:12,327
I... I have a question.
580
00:24:12,327 --> 00:24:13,828
Sure.
581
00:24:14,746 --> 00:24:17,499
Does talking about all this...
582
00:24:17,499 --> 00:24:18,875
ever make you feel like
583
00:24:18,875 --> 00:24:21,670
you're just reliving the pain
of the loss of them
584
00:24:21,670 --> 00:24:23,713
over and over again?
585
00:24:24,589 --> 00:24:26,174
I felt a lot of anger, too.
586
00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:29,969
It seemed like everyone
was trying really hard
587
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:31,012
to say the right thing.
588
00:24:32,055 --> 00:24:33,139
I appreciated their efforts,
589
00:24:33,139 --> 00:24:34,724
but I was so angry
590
00:24:34,724 --> 00:24:37,018
that nobody
could really understand.
591
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:39,896
They understand.
592
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:46,528
So...
593
00:24:46,528 --> 00:24:47,946
I just want to say,
before we close tonight,
594
00:24:47,946 --> 00:24:50,699
I need to discuss
one small order of business.
595
00:24:52,492 --> 00:24:53,827
Now, I know we all know
596
00:24:53,827 --> 00:24:55,620
that helping others
during the holiday season,
597
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:57,706
it's a big thing
of what we do here,
598
00:24:57,706 --> 00:25:00,333
so we are all volunteering
at the children's youth center
599
00:25:00,333 --> 00:25:01,543
this Sunday
600
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:03,003
for the Polar Express
Christmas Party.
601
00:25:03,003 --> 00:25:05,672
But we have to all discuss
how we can contribute, so...
602
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:06,840
I've got baked goods covered.
603
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:07,966
Check.
604
00:25:07,966 --> 00:25:09,217
- I could bring some decorations.
- Love it.
605
00:25:09,217 --> 00:25:10,343
I can handle story-telling.
606
00:25:10,343 --> 00:25:12,595
Good. Okay.
607
00:25:12,595 --> 00:25:14,055
There's one thing missing.
608
00:25:14,055 --> 00:25:16,224
We need somebody who can
actually help paint toy trains.
609
00:25:19,019 --> 00:25:21,062
Man, I wish we knew somebody
with that skill set...
610
00:25:28,403 --> 00:25:29,404
I will be there.
611
00:25:29,404 --> 00:25:31,114
Great! Thank you, Traci!
612
00:25:31,114 --> 00:25:32,198
Yes.
613
00:25:32,198 --> 00:25:33,241
All right, session complete.
614
00:25:33,241 --> 00:25:34,617
See you all this weekend.
615
00:26:05,273 --> 00:26:06,358
Hi.
616
00:26:06,358 --> 00:26:07,984
Hey.
617
00:26:14,491 --> 00:26:17,327
You seem...
618
00:26:17,327 --> 00:26:18,870
happy.
619
00:26:20,163 --> 00:26:21,331
Well, why wouldn't I be?
620
00:26:21,331 --> 00:26:22,874
Look who's sitting next to me.
621
00:26:37,472 --> 00:26:39,265
Traci! Traci!
622
00:26:39,265 --> 00:26:40,225
Hey.
623
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:41,685
Um...
624
00:26:41,685 --> 00:26:43,353
I just wanted to say
I'm glad you came tonight.
625
00:26:44,354 --> 00:26:45,397
Oh...
626
00:26:45,397 --> 00:26:46,439
All right, listen.
627
00:26:46,439 --> 00:26:47,399
Hit me with it--
first impressions?
628
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,611
Everyone was warm and welcoming.
629
00:26:51,611 --> 00:26:54,030
Sorry my contributions
were a bit...
630
00:26:55,323 --> 00:26:56,658
...minimal.
631
00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:57,784
What are you talking about?
No, they weren't at all.
632
00:26:57,784 --> 00:26:58,993
There are no expectations, ever.
633
00:26:58,993 --> 00:27:00,620
- Thank you.
- I mean, look at Regina.
634
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:01,913
She's been here
for, I think, a few months
635
00:27:01,913 --> 00:27:03,164
and has only said
a couple of words, so.
636
00:27:04,582 --> 00:27:05,875
Everybody's at their own pace.
637
00:27:08,003 --> 00:27:09,671
So, I will see you
Sunday, right?
638
00:27:10,755 --> 00:27:11,715
Paintbrush in-hand.
639
00:27:11,715 --> 00:27:13,049
Hey, I'll keep
my distance then.
640
00:27:16,177 --> 00:27:17,637
I noticed...
641
00:27:17,637 --> 00:27:20,056
that you didn't share.
642
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,768
Sorry?
643
00:27:23,768 --> 00:27:24,894
I don't mean to assume...
644
00:27:26,229 --> 00:27:27,689
Have you also lost someone?
645
00:27:30,608 --> 00:27:32,110
I mean...
Yeah, I mean...
646
00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:33,486
You know what,
you don't need to answer that.
647
00:27:33,486 --> 00:27:34,529
I should not
have asked you that.
648
00:27:34,529 --> 00:27:35,655
It's okay.
649
00:27:35,655 --> 00:27:37,198
No, it's totally okay,
all right?
650
00:27:38,241 --> 00:27:39,325
It's just, as the leader,
651
00:27:39,325 --> 00:27:40,702
I like to put my focus
on everyone else.
652
00:27:42,370 --> 00:27:43,538
But listen,
I've got to lock up.
653
00:27:43,538 --> 00:27:46,166
I'm glad you came tonight again.
654
00:27:46,166 --> 00:27:47,167
Goodnight, okay?
655
00:27:47,167 --> 00:27:48,710
Yeah.
656
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:52,339
- I'll see you Sunday?
- Yeah.
657
00:27:52,339 --> 00:27:53,423
All right!
658
00:28:06,561 --> 00:28:08,146
Trace?
659
00:28:10,065 --> 00:28:12,400
Picked you up
some morning motivation!
660
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,778
Peppermint mocha!
661
00:28:18,198 --> 00:28:21,159
How are you so joyful
so early in the morning?
662
00:28:21,159 --> 00:28:23,286
"Joy"-- it's right there
in my name!
663
00:28:25,288 --> 00:28:26,456
- Hi.
- Hi.
664
00:28:27,665 --> 00:28:29,209
Oh!
665
00:28:29,209 --> 00:28:30,085
Oh, no, no, no, no.
666
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:31,378
It's not there yet, it's not,
667
00:28:31,378 --> 00:28:33,380
but at least I was able
to get some work done
668
00:28:33,380 --> 00:28:34,547
after last night.
669
00:28:34,547 --> 00:28:36,633
Oh! After the group, right?
670
00:28:36,633 --> 00:28:37,759
How was that?
671
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:38,968
You know what,
672
00:28:38,968 --> 00:28:42,013
it... it wasn't horrible, actually.
673
00:28:42,013 --> 00:28:44,140
I mean, I don't know
how much I'll share,
674
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:45,266
if at all,
675
00:28:45,266 --> 00:28:46,601
but it was kind of nice
676
00:28:46,601 --> 00:28:47,936
being around people
677
00:28:47,936 --> 00:28:50,063
who understood
what I was going through.
678
00:28:51,106 --> 00:28:53,024
I know, I know.
You were right.
679
00:28:54,484 --> 00:28:57,278
It seems to be having
a positive effect on your art.
680
00:28:57,278 --> 00:28:58,571
I mean, look--
681
00:28:58,571 --> 00:28:59,864
you've gone from half-paintings
682
00:28:59,864 --> 00:29:01,241
to three-fourths of paintings!
683
00:29:01,241 --> 00:29:03,576
I think that's called
deadline anxiety.
684
00:29:04,744 --> 00:29:06,329
Have you landed on a theme?
685
00:29:08,331 --> 00:29:09,499
- Ready for it?
- Mm-hmm.
686
00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:13,628
"Christmas"!
687
00:29:13,628 --> 00:29:15,422
I'm gonna need
a little more than that
688
00:29:15,422 --> 00:29:16,798
for the promotional materials.
689
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:18,717
I'll keep working on it.
690
00:29:18,717 --> 00:29:20,969
Okay, well, I'll let you be.
691
00:29:20,969 --> 00:29:25,140
Remember, the artists'
meet and greet is next week.
692
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:27,225
Talking about
what you're planning to present
693
00:29:27,225 --> 00:29:28,685
will really help generate
some buzz.
694
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:30,687
Greg used to do that.
695
00:29:30,687 --> 00:29:32,814
Hey...
696
00:29:32,814 --> 00:29:34,357
you're not gonna be
alone up there.
697
00:29:35,817 --> 00:29:38,361
I'll be right next to you
if you need me.
698
00:29:39,612 --> 00:29:40,864
Thank you.
699
00:29:42,615 --> 00:29:44,159
I'm gonna work
for a few more hours,
700
00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:46,828
and then I'm gonna meet Michael
at the youth center.
701
00:29:46,828 --> 00:29:48,079
Michael?
702
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:49,873
Uh, he leads the support group,
703
00:29:49,873 --> 00:29:51,124
and we're--
704
00:29:51,124 --> 00:29:52,167
we're volunteering
at the youth center today.
705
00:29:52,167 --> 00:29:53,251
Great.
706
00:29:53,251 --> 00:29:54,502
Oh, wait--
707
00:29:54,502 --> 00:29:55,670
he's the guy,
708
00:29:55,670 --> 00:29:56,921
the one from the market,
709
00:29:56,921 --> 00:29:57,922
with the ornament.
710
00:29:57,922 --> 00:29:59,257
The handsome one
711
00:29:59,257 --> 00:30:01,176
who got all shy around you
like a boy with a crush?
712
00:30:01,176 --> 00:30:03,595
I think we're remembering
that moment differently,
713
00:30:03,595 --> 00:30:04,763
but yes.
714
00:30:04,763 --> 00:30:06,473
Mm-hmm.
715
00:30:06,473 --> 00:30:07,515
What are the odds
716
00:30:07,515 --> 00:30:08,975
you'd bump into him
at the market?
717
00:30:12,562 --> 00:30:15,398
Maybe that divine meeting
was just meant to be.
718
00:30:17,025 --> 00:30:18,360
I don't know
that I really believe
719
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,737
that anything
is "meant to be" anymore.
720
00:30:20,737 --> 00:30:22,364
But you know
what I do believe in?
721
00:30:22,364 --> 00:30:23,365
Hmm?
722
00:30:23,365 --> 00:30:24,657
- Coffee.
- Coffee!
723
00:30:24,657 --> 00:30:25,909
- Coffee.
- Coffee.

00:30:57,232 --> 00:30:58,733
Yes! Yes!
732
00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:00,110
Take five, guys.
I appreciate that.
733
00:31:00,110 --> 00:31:01,778
Thank you, thank you.
734
00:31:01,778 --> 00:31:02,946
All right.
735
00:31:04,489 --> 00:31:05,949
Regina! Hey!
736
00:31:07,575 --> 00:31:08,535
Hi.
737
00:31:09,786 --> 00:31:10,954
Any chance
we'll see you back up here
738
00:31:10,954 --> 00:31:12,330
one of these Sundays, or?
739
00:31:13,415 --> 00:31:14,457
Maybe.
740
00:31:14,457 --> 00:31:17,293
The choir
isn't the same without you.
741
00:31:18,795 --> 00:31:19,963
I miss you.
742
00:31:23,258 --> 00:31:24,467
We miss you!
743
00:31:28,179 --> 00:31:29,139
And I know
she would love to hear you
744
00:31:29,139 --> 00:31:30,432
up there again, too.
745
00:31:35,645 --> 00:31:36,646
I'll... I'll see you soon.
746
00:31:36,646 --> 00:31:37,647
Hey...
747
00:31:42,861 --> 00:31:44,821
All right, y'all.
748
00:31:44,821 --> 00:31:45,989
Round two!
749
00:31:53,621 --> 00:31:54,622
Hello, Michael!
750
00:31:54,622 --> 00:31:56,374
Denise, hey!
751
00:31:56,374 --> 00:31:57,834
Merry Christmas.
752
00:31:57,834 --> 00:31:58,960
So, listen, I've got clothes,
753
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,795
I've got books,
I've got toys galore.
754
00:32:00,795 --> 00:32:02,297
Well, on behalf
of me and the kids,
755
00:32:02,297 --> 00:32:03,882
it's always
very much appreciated.
756
00:32:03,882 --> 00:32:05,342
Well, I appreciate you.
757
00:32:05,342 --> 00:32:07,594
Um, I've got to get
all of these boxes in there
758
00:32:07,594 --> 00:32:08,887
before the group arrives, so.
759
00:32:08,887 --> 00:32:10,805
- Hey.
- Yeah?
760
00:32:10,805 --> 00:32:13,516
I'm a little worried about you.
761
00:32:13,516 --> 00:32:15,518
Yeah, I'm doing fine.
762
00:32:15,518 --> 00:32:16,895
I'm fine. No.
763
00:32:16,895 --> 00:32:18,563
I'm just trying to help out
wherever there's a need.
764
00:32:18,563 --> 00:32:19,522
Just like Melody did.
765
00:32:21,816 --> 00:32:23,193
I've known you and Melody
for years now,
766
00:32:23,193 --> 00:32:25,070
so I think I can say this...
767
00:32:26,446 --> 00:32:27,781
It seems like
you're trying to atone
768
00:32:27,781 --> 00:32:29,532
for something
you had no control over.
769
00:32:32,869 --> 00:32:34,329
Denise, I don't know
what else to do.
770
00:32:34,329 --> 00:32:35,872
Okay?
771
00:32:35,872 --> 00:32:37,665
I know this isn't
going to bring her back,
772
00:32:37,665 --> 00:32:39,793
but it definitely
eases the guilt.
773
00:32:39,793 --> 00:32:41,670
You have nothing
to feel guilty about.
774
00:32:44,547 --> 00:32:46,132
Well, listen...
775
00:32:46,132 --> 00:32:48,218
would you mind helping me
finish all these?
776
00:33:08,988 --> 00:33:12,659
♪ Feel the magic
once again ♪
777
00:33:12,659 --> 00:33:14,411
♪ It's coming, it's coming ♪
778
00:33:14,411 --> 00:33:16,204
♪ Christmas ♪
779
00:33:16,204 --> 00:33:21,042
♪ Gather family
Bring your friends... ♪
780
00:33:21,042 --> 00:33:22,627
- You're getting a workout.
- Tell me about it.
781
00:33:22,627 --> 00:33:25,088
Makes up for all those weeks
I skipped leg day.
782
00:33:27,924 --> 00:33:29,092
Hey, tell you what--
783
00:33:29,092 --> 00:33:30,552
why don't you and I
do some face painting?
784
00:33:31,594 --> 00:33:33,138
And then we give
Conductor Michael here
785
00:33:33,138 --> 00:33:34,139
a little bit of a break.
786
00:33:34,139 --> 00:33:35,348
What do you think?
787
00:33:35,348 --> 00:33:36,266
All right.
788
00:33:36,266 --> 00:33:37,183
All right, come on.
789
00:33:37,183 --> 00:33:38,351
One, two, three-- Oh!
790
00:33:39,436 --> 00:33:40,645
All right, so here's the deal.
791
00:33:40,645 --> 00:33:44,399
The key is you just
have to sit super still--
792
00:33:44,399 --> 00:33:45,567
Cookies!
793
00:33:45,567 --> 00:33:46,484
There she goes.
794
00:33:48,611 --> 00:33:49,612
There goes my subject.
795
00:33:50,905 --> 00:33:51,948
Well, you know what,
I'll be your muse.
796
00:33:51,948 --> 00:33:53,116
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
797
00:33:57,078 --> 00:33:58,580
- Here we go...
- All right.
798
00:33:58,580 --> 00:33:59,581
Are you ready for this?
799
00:33:59,581 --> 00:34:00,790
Yeah. Make me pretty.
800
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,128
All right...
801
00:34:05,128 --> 00:34:06,588
- Okay.
- Okay.
802
00:34:07,547 --> 00:34:08,798
You know,
you're really good with kids.
803
00:34:09,924 --> 00:34:11,134
How can you not love them?
804
00:34:11,134 --> 00:34:13,386
They inspire me
to have "child-like faith".
805
00:34:15,180 --> 00:34:16,264
I guess you're right.
806
00:34:21,061 --> 00:34:22,479
All right.
807
00:34:23,438 --> 00:34:25,940
This might truly be
my best work yet.
808
00:34:25,940 --> 00:34:27,108
Really?
809
00:34:27,108 --> 00:34:28,902
- I mean... yes.
- Drumroll.
810
00:34:28,902 --> 00:34:30,362
Pretty amazing.
811
00:34:32,489 --> 00:34:33,448
Ta-dah!
812
00:34:33,448 --> 00:34:35,200
Oh! Wow!
813
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,284
Oh, no.
I'm not done.
814
00:34:36,284 --> 00:34:37,869
I'm going into Vogue.
815
00:34:37,869 --> 00:34:38,912
I'm not done!
816
00:34:38,912 --> 00:34:39,996
Here we go!
817
00:34:39,996 --> 00:34:41,122
Now you're done.
818
00:34:41,122 --> 00:34:42,540
Oh, that's...
819
00:34:43,625 --> 00:34:46,002
Guys, come look at
Conductor Michael!
820
00:34:46,002 --> 00:34:48,254
I mean, look at this.
821
00:34:48,254 --> 00:34:49,964
- Rudolph the Reindeer!
- Rudolph the Reindeer!
822
00:34:49,964 --> 00:34:51,383
Rudolph the Reindeer!
823
00:35:04,688 --> 00:35:06,189
Those kids had a blast!
824
00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:08,274
I think
the more exhausted we were,
825
00:35:08,274 --> 00:35:09,901
the more fun they had.
826
00:35:09,901 --> 00:35:10,902
That's a good way
of putting it.
827
00:35:10,902 --> 00:35:12,028
I'm spent.
828
00:35:12,028 --> 00:35:12,946
Listen, guys,
I want to thank you
829
00:35:12,946 --> 00:35:14,030
for your hard work today.
830
00:35:14,030 --> 00:35:16,658
It was such
a special, special day.
831
00:35:16,658 --> 00:35:17,867
Good job.
832
00:35:21,204 --> 00:35:22,706
Do you want me
to put it over here?
833
00:35:22,706 --> 00:35:24,374
No, let's just
put all the stuff down here.
834
00:35:42,809 --> 00:35:45,186
The doctor said not to worry.
835
00:35:45,186 --> 00:35:47,230
You've got the best care
in the world.
836
00:35:48,189 --> 00:35:49,357
How are you?
837
00:35:52,444 --> 00:35:53,987
Always putting others first.
838
00:35:55,905 --> 00:35:57,407
I love
your big, beautiful heart.
839
00:35:59,868 --> 00:36:01,745
At least that's one part of me
that's still in good shape.
840
00:36:10,670 --> 00:36:12,422
I'm gonna be home
before you know it.
841
00:36:12,422 --> 00:36:15,508
We're gonna be painting...
842
00:36:15,508 --> 00:36:17,385
eating too many
Christmas cookies.
843
00:36:18,762 --> 00:36:19,763
Singing in church...
844
00:36:22,265 --> 00:36:23,767
Front row?
845
00:36:24,851 --> 00:36:26,394
Best seats in the house.
846
00:36:29,105 --> 00:36:31,316
Yeah.
847
00:36:49,209 --> 00:36:51,002
"Best seats in the house."
848
00:37:12,190 --> 00:37:14,484
- Hey, Trace!
- Hi!
849
00:37:16,361 --> 00:37:18,905
December 15th!
850
00:37:18,905 --> 00:37:20,073
Don't remind me.
851
00:37:20,073 --> 00:37:22,325
The gallery is neigh.
852
00:37:22,325 --> 00:37:23,868
Don't you mean "nigh"?
853
00:37:23,868 --> 00:37:27,122
I like "neigh,"
like the reindeer would say.
854
00:37:27,122 --> 00:37:28,415
'Tis the season, right?
855
00:37:29,833 --> 00:37:30,875
Thank you!
856
00:37:30,875 --> 00:37:33,670
Got a front-page ad
for your exhibit!
857
00:37:33,670 --> 00:37:34,796
Oh, man.
858
00:37:34,796 --> 00:37:37,716
And top billing
on the gallery invite.
859
00:37:38,675 --> 00:37:43,972
"Traci Fremont returns
for a holiday surprise."
860
00:37:43,972 --> 00:37:45,056
You're a genius.
861
00:37:45,056 --> 00:37:47,225
It'll add intrigue,
862
00:37:47,225 --> 00:37:48,935
and give you more time
to pick a theme.
863
00:37:48,935 --> 00:37:51,271
Now, don't forget,
meet and greet is on Thursday.
864
00:37:51,271 --> 00:37:52,647
Think you could have it
figured out by then?
865
00:37:54,232 --> 00:37:56,860
Traci Fremont's Return...
866
00:37:56,860 --> 00:37:58,403
Is Neigh."
867
00:38:00,739 --> 00:38:01,990
- Yeah.
- I'll keep working on it.
868
00:38:01,990 --> 00:38:03,033
Okay.
869
00:38:11,666 --> 00:38:13,001
Oh...
870
00:38:13,001 --> 00:38:14,169
it all looks so good.
871
00:38:16,713 --> 00:38:18,214
How much for one of everything?
872
00:38:18,214 --> 00:38:19,299
Traci?
873
00:38:19,299 --> 00:38:20,842
After all your stories,
874
00:38:20,842 --> 00:38:22,761
I feel like I'm visiting
a historical landmark.
875
00:38:22,761 --> 00:38:25,138
Yeah. Well, in a way,
it kind of is one.
876
00:38:25,138 --> 00:38:26,723
Are you headed to group soon?
877
00:38:26,723 --> 00:38:27,640
Yeah.
878
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,184
I just gotta put
some stuff away.
879
00:38:29,184 --> 00:38:30,435
Did you--
did you wanna walk together?
880
00:38:31,478 --> 00:38:32,604
I would love that.
881
00:38:32,604 --> 00:38:33,855
Cool.
882
00:38:33,855 --> 00:38:35,648
Ooh, one last thing.
883
00:38:36,941 --> 00:38:38,902
Compliments of the chef.
884
00:38:38,902 --> 00:38:39,944
How can I resist?
885
00:38:39,944 --> 00:38:40,945
Let me see...
886
00:38:42,113 --> 00:38:43,365
Maybe this.
887
00:38:43,365 --> 00:38:44,324
Best choice.
888
00:38:44,324 --> 00:38:45,492
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
889
00:38:50,246 --> 00:38:51,706
Mm...
890
00:38:51,706 --> 00:38:52,999
Mm!
891
00:38:52,999 --> 00:38:56,503
Wait, is this chocolate
inside a chocolate donut
892
00:38:56,503 --> 00:38:58,421
with chocolate frosting
and chocolate sprinkles?
893
00:38:58,421 --> 00:38:59,631
Oh, yeah!
894
00:38:59,631 --> 00:39:01,966
That is Nai Nai's
quadruple chocolate donut.
895
00:39:01,966 --> 00:39:03,343
It's about
a week's worth of calories.
896
00:39:03,343 --> 00:39:04,302
Worth it.
897
00:39:04,302 --> 00:39:05,595
That's what they say.
898
00:39:07,263 --> 00:39:08,306
Now...
899
00:39:08,306 --> 00:39:09,557
has your dad tried this?
900
00:39:10,934 --> 00:39:12,102
He...
901
00:39:12,102 --> 00:39:13,478
won't even set foot in here.
902
00:39:13,478 --> 00:39:16,564
I think if your dad
could see, or, rather, taste,
903
00:39:16,564 --> 00:39:19,025
how talented you are...
904
00:39:19,025 --> 00:39:20,068
he'd be more supportive.
905
00:39:20,068 --> 00:39:21,194
Right.
906
00:39:21,194 --> 00:39:22,946
But...
907
00:39:22,946 --> 00:39:24,864
that would just require us
to have a conversation first.
908
00:39:26,491 --> 00:39:27,617
I'll be right back.
909
00:39:31,121 --> 00:39:32,956
For sure...
910
00:39:32,956 --> 00:39:34,082
Um...
911
00:39:34,082 --> 00:39:35,125
I'll see you in there.
912
00:39:35,125 --> 00:39:36,459
Oh, do you mind taking this?
913
00:39:36,459 --> 00:39:37,836
Thanks.
914
00:39:40,213 --> 00:39:41,089
"The Best Seats in the House".
915
00:39:42,173 --> 00:39:43,133
Hey.
916
00:39:43,133 --> 00:39:44,384
Hey!
917
00:39:44,384 --> 00:39:46,011
I'm sorry, what was that?
918
00:39:47,012 --> 00:39:49,347
That's what Greg always called
the front row--
919
00:39:49,347 --> 00:39:50,306
"The Best Seats in the House".
920
00:39:50,306 --> 00:39:51,266
Oh, right.
921
00:39:51,266 --> 00:39:52,517
Well...
922
00:39:52,517 --> 00:39:53,476
he definitely wasn't wrong.
923
00:39:53,476 --> 00:39:54,978
I'm sorry, I'm interrupting--
924
00:39:54,978 --> 00:39:56,229
No, no, no, no.
925
00:39:56,229 --> 00:39:57,689
No. You're not interrupting
at all, actually.
926
00:39:57,689 --> 00:39:59,024
I just--
927
00:39:59,024 --> 00:40:00,483
I always come here early
to pray for the group, so.
928
00:40:00,483 --> 00:40:01,651
Any requests?
929
00:40:04,112 --> 00:40:05,196
Where does one begin?
930
00:40:06,364 --> 00:40:08,158
You know, I have a...
931
00:40:08,158 --> 00:40:09,367
- a deadline...
- Hmm.
932
00:40:09,367 --> 00:40:10,994
...and no idea what to present.
933
00:40:10,994 --> 00:40:12,787
So...
934
00:40:12,787 --> 00:40:13,747
a miracle?
935
00:40:14,998 --> 00:40:15,999
A miracle it is.
936
00:40:23,214 --> 00:40:25,550
Do you ever wonder if it...
937
00:40:25,550 --> 00:40:26,760
if it doesn't work?
938
00:40:28,386 --> 00:40:31,181
Hmm.
939
00:40:31,181 --> 00:40:33,683
You know, I think...
940
00:40:33,683 --> 00:40:35,727
I think a small degree of doubt
is normal.
941
00:40:35,727 --> 00:40:39,522
But I also believe that
God answers prayers sometimes
942
00:40:39,522 --> 00:40:40,899
in ways we don't expect.
943
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,902
Hmm.
944
00:40:46,488 --> 00:40:47,697
I stopped praying.
945
00:40:49,407 --> 00:40:50,325
When I lost him.
946
00:40:53,036 --> 00:40:54,371
It just...
947
00:40:54,371 --> 00:40:55,538
feels so wrong to say that.
948
00:40:55,538 --> 00:40:56,915
Hey, hey, hey...
949
00:40:59,084 --> 00:41:00,043
...it's not.
950
00:41:01,419 --> 00:41:02,712
It's normal.
951
00:41:04,381 --> 00:41:05,632
It's honest.
952
00:41:06,591 --> 00:41:07,842
And it's honest.
953
00:41:07,842 --> 00:41:08,968
Yes.
954
00:41:11,262 --> 00:41:13,682
I hope I wasn't being rude
955
00:41:13,682 --> 00:41:15,725
whenever I asked you
if you had lost someone.
956
00:41:15,725 --> 00:41:16,685
No.
957
00:41:16,685 --> 00:41:18,436
No, you weren't rude at all.
958
00:41:18,436 --> 00:41:19,646
It's okay.
959
00:41:21,690 --> 00:41:22,857
The truth is...
960
00:41:26,111 --> 00:41:27,112
...I have lost someone.
961
00:41:28,446 --> 00:41:30,115
- I'm really sorry.
- That's okay.
962
00:41:31,282 --> 00:41:33,910
We don't have to talk about it.
Honestly, I--
963
00:41:33,910 --> 00:41:36,037
I couldn't really
help you anyway.
964
00:41:36,037 --> 00:41:40,583
I mean, my faith
is not exactly sturdy, so.
965
00:41:40,583 --> 00:41:43,086
Well, in that case...
966
00:41:43,086 --> 00:41:44,629
You know, God says
967
00:41:44,629 --> 00:41:45,630
all you need is to have faith
the size of a mustard seed.
968
00:41:46,715 --> 00:41:48,091
I have a feeling
you have that much.
969
00:41:52,929 --> 00:41:54,973
Why do you think
things like this happen?
970
00:41:57,475 --> 00:41:58,977
I think it's a reminder.
971
00:42:01,730 --> 00:42:03,565
To always live each day
to the fullest,
972
00:42:03,565 --> 00:42:06,609
but also I think it's a way
973
00:42:06,609 --> 00:42:09,237
for Him to show us...
974
00:42:09,237 --> 00:42:11,906
how He restores and heals us.
975
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:15,160
And all we have to do is pray.
976
00:42:22,667 --> 00:42:24,461
Great photos, guys.
977
00:42:24,461 --> 00:42:26,004
I really love seeing
what you did here.
978
00:42:28,757 --> 00:42:30,008
I think I'm ready to share.
979
00:42:34,054 --> 00:42:35,013
Okay.
980
00:42:36,139 --> 00:42:37,265
Um...
981
00:42:37,265 --> 00:42:40,518
my husband, Greg, and I
met six years ago
982
00:42:40,518 --> 00:42:41,936
in art class.
983
00:42:43,355 --> 00:42:46,358
My parents said that we were
a "match made in heaven".
984
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,694
So, we got married,
985
00:42:49,694 --> 00:42:52,155
and I felt like
986
00:42:52,155 --> 00:42:54,449
God gave me everything
I could have ever wanted.
987
00:42:55,533 --> 00:42:56,910
Yeah.
988
00:42:58,244 --> 00:43:00,038
Until I lost it all.
989
00:43:04,209 --> 00:43:06,086
Greg had a brain tumor.
990
00:43:09,339 --> 00:43:10,382
The doctors tried,
991
00:43:10,382 --> 00:43:12,050
but...
992
00:43:15,261 --> 00:43:16,429
I miss him every day.
993
00:43:21,059 --> 00:43:22,102
You know, Traci,
994
00:43:22,102 --> 00:43:24,062
that takes...
995
00:43:24,062 --> 00:43:25,939
a lot of courage
to open up like that.
996
00:43:27,273 --> 00:43:29,234
I hope you believe me
when I say this...
997
00:43:30,735 --> 00:43:31,945
...that's what healing
looks like.
998
00:43:34,781 --> 00:43:36,199
Can we pray for you?
999
00:43:36,199 --> 00:43:37,325
Yeah.
1000
00:43:40,328 --> 00:43:41,246
Yeah.
1001
00:43:47,585 --> 00:43:48,795
Heavenly Father,
I want to thank you...
1002
00:43:50,630 --> 00:43:51,881
...for a wonderful day.
1003
00:43:53,675 --> 00:43:54,884
But also for a day
1004
00:43:54,884 --> 00:43:56,052
where you showed us
1005
00:43:56,052 --> 00:43:57,345
that,
1006
00:43:57,345 --> 00:43:59,264
even within our grief,
1007
00:43:59,264 --> 00:44:01,266
we can find joy.
1008
00:44:04,102 --> 00:44:05,770
As we leave this place today,
1009
00:44:05,770 --> 00:44:07,355
bless us...
1010
00:44:09,691 --> 00:44:11,234
...and comfort us.
1011
00:44:16,573 --> 00:44:17,574
I don't think
I can do this.
1012
00:44:17,574 --> 00:44:19,451
Just be yourself!
1013
00:44:19,451 --> 00:44:21,619
You really want me to do that?
1014
00:44:21,619 --> 00:44:22,787
I haven't finished my art,
1015
00:44:22,787 --> 00:44:23,788
I don't have a theme,
1016
00:44:23,788 --> 00:44:24,998
and I clam up
1017
00:44:24,998 --> 00:44:26,458
when talking in front of people.
1018
00:44:26,458 --> 00:44:28,293
Your art will be finished,
1019
00:44:28,293 --> 00:44:30,795
you can tease them
with the element of surprise,
1020
00:44:30,795 --> 00:44:33,798
and, most importantly,
you're here.
1021
00:44:33,798 --> 00:44:35,216
Okay? You'll be fine.
1022
00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:38,678
Ladies and gentlemen,
1023
00:44:38,678 --> 00:44:40,388
may I have
your attention, please?
1024
00:44:40,388 --> 00:44:41,848
Thank you for coming
1025
00:44:41,848 --> 00:44:44,476
to the pre-gallery
artist meet and greet!
1026
00:44:44,476 --> 00:44:49,314
Let's start with
our very own Traci Fremont!
1027
00:44:56,863 --> 00:44:58,114
Hey, everyone.
1028
00:44:59,699 --> 00:45:01,534
Um, it's good to see you again.
1029
00:45:04,579 --> 00:45:06,373
You may have noticed
I'm here solo.
1030
00:45:08,375 --> 00:45:12,337
Two years ago,
I lost my husband, Greg.
1031
00:45:12,337 --> 00:45:14,047
Now he would, you know,
1032
00:45:14,047 --> 00:45:18,051
probably warm you all up
with a really great joke.
1033
00:45:18,051 --> 00:45:20,136
I don't have one of those
in my pocket.
1034
00:45:26,601 --> 00:45:27,644
To be honest,
1035
00:45:27,644 --> 00:45:29,020
it has just been--
it's hard.
1036
00:45:30,355 --> 00:45:31,398
It's been really hard.
1037
00:45:33,274 --> 00:45:36,027
When you feel like
half of you is missing,
1038
00:45:36,027 --> 00:45:37,654
how do you move forward?
1039
00:45:37,654 --> 00:45:38,571
You know?
1040
00:45:42,492 --> 00:45:45,120
So...
1041
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,206
you are going to see
a new version
1042
00:45:48,206 --> 00:45:50,083
of the Fremont series this year.
1043
00:45:52,419 --> 00:45:53,378
One of...
1044
00:45:53,378 --> 00:45:55,130
resilience...
1045
00:45:57,257 --> 00:45:58,258
...and healing.
1046
00:46:00,635 --> 00:46:01,886
And it's probably
going to be messy,
1047
00:46:01,886 --> 00:46:03,430
because that's life...
1048
00:46:05,598 --> 00:46:06,683
...but I really do believe
1049
00:46:06,683 --> 00:46:09,519
that that's where
true beauty is found.
1050
00:46:11,938 --> 00:46:14,190
So I hope you come
and check out my exhibit.
1051
00:46:14,190 --> 00:46:15,191
Thank you.
1052
00:46:22,657 --> 00:46:24,075
What. Was. That.
1053
00:46:25,618 --> 00:46:26,828
I don't know what came over me,
it just kinda spilled out.
1054
00:46:26,828 --> 00:46:28,580
And it was amazing!
1055
00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:30,290
- Really?
- Yes!
1056
00:46:30,290 --> 00:46:31,416
The perfect way
1057
00:46:31,416 --> 00:46:32,625
to channel your feelings
into your work!
1058
00:46:32,625 --> 00:46:33,710
You hit a home run.
1059
00:46:33,710 --> 00:46:35,045
I almost ran out of here.
1060
00:46:35,045 --> 00:46:37,088
You managed
to pull it together.
1061
00:46:37,088 --> 00:46:40,133
It was a Christmas miracle, perhaps?
1062
00:46:41,051 --> 00:46:42,218
Whatever it was, it worked.
1063
00:46:42,218 --> 00:46:43,678
It was the support group,
wasn't it?
1064
00:46:43,678 --> 00:46:45,472
I knew it!
I'm always right!
1065
00:46:45,472 --> 00:46:47,140
Calm down.
1066
00:46:47,140 --> 00:46:49,100
You're giving yourself just
a little bit too much credit.
1067
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:50,935
Oh, I don't know.
1068
00:46:50,935 --> 00:46:52,729
I think someone
is looking out for you.

Hi, sweetie.
1076
00:47:35,939 --> 00:47:37,565
- Hi!
- Hi!
1077
00:47:37,565 --> 00:47:38,733
Wow!
1078
00:47:38,733 --> 00:47:39,984
Who did you hire
1079
00:47:39,984 --> 00:47:41,861
to make this place
all sparkly and shiny?
1080
00:47:41,861 --> 00:47:43,988
Well, I did it all by myself.
1081
00:47:43,988 --> 00:47:46,199
With the help of
five to six cups of coffee.
1082
00:47:47,701 --> 00:47:49,077
Well, we brought you
some sweets
1083
00:47:49,077 --> 00:47:50,412
to fuel your work.
1084
00:47:50,412 --> 00:47:51,538
Oh!
1085
00:47:51,538 --> 00:47:52,622
Just keep them away
from your father.
1086
00:47:52,622 --> 00:47:53,748
Mm-hmm.
1087
00:47:53,748 --> 00:47:55,750
Hey, I had a carrot yesterday!
1088
00:47:55,750 --> 00:47:57,544
And it wasn't even in a cake.
1089
00:47:57,544 --> 00:47:58,586
Oh.
1090
00:47:58,586 --> 00:47:59,754
Well, I'm very proud of you.
1091
00:48:02,924 --> 00:48:04,843
Huh.
1092
00:48:04,843 --> 00:48:05,885
Something tells me
1093
00:48:05,885 --> 00:48:06,928
that you guys
didn't just stop by
1094
00:48:06,928 --> 00:48:08,555
to give me some sweets.
1095
00:48:10,306 --> 00:48:11,766
We heard about
your support group.
1096
00:48:11,766 --> 00:48:13,268
Ah, Joyce.
1097
00:48:14,227 --> 00:48:15,478
We think it's wonderful
1098
00:48:15,478 --> 00:48:16,521
that you're getting yourself
back out there,
1099
00:48:16,521 --> 00:48:18,356
and we want to hear
all about it!
1100
00:48:18,356 --> 00:48:20,442
Who's this
Michael fella anyway?
1101
00:48:20,442 --> 00:48:21,860
Okay, Dad.
1102
00:48:21,860 --> 00:48:22,819
He's just a friend.
1103
00:48:22,819 --> 00:48:24,237
Friends are good.
1104
00:48:25,530 --> 00:48:26,406
Yes...
1105
00:48:26,406 --> 00:48:28,241
friends have been really good.
1106
00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:34,622
- Hey!
- Hey!
1107
00:48:34,622 --> 00:48:35,707
This was on your door.
1108
00:48:35,707 --> 00:48:36,791
Thank you!
1109
00:48:37,792 --> 00:48:39,294
So much.
1110
00:48:42,005 --> 00:48:43,548
Well, this is interesting.
1111
00:48:43,548 --> 00:48:44,716
What?
1112
00:48:44,716 --> 00:48:45,884
A text from Michael.
1113
00:48:45,884 --> 00:48:47,010
He says,
"Meet me in front of the church
1114
00:48:47,010 --> 00:48:48,053
tomorrow at 5:00 a.m.
1115
00:48:48,053 --> 00:48:49,346
And dress warm!"
1116
00:48:49,346 --> 00:48:50,513
Thank you.
1117
00:48:50,513 --> 00:48:52,057
Winky face.
1118
00:48:52,057 --> 00:48:53,308
Winky face, huh?
1119
00:48:53,308 --> 00:48:54,559
Yeah...
1120
00:48:54,559 --> 00:48:55,602
It's to the whole group.
1121
00:48:57,437 --> 00:48:58,980
Well, I wonder
what he has planned.
1122
00:48:58,980 --> 00:48:59,939
It better be good.
1123
00:48:59,939 --> 00:49:01,107
5:00 a.m.?
1124
00:49:03,693 --> 00:49:05,570
What's his story anyway?
1125
00:49:05,570 --> 00:49:06,571
I don't know.
1126
00:49:06,571 --> 00:49:07,614
He hasn't told me it,
1127
00:49:07,614 --> 00:49:09,324
but I'm sure he will
when he's ready.
1128
00:49:11,701 --> 00:49:13,578
Good Morning, everyone!
1129
00:49:13,578 --> 00:49:15,663
Who's ready for
a winter wonderland adventure?
1130
00:49:15,663 --> 00:49:16,915
I'm ready for a nap.
1131
00:49:16,915 --> 00:49:18,124
I second that.
1132
00:49:18,124 --> 00:49:19,918
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
1133
00:49:19,918 --> 00:49:21,127
- Here you go.
- Lifesaver.
1134
00:49:22,128 --> 00:49:23,421
Let me guess,
you're not a morning person?
1135
00:49:23,421 --> 00:49:24,839
I'm about to be.
1136
00:49:24,839 --> 00:49:27,175
All right, I am
your tour guide this morning
1137
00:49:27,175 --> 00:49:29,511
as we head
to a very special location.
1138
00:49:29,511 --> 00:49:30,762
Thank you.
1139
00:49:30,762 --> 00:49:32,180
All aboard!
1140
00:49:34,057 --> 00:49:35,600
- You're in?
- Yeah.
1141
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:36,810
Groovy.
1142
00:49:46,027 --> 00:49:47,737
I know it's early
and it's dark outside, guys,
1143
00:49:47,737 --> 00:49:48,947
but trust me,
1144
00:49:48,947 --> 00:49:50,073
if you look
outside the window,
1145
00:49:50,073 --> 00:49:51,825
you'll see this gorgeous--
1146
00:49:59,541 --> 00:50:00,667
Okay.
1147
00:50:00,667 --> 00:50:02,168
Night-night, guys.
1148
00:50:03,503 --> 00:50:04,671
How about you?
You still awake?
1149
00:50:08,508 --> 00:50:09,467
You all right?
1150
00:50:09,467 --> 00:50:11,678
Yeah... yeah.
1151
00:50:11,678 --> 00:50:13,138
Just thinking.
1152
00:50:13,138 --> 00:50:15,306
Well, I'll tell you what...
1153
00:50:15,306 --> 00:50:18,309
I bet I can make you laugh
by the end of this trip.
1154
00:50:23,023 --> 00:50:23,940
What are the stakes?
1155
00:50:23,940 --> 00:50:25,608
Ooh.
1156
00:50:25,608 --> 00:50:26,693
Okay.
1157
00:50:26,693 --> 00:50:27,944
You drive
a hard bargain there, Traci.
1158
00:50:27,944 --> 00:50:29,320
The stakes are...
1159
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,614
the loser buys the winner
1160
00:50:31,614 --> 00:50:33,825
a dozen sweet treats
of their choice
1161
00:50:33,825 --> 00:50:34,826
from Nai Nai's bakery.
1162
00:50:34,826 --> 00:50:36,911
What do you think?
1163
00:50:36,911 --> 00:50:38,371
Deal.
1164
00:50:39,164 --> 00:50:40,540
You're on.
1165
00:50:56,556 --> 00:50:57,849
Well, we're almost there,
you guys.
1166
00:50:57,849 --> 00:50:59,309
Hey, listen,
1167
00:50:59,309 --> 00:51:00,727
I want to discuss
this week's theme.
1168
00:51:01,895 --> 00:51:03,563
"Finding Peace".
1169
00:51:03,563 --> 00:51:05,065
What better way
to experience that
1170
00:51:05,065 --> 00:51:06,232
than in nature, right?
1171
00:51:07,067 --> 00:51:08,193
What's our task?
1172
00:51:08,193 --> 00:51:09,569
You don't have a task, Ethel.
1173
00:51:09,569 --> 00:51:10,695
As a matter of fact,
none of you do.
1174
00:51:10,695 --> 00:51:11,696
All I want you to do...
1175
00:51:11,696 --> 00:51:13,948
stay in the moment.
1176
00:51:13,948 --> 00:51:15,408
If you have a memory or thought,
1177
00:51:15,408 --> 00:51:17,202
let it be there,
make room for it.
1178
00:51:17,202 --> 00:51:18,370
That's it.
1179
00:51:29,255 --> 00:51:30,632
Okay.
1180
00:51:30,632 --> 00:51:32,300
Yeah, now I see
why you got us up here so early.
1181
00:51:33,635 --> 00:51:34,844
Right?
1182
00:51:36,471 --> 00:51:37,972
This is where
I feel closest to God.
1183
00:51:39,599 --> 00:51:40,433
Right here.
1184
00:51:40,433 --> 00:51:42,519
The stillness, the quiet...
1185
00:51:42,519 --> 00:51:44,396
the closer proximity to Heaven.
1186
00:51:46,398 --> 00:51:47,482
It's a place you can look out
1187
00:51:47,482 --> 00:51:48,983
and see something
bigger than yourself.

Music was everything to us.
1209
00:53:23,536 --> 00:53:25,955
I lost her
only a couple of months ago.
1210
00:53:28,875 --> 00:53:29,918
My mother,
1211
00:53:29,918 --> 00:53:30,877
my singing partner...
1212
00:53:32,587 --> 00:53:34,172
...and...
1213
00:53:34,172 --> 00:53:36,925
when I lost her,
1214
00:53:36,925 --> 00:53:38,426
I...
1215
00:53:38,426 --> 00:53:39,886
also lost my voice.
1216
00:53:43,723 --> 00:53:44,516
But now, it's...
1217
00:53:44,516 --> 00:53:46,726
it's like she's here.
1218
00:53:50,230 --> 00:53:51,523
I love you.
1219
00:53:59,030 --> 00:54:00,448
That was beautiful.
1220
00:54:02,617 --> 00:54:03,618
Regina...
1221
00:54:04,744 --> 00:54:05,870
...you okay?
1222
00:54:05,870 --> 00:54:06,871
Yeah, I'm okay.
1223
00:54:08,915 --> 00:54:09,958
Um...
1224
00:54:09,958 --> 00:54:11,501
I think I'm ready
to go back down now.
1225
00:54:12,460 --> 00:54:14,421
- Thank you for sharing.
- Yeah, thanks.
1226
00:54:14,421 --> 00:54:15,755
I'm proud of you.
1227
00:54:27,809 --> 00:54:28,935
Wow.
1228
00:54:30,228 --> 00:54:31,396
She's come so far.
1229
00:54:31,396 --> 00:54:33,023
You helped make that happen.
1230
00:54:35,859 --> 00:54:36,985
Speaking of help...
1231
00:54:36,985 --> 00:54:38,236
You okay?
1232
00:54:38,236 --> 00:54:40,655
No, my back--
getting old here.
1233
00:54:40,655 --> 00:54:42,073
Think you could carry me
down to the--
1234
00:54:42,073 --> 00:54:43,033
I got you!
1235
00:54:43,033 --> 00:54:44,367
- No!
- No, no!
1236
00:54:44,367 --> 00:54:45,618
I got you.
You owe me.
1237
00:54:45,618 --> 00:54:46,828
- That does not count.
- Of course, it counts.
1238
00:54:47,996 --> 00:54:49,289
Made you laugh.
Like I told you I would.
1239
00:54:49,289 --> 00:54:50,623
Tricky.
1240
00:54:50,623 --> 00:54:52,917
Fine!
1241
00:54:52,917 --> 00:54:54,252
Oh!
1242
00:54:54,252 --> 00:54:55,462
And trust me,
1243
00:54:55,462 --> 00:54:56,254
I'm not going to have you
get me any treats,
1244
00:54:56,254 --> 00:54:57,255
or anything like that.
1245
00:54:57,255 --> 00:54:58,715
Instead, I...
1246
00:54:58,715 --> 00:55:00,133
Instead...
1247
00:55:00,133 --> 00:55:01,801
you know, I didn't know
if you might want to...
1248
00:55:01,801 --> 00:55:03,470
might want to be my partner
at the...
1249
00:55:04,721 --> 00:55:06,139
...gift-wrapping contest.
1250
00:55:09,309 --> 00:55:10,477
Like, a date?
1251
00:55:12,312 --> 00:55:13,521
Uh...
1252
00:55:14,647 --> 00:55:15,815
...yeah, I mean,
I don't know--
1253
00:55:15,815 --> 00:55:17,609
well, yeah,
I could call it a date, or...
1254
00:55:18,818 --> 00:55:20,487
...or not, or...
1255
00:55:21,613 --> 00:55:22,614
Can I think about it?
1256
00:55:22,614 --> 00:55:24,366
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1257
00:55:24,366 --> 00:55:25,575
Okay, I'm gonna just...
1258
00:55:25,575 --> 00:55:26,868
- catch up.
- Okay.
1259
00:55:41,341 --> 00:55:42,342
Everything okay, honey?
1260
00:55:42,342 --> 00:55:44,511
Yeah, yeah. Why?
1261
00:55:45,845 --> 00:55:49,265
Well, you've been twirling
that same piece of spaghetti
1262
00:55:49,265 --> 00:55:51,017
for 10 minutes.
1263
00:55:56,690 --> 00:55:57,732
Michael asked me on a date.
1264
00:55:57,732 --> 00:55:59,025
I mean, I think it was a date.
1265
00:56:00,527 --> 00:56:02,237
I don't know...
1266
00:56:02,237 --> 00:56:03,363
That's great!
1267
00:56:03,363 --> 00:56:04,989
Great?
1268
00:56:04,989 --> 00:56:05,740
From what we've heard,
1269
00:56:05,740 --> 00:56:07,701
he's an upstanding man.
1270
00:56:07,701 --> 00:56:09,160
He is.
1271
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:10,662
He's a really nice guy.
1272
00:56:11,871 --> 00:56:14,499
But...
1273
00:56:14,499 --> 00:56:15,792
what about Greg?
1274
00:56:17,377 --> 00:56:19,462
So, what, am I just
supposed to forget him
1275
00:56:19,462 --> 00:56:20,797
and move on?
1276
00:56:23,508 --> 00:56:24,926
I don't think I can do that.
1277
00:56:24,926 --> 00:56:27,929
No one's asking you
to forget about Greg.
1278
00:56:30,056 --> 00:56:31,141
But he...
1279
00:56:31,141 --> 00:56:32,017
he would want you to be happy,
1280
00:56:32,017 --> 00:56:33,768
no matter what.
1281
00:56:33,768 --> 00:56:34,769
Yes.
1282
00:56:35,895 --> 00:56:37,313
I know that you are afraid
1283
00:56:37,313 --> 00:56:39,941
to open your heart again.
1284
00:56:41,526 --> 00:56:43,987
But if there's
a little part of you
1285
00:56:43,987 --> 00:56:46,740
that thinks maybe
it's time to try...
1286
00:56:48,575 --> 00:56:49,826
...maybe that's
what you should do.
1287
00:56:53,913 --> 00:56:55,206
One small step...
1288
00:56:55,206 --> 00:56:57,542
or a date...
1289
00:56:57,542 --> 00:56:58,710
at a time.
1290
00:57:34,537 --> 00:57:36,081
You still need a partner?
1291
00:57:36,081 --> 00:57:37,290
Oh, hey.
1292
00:57:37,290 --> 00:57:38,708
Yeah, I would...
I would love one.
1293
00:57:40,794 --> 00:57:43,004
So, what was your plan
if I didn't show?
1294
00:57:44,047 --> 00:57:44,798
My plan was,
1295
00:57:44,798 --> 00:57:46,257
I was gonna use each hand
1296
00:57:46,257 --> 00:57:48,677
to wrap each one of
these presents separately,
1297
00:57:48,677 --> 00:57:50,053
and then I thought,
you know, that's not good--
1298
00:57:50,053 --> 00:57:51,179
but anyway,
I thought it might work,
1299
00:57:51,179 --> 00:57:52,347
but obviously, it's not.
1300
00:57:52,347 --> 00:57:53,723
Now, listen, I knew
you were gonna come.
1301
00:57:53,723 --> 00:57:55,183
I knew you'd show up.
It's nice to see you laugh.
1302
00:57:57,310 --> 00:57:58,812
- So we're wrapping this?
- Yes.
1303
00:57:58,812 --> 00:58:00,897
How does one wrap a bicycle
without it looking ridiculous?
1304
00:58:00,897 --> 00:58:02,273
Well, you know,
it's an art form.
1305
00:58:02,273 --> 00:58:04,818
Don't worry. You'll catch on.
Just follow my lead.
1306
00:58:04,818 --> 00:58:06,569
All right wrappers,
are you ready?
1307
00:58:06,569 --> 00:58:08,488
- Yes!
- Yes!
1308
00:58:08,488 --> 00:58:11,324
Time is important,
but aesthetic is key.
1309
00:58:11,324 --> 00:58:13,827
These gifts will be donated
to the homeless shelter,
1310
00:58:13,827 --> 00:58:16,329
but our winners
will not go away empty-handed,
1311
00:58:16,329 --> 00:58:18,373
because you're playing for...
1312
00:58:18,373 --> 00:58:20,333
an all-expense-paid ski trip
1313
00:58:20,333 --> 00:58:21,710
to Murray's Lodge!
1314
00:58:21,710 --> 00:58:23,044
- Whoa!
- What?
1315
00:58:23,044 --> 00:58:24,045
Nice, huh?
1316
00:58:25,588 --> 00:58:26,631
Don't worry, when we win,
we'll go as friends.
1317
00:58:26,631 --> 00:58:27,799
When we win?
1318
00:58:28,717 --> 00:58:30,343
- Really?
- I like your confidence.
1319
00:58:30,343 --> 00:58:31,344
Well...
1320
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:32,387
On your mark...
1321
00:58:32,387 --> 00:58:33,513
- Ready?
- All right.
1322
00:58:33,513 --> 00:58:35,682
...get set,
1323
00:58:35,682 --> 00:58:36,975

I felt so bad
for Richard and Maria.
1345
00:59:35,575 --> 00:59:37,035
Why?
1346
00:59:37,035 --> 00:59:38,495
Well, because they were
much faster than us, come on.
1347
00:59:38,495 --> 00:59:39,913
Don't feel bad for those two.
1348
00:59:39,913 --> 00:59:42,248
Come on, they've won it
the last 30 years in a row.
1349
00:59:42,248 --> 00:59:43,541
- What?
- Yeah. Yeah.
1350
00:59:43,541 --> 00:59:44,876
Not to mention, I think...
1351
00:59:44,876 --> 00:59:46,378
they're a little too proud,
by the way.
1352
00:59:50,924 --> 00:59:52,008
Thanks for coming
by the way.
1353
00:59:52,926 --> 00:59:53,927
I probably should be working,
1354
00:59:53,927 --> 00:59:56,346
but I'm...
I'm really glad I came.
1355
00:59:56,346 --> 00:59:57,639
It was fun.
1356
00:59:57,639 --> 01:00:00,266
- Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
- Yeah!
1357
01:00:00,266 --> 01:00:01,184
What do you say
1358
01:00:01,184 --> 01:00:03,144
we procrastinate
a little longer?
1359
01:00:04,521 --> 01:00:05,980
I'd say I'd love that.
1360
01:00:10,819 --> 01:00:12,821
It's a different kind
of beautiful at night, huh?
1361
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,663
Melody loved
coming down here...
1362
01:00:21,663 --> 01:00:22,789
at night
1363
01:00:22,789 --> 01:00:24,332
and looking up at the stars.
1364
01:00:29,587 --> 01:00:30,839
Can I tell you about her?
1365
01:00:32,424 --> 01:00:33,341
Are you kidding?
1366
01:00:35,176 --> 01:00:37,137
I've been waiting weeks
for this moment.
1367
01:00:37,137 --> 01:00:38,847
Please.
1368
01:00:52,444 --> 01:00:53,445
Overpack for the hike?
1369
01:00:54,487 --> 01:00:56,448
Uh, yeah, yeah.
1370
01:00:56,448 --> 01:00:57,824
Yeah, that would--
that would be an understatement,
1371
01:00:57,824 --> 01:00:59,284
wouldn't it?
1372
01:00:59,284 --> 01:01:00,744
I've seen a lot of first-timers
make the same mistake.
1373
01:01:00,744 --> 01:01:01,953
Well, the funny thing is,
I think I brought everything,
1374
01:01:01,953 --> 01:01:03,329
I just think I forgot...
1375
01:01:04,706 --> 01:01:05,582
Water?
1376
01:01:05,582 --> 01:01:06,624
Yeah.
1377
01:01:06,624 --> 01:01:07,625
I have an extra one.
1378
01:01:07,625 --> 01:01:08,835
- Really?
- Yeah.
1379
01:01:08,835 --> 01:01:10,003
- Thank you so much.
- Take it.
1380
01:01:10,003 --> 01:01:12,005
Really? Thank you.
1381
01:01:12,005 --> 01:01:13,381
I think you just saved my life.
1382
01:01:16,885 --> 01:01:18,219
So, do you...
1383
01:01:19,888 --> 01:01:21,514
...you come here often?
1384
01:01:21,514 --> 01:01:22,640
I do.
1385
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,017
It's my happy place.
1386
01:01:24,017 --> 01:01:27,145
I like to pray
as I look over the view.
1387
01:01:29,105 --> 01:01:30,482
Well, it definitely
is a stunning view, isn't it?
1388
01:01:31,524 --> 01:01:32,525
It is.
1389
01:01:33,777 --> 01:01:34,986
Listen...
1390
01:01:34,986 --> 01:01:35,904
I'm Michael, by the way.
1391
01:01:35,904 --> 01:01:37,030
Oh, I'm Melody.
1392
01:01:37,030 --> 01:01:38,114
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
1393
01:01:39,282 --> 01:01:40,950
So what do you...
what do you pray about?
1394
01:01:40,950 --> 01:01:42,494
- Today?
- Yeah.
1395
01:01:42,494 --> 01:01:43,411
The kids at the youth center.
1396
01:01:43,411 --> 01:01:44,954
Oh.
1397
01:01:44,954 --> 01:01:47,248
Every year, I deliver gifts
to make their spirits bright.
1398
01:01:49,292 --> 01:01:51,378
That's--
oh, no, you're Santa Claus!
1399
01:01:51,378 --> 01:01:52,545
You are!
1400
01:01:52,545 --> 01:01:53,588
You know, I've been wanting
to meet you
1401
01:01:53,588 --> 01:01:54,673
ever since I was a kid.
1402
01:01:54,673 --> 01:01:55,674
I've got to get your autograph?
1403
01:01:55,674 --> 01:01:56,591
Do you have a--
do I have a pen?
1404
01:01:56,591 --> 01:01:57,842
I've packed everything else.
1405
01:01:57,842 --> 01:01:59,886
You know, the season's
all about giving back.
1406
01:01:59,886 --> 01:02:01,388
Plus, giving is
my "love language".
1407
01:02:01,388 --> 01:02:02,847
Hmm.
1408
01:02:02,847 --> 01:02:04,641
I like that.
1409
01:02:04,641 --> 01:02:05,684
I think mine's pizza.
1410
01:02:07,310 --> 01:02:08,520
Funny guy.
1411
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:09,646
I try.
1412
01:02:10,897 --> 01:02:12,399
No, seriously,
that's very admirable of you.
1413
01:02:13,525 --> 01:02:14,651
Thank you.
1414
01:02:14,651 --> 01:02:15,652
I've been blessed with a lot,
1415
01:02:15,652 --> 01:02:16,778
so...
1416
01:02:16,778 --> 01:02:18,071
I make it a habit
of blessing others.
1417
01:02:18,071 --> 01:02:21,199
Well, you certainly blessed me.
1418
01:02:23,952 --> 01:02:26,121
You know what, I'm glad we met.
1419
01:02:26,121 --> 01:02:27,622
Call this a happy coincidence.
1420
01:02:28,998 --> 01:02:30,291
I don't believe
in coincidences.
1421
01:02:32,293 --> 01:02:33,294
Okay... okay.
1422
01:02:36,006 --> 01:02:37,424
You know, after the accident,
1423
01:02:37,424 --> 01:02:40,760
they...
1424
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,804
they found this ornament
in her car.
1425
01:02:42,804 --> 01:02:45,306
It was a gazebo, just like this.
1426
01:02:46,307 --> 01:02:47,976
And attached to it was a note.
1427
01:02:49,394 --> 01:02:50,603
It said "To Michael.
1428
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:53,690
Merry Christmas."
1429
01:02:56,526 --> 01:02:58,153
I tell you, Traci...
1430
01:02:59,446 --> 01:03:02,032
If she didn't go
and buy that gazebo for me,
1431
01:03:02,032 --> 01:03:03,783
I swear
she'd still be here today.
1432
01:03:03,783 --> 01:03:04,993
Michael, you can't
think like that.
1433
01:03:04,993 --> 01:03:06,870
No. I do think like that.
1434
01:03:06,870 --> 01:03:08,079
Every single day.
1435
01:03:11,791 --> 01:03:13,001
It's like I can't let it go.
1436
01:03:17,464 --> 01:03:18,506
Look at me...
1437
01:03:18,506 --> 01:03:19,674
How sad is this?
1438
01:03:21,259 --> 01:03:22,260
Here I am,
1439
01:03:22,260 --> 01:03:24,304
a leader of
a grief-support group.
1440
01:03:28,683 --> 01:03:30,810
It's better than...
1441
01:03:30,810 --> 01:03:32,187
acting like everything's okay.
1442
01:03:36,107 --> 01:03:37,484
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1443
01:03:37,484 --> 01:03:38,526
Oh...
1444
01:03:38,526 --> 01:03:39,652
not to make matters worse,
1445
01:03:39,652 --> 01:03:41,571
but when I opened the box...
1446
01:03:41,571 --> 01:03:43,490
the ornament was broken.
1447
01:03:46,785 --> 01:03:48,161
Maybe I can fix it.
1448
01:03:53,458 --> 01:03:54,626
If you want.
1449
01:04:01,424 --> 01:04:02,884
Wow.
1450
01:04:02,884 --> 01:04:04,636
I can tell you really know
your way around a canvas, huh?
1451
01:04:05,845 --> 01:04:08,098
I am... impressed.
1452
01:04:09,891 --> 01:04:11,935
That's the...
1453
01:04:11,935 --> 01:04:13,561
that's the last painting
we did together.
1454
01:04:15,438 --> 01:04:17,565
It's what we think
Heaven looks like.
1455
01:04:19,109 --> 01:04:21,653
And it's immune to criticism,
1456
01:04:21,653 --> 01:04:22,987
because...
1457
01:04:22,987 --> 01:04:24,406
it's up to interpretation, right?
1458
01:04:25,907 --> 01:04:27,450
Right.
1459
01:04:28,702 --> 01:04:30,078
Wow.
1460
01:04:31,579 --> 01:04:32,706
This is beautiful, huh?
1461
01:04:34,457 --> 01:04:35,417
May I?
1462
01:04:36,668 --> 01:04:37,585
Yeah.
1463
01:04:54,894 --> 01:04:56,062
You're not so bad.
1464
01:04:56,062 --> 01:04:57,689
Well, well.
1465
01:04:57,689 --> 01:04:59,149
Greg was always the...
1466
01:05:00,859 --> 01:05:02,318
Anyway...
1467
01:05:03,528 --> 01:05:04,696
...here you go.
1468
01:05:05,822 --> 01:05:06,990
It still has some tiny cracks,
1469
01:05:06,990 --> 01:05:08,616
but I think
it's part of the charm.
1470
01:05:08,616 --> 01:05:11,244
You know, it shows that...
1471
01:05:11,244 --> 01:05:12,287
things that are broken
1472
01:05:12,287 --> 01:05:14,664
can be made, you know,
1473
01:05:14,664 --> 01:05:16,166
somewhat whole again.
1474
01:05:17,959 --> 01:05:19,502
It's perfect.
1475
01:05:22,881 --> 01:05:24,007
Thank you.
1476
01:05:24,007 --> 01:05:25,383
Of course.
1477
01:05:28,970 --> 01:05:30,597
So you never learned
how to play?
1478
01:05:31,723 --> 01:05:32,724
No...
1479
01:05:34,476 --> 01:05:35,894
Okay, one song.
1480
01:05:35,894 --> 01:05:37,270
- Okay.
- Just one.
1481
01:05:38,229 --> 01:05:40,065
- All right.
- All right.
1482
01:05:40,065 --> 01:05:42,275
I'll give it a shot.
1483
01:05:58,083 --> 01:05:59,125
That's great!
1484
01:05:59,125 --> 01:06:00,418
- That's right.
- That's good!
1485
01:06:02,170 --> 01:06:03,505
That's really good.
We make a great team.
1486
01:06:04,547 --> 01:06:05,507
That's true.
1487
01:06:11,012 --> 01:06:12,472
Um...
1488
01:06:12,472 --> 01:06:14,599
I...
1489
01:06:14,599 --> 01:06:16,434
I think I should go.
1490
01:06:16,434 --> 01:06:17,852
- It's getting late.
- It is getting late, yeah.
1491
01:06:17,852 --> 01:06:19,354
But...
1492
01:06:21,064 --> 01:06:23,775
...thank you...
1493
01:06:23,775 --> 01:06:24,818
for this.
1494
01:06:30,907 --> 01:06:32,659
Goodnight, Traci.
Thank you.
1495
01:06:32,659 --> 01:06:33,702
Yeah, goodnight.
1496
01:06:41,751 --> 01:06:42,794
You know, as much as I love
1497
01:06:42,794 --> 01:06:44,337
having a newly-minted
expert wrapper
1498
01:06:44,337 --> 01:06:46,172
helping me with these,
1499
01:06:46,172 --> 01:06:47,424
shouldn't you
be getting back to work?
1500
01:06:47,424 --> 01:06:49,175
The gallery is in two days.
1501
01:06:49,175 --> 01:06:50,468
I'm merrily procrastinating.
1502
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,263
And un-merrily
1503
01:06:53,263 --> 01:06:55,223
starting to lose confidence
in myself.
1504
01:06:56,099 --> 01:06:58,393
If your goal is...
1505
01:06:58,393 --> 01:07:01,646
trying to get people
to feel something,
1506
01:07:01,646 --> 01:07:03,565
maybe you should draw on
what you're feeling right now.
1507
01:07:04,983 --> 01:07:05,900
Well, it's
a real mixed bag, Mom.
1508
01:07:09,988 --> 01:07:10,947
Honestly, my...
1509
01:07:12,073 --> 01:07:13,616
...my heart
is just so conflicted.
1510
01:07:17,996 --> 01:07:20,749
You have grown so much
since you joined that group.
1511
01:07:22,751 --> 01:07:24,419
Maybe the final piece
of this puzzle
1512
01:07:24,419 --> 01:07:25,337
is...
1513
01:07:25,337 --> 01:07:27,005
opening your heart.
1514
01:07:28,340 --> 01:07:30,508
And that doesn't mean that
you have to forget about Greg.
1515
01:07:32,218 --> 01:07:35,555
Maybe drawing on
the memories of him
1516
01:07:35,555 --> 01:07:36,514
will help you.
1517
01:07:51,112 --> 01:07:53,198
God,
1518
01:07:53,198 --> 01:07:54,866
I feel lost...
1519
01:07:58,495 --> 01:08:00,372
...and I don't know what to do.
1520
01:08:02,165 --> 01:08:04,542
I pray...
1521
01:08:04,542 --> 01:08:06,127
that I am able to help people
1522
01:08:06,127 --> 01:08:08,546
feel something special
for Christmas.
1523
01:08:11,633 --> 01:08:12,884
Amen.
1524
01:08:34,864 --> 01:08:36,366
All right, I've got you.
1525
01:08:37,534 --> 01:08:40,370
Well, being home sure beats
that hospital room any day.
1526
01:08:40,370 --> 01:08:42,539
The doctor
is one phone call away,
1527
01:08:42,539 --> 01:08:44,791
I will be with you 24/7,
1528
01:08:44,791 --> 01:08:46,292
and...
1529
01:08:46,292 --> 01:08:48,086
your only job is to rest, okay?
1530
01:08:54,175 --> 01:08:55,427
Dance with me.
1531
01:08:55,427 --> 01:08:57,804
Did you not just hear
what I told you?
1532
01:08:57,804 --> 01:08:58,972
Come on.
1533
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:03,768
After all,
1534
01:09:03,768 --> 01:09:05,145
we never know
how much time we have left,
1535
01:09:05,145 --> 01:09:07,856
so we have to live each moment
like it's our last.
1536
01:09:09,357 --> 01:09:11,693
We are going to have
so many of these moments.
1537
01:09:13,153 --> 01:09:14,612
Decades more.
1538
01:09:19,534 --> 01:09:21,119
Traci, I need you
to promise me something.
1539
01:09:22,579 --> 01:09:23,621
Anything.
1540
01:09:25,123 --> 01:09:27,334
Never stop laughing,
1541
01:09:27,334 --> 01:09:29,044
and never stop loving.
1542
01:09:31,046 --> 01:09:32,505
And never stop living.
1543
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:35,383
Okay?
1544
01:09:41,222 --> 01:09:44,351
♪ The world waits
for a miracle ♪
1545
01:09:44,351 --> 01:09:46,019
♪ Oh, come... ♪
1546
01:09:46,019 --> 01:09:48,855
♪ Emmanuel ♪
1547
01:09:56,863 --> 01:09:58,073
Traci! Come in!
1548
01:09:59,157 --> 01:10:00,950
Thank you!
1549
01:10:00,950 --> 01:10:02,035
What are you doing here?
1550
01:10:02,035 --> 01:10:04,746
And what are you wearing?
1551
01:10:06,039 --> 01:10:07,248
I know I look ridiculous,
1552
01:10:07,248 --> 01:10:09,417
but they said
they also need an elf.
1553
01:10:11,378 --> 01:10:12,504
What are you talking about?
1554
01:10:12,504 --> 01:10:16,007
The Christmas market
needs a Mrs. Claus,
1555
01:10:16,007 --> 01:10:19,427
and I told them I know someone
with years of experience.
1556
01:10:23,223 --> 01:10:25,433
Maybe all you need to do
is take one step.
1557
01:10:25,433 --> 01:10:26,893
Just try it on,
1558
01:10:26,893 --> 01:10:28,436
see if it fits?
1559
01:10:32,190 --> 01:10:33,149
Okay...
1560
01:10:33,149 --> 01:10:34,567
Okay!
1561
01:10:37,028 --> 01:10:38,154
It fits like a glove.
1562
01:10:40,907 --> 01:10:44,452
You are rocking that!
1563
01:10:45,870 --> 01:10:47,956
But I don't think
I can do this on my own.
1564
01:10:49,541 --> 01:10:50,625
Well, you'll have
your trusty elf
1565
01:10:50,625 --> 01:10:51,918
right by your side.
1566
01:10:59,342 --> 01:11:00,593
I'll be with you in just a sec.
1567
01:11:03,805 --> 01:11:05,223
Nothing's changed a bit.
1568
01:11:10,854 --> 01:11:12,313
Dad...
1569
01:11:12,313 --> 01:11:13,481
What are you doing here?
1570
01:11:13,481 --> 01:11:14,858
A friend of yours
1571
01:11:14,858 --> 01:11:17,485
left a box of Nai Nai's sweets
at my doorstep.
1572
01:11:19,529 --> 01:11:21,156
It's been so long
since I've tried them...
1573
01:11:22,657 --> 01:11:23,992
...but I'm glad I did.
1574
01:11:25,994 --> 01:11:26,870
You made them?
1575
01:11:28,329 --> 01:11:29,581
I did.
1576
01:11:30,749 --> 01:11:32,500
They taste just like hers.
1577
01:11:34,836 --> 01:11:36,254
So why'd you ask me
to meet you here?
1578
01:11:37,672 --> 01:11:39,299
I just wanted to celebrate
1579
01:11:39,299 --> 01:11:41,134
your courage
for sharing the other day.
1580
01:11:42,927 --> 01:11:43,887
How does it feel?
1581
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,264
Like my soul is healing.
1582
01:11:48,183 --> 01:11:49,184
I know she's still with me.
1583
01:11:52,354 --> 01:11:53,438
You know...
1584
01:11:53,438 --> 01:11:55,106
open mic's about to start.
1585
01:11:56,232 --> 01:11:58,693
And I just so happened...
1586
01:11:58,693 --> 01:12:00,528
to reserve the first slot.
1587
01:12:02,405 --> 01:12:04,199
You wanna give it a shot?
1588
01:12:07,494 --> 01:12:08,870
I think I can do it.
1589
01:12:14,626 --> 01:12:16,378
I came to apologize.
1590
01:12:16,378 --> 01:12:17,796
No. Whoa.
1591
01:12:17,796 --> 01:12:19,464
No, no. You don't--
you don't have to do that, Dad.
1592
01:12:19,464 --> 01:12:20,715
It was a hard time
for all of us,
1593
01:12:20,715 --> 01:12:21,841
and we all grieve differently.
1594
01:12:21,841 --> 01:12:24,177
I was angry,
1595
01:12:24,177 --> 01:12:25,220
and I took it out on you.
1596
01:12:26,971 --> 01:12:28,515
It wasn't fair...
1597
01:12:28,515 --> 01:12:31,309
and I'm sorry.
1598
01:12:31,309 --> 01:12:34,521
If my mother taught me
anything at all,
1599
01:12:34,521 --> 01:12:38,483
it is that there is
nothing more important in life
1600
01:12:38,483 --> 01:12:39,609
than family.
1601
01:12:43,697 --> 01:12:45,031
You have no idea
how much it means
1602
01:12:45,031 --> 01:12:46,074

Hey, Joyce.
1613
01:13:55,352 --> 01:13:56,519
Yeah!
1614
01:13:56,519 --> 01:13:57,937
I...
1615
01:13:57,937 --> 01:13:59,314
I think you're gonna like
what I've been working on--
1616
01:13:59,314 --> 01:14:01,566
and it will be done
just in time for the gallery.
1617
01:14:01,566 --> 01:14:03,276
I just have...
1618
01:14:03,276 --> 01:14:04,778
one more thing left to do.
1619
01:14:15,121 --> 01:14:16,706
Hey.
1620
01:14:17,457 --> 01:14:19,042
Hey.
1621
01:14:23,213 --> 01:14:24,464
Happy Anniversary.
1622
01:14:27,092 --> 01:14:27,926
Traci...
1623
01:14:27,926 --> 01:14:29,344
what are you doing here?
1624
01:14:30,804 --> 01:14:32,931
Well, I thought it was strange
1625
01:14:32,931 --> 01:14:35,433
that you weren't returning
any of my calls.
1626
01:14:35,433 --> 01:14:36,893
Right.
1627
01:14:36,893 --> 01:14:38,353
And then I remembered...
1628
01:14:38,353 --> 01:14:40,980
that it was December 23rd.
1629
01:14:42,065 --> 01:14:42,857
Yeah.
1630
01:14:42,857 --> 01:14:44,401
The day we first met...
1631
01:14:46,319 --> 01:14:47,487
...and the day we got married.
1632
01:14:55,870 --> 01:14:56,996
I hope I'm not intruding.
1633
01:14:56,996 --> 01:14:58,498
I just wanted to make sure
you were okay.
1634
01:14:58,498 --> 01:14:59,833
No, no, no.
1635
01:14:59,833 --> 01:15:01,209
Not intruding at all.
1636
01:15:01,209 --> 01:15:02,460
- Okay.
- Thank you.
1637
01:15:02,460 --> 01:15:04,045
Yeah.
1638
01:15:04,045 --> 01:15:05,255
You know what...
1639
01:15:08,091 --> 01:15:09,009
...I'm okay.
1640
01:15:12,595 --> 01:15:13,972
Every year,
1641
01:15:13,972 --> 01:15:15,932
I bring a flower up here
to remember her.
1642
01:15:18,268 --> 01:15:19,686
Listen, Traci,
about the other night...
1643
01:15:19,686 --> 01:15:22,272
No, no, no. We do not need
to talk about that.
1644
01:15:24,357 --> 01:15:25,775
Today is about you and Melody.
1645
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:30,363
I was sitting here,
1646
01:15:30,363 --> 01:15:31,906
and I was thinking...
1647
01:15:33,783 --> 01:15:37,579
...I am so grateful
1648
01:15:37,579 --> 01:15:39,539
for all the years
that we spent together...
1649
01:15:41,708 --> 01:15:44,502
...and from now on, that's...
1650
01:15:44,502 --> 01:15:45,962
that's what I vow to hold on to.
1651
01:15:47,589 --> 01:15:49,174
It's hard.
It's really hard.
1652
01:15:52,010 --> 01:15:53,094
For some reason,
this year, I just--
1653
01:15:53,094 --> 01:15:54,846
I don't know, I just feel...
1654
01:15:56,306 --> 01:15:57,932
...more at peace.
1655
01:15:58,808 --> 01:16:00,185
Sounds like healing to me.
1656
01:16:06,441 --> 01:16:08,068
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1657
01:16:31,633 --> 01:16:32,509
That's incredible.
1658
01:16:33,885 --> 01:16:34,803
That's incredible, isn't it?
1659
01:16:34,803 --> 01:16:36,638
I mean, we have made
1660
01:16:36,638 --> 01:16:38,932
a ton of progress
these past few weeks.
1661
01:16:38,932 --> 01:16:39,974
I have a feeling
you're talking about
1662
01:16:39,974 --> 01:16:41,226
more than just the tree.
1663
01:16:42,227 --> 01:16:43,895
Um, well,
your feeling's correct, I am.
1664
01:16:45,689 --> 01:16:46,940
So, what do you say
we get started?
1665
01:16:47,691 --> 01:16:48,650
Is Traci coming?
1666
01:16:48,650 --> 01:16:49,859
Actually, I don't think so.
1667
01:16:49,859 --> 01:16:51,361
I think she's really busy
with her art show.
1668
01:16:52,362 --> 01:16:54,155
- I should have canceled--
- Sorry I'm late!
1669
01:16:54,155 --> 01:16:55,156
- Hey!
- Hi!
1670
01:16:55,156 --> 01:16:56,825
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
1671
01:16:56,825 --> 01:16:57,992
Merry Christmas!
1672
01:16:57,992 --> 01:17:00,995
I waited until
the last possible minute
1673
01:17:00,995 --> 01:17:02,330
to invite you to this--
1674
01:17:02,330 --> 01:17:03,415
but it's probably because
1675
01:17:03,415 --> 01:17:04,833
I waited till
the last possible minute
1676
01:17:04,833 --> 01:17:06,334
to finish my art.
1677
01:17:07,293 --> 01:17:08,545
Your gallery exhibit? Tonight?
1678
01:17:08,545 --> 01:17:09,921
Yes!
1679
01:17:09,921 --> 01:17:11,548
And I would love
for you to stop by,
1680
01:17:11,548 --> 01:17:12,716
if you can,
no pressure.
1681
01:17:12,716 --> 01:17:13,925
- But there will be cookies.
- I'm there.
1682
01:17:13,925 --> 01:17:15,552
- Me too!
- You had me at "cookies".
1683
01:17:15,552 --> 01:17:17,178
I wouldn't miss it.
I wouldn't.
1684
01:17:17,178 --> 01:17:18,888
We're all going.
We're there.
1685
01:17:18,888 --> 01:17:20,724
So, while we're all here,
why don't I open things up?
1686
01:17:20,724 --> 01:17:22,183
Yeah, actually...
1687
01:17:22,183 --> 01:17:24,019
What?
1688
01:17:24,019 --> 01:17:25,645
Can I open things up tonight?
1689
01:17:28,231 --> 01:17:29,357
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1690
01:17:29,357 --> 01:17:30,525
I'd be honored.
1691
01:17:30,525 --> 01:17:31,985
Okay. Okay.
1692
01:17:31,985 --> 01:17:34,237
I'm a little rusty,
but here we go.
1693
01:17:38,324 --> 01:17:39,993
Dear God...
1694
01:17:42,787 --> 01:17:44,122
...in the last two years,
1695
01:17:44,122 --> 01:17:45,582
I've...
1696
01:17:45,582 --> 01:17:48,585
often thought that my prayers
weren't being answered...
1697
01:17:51,046 --> 01:17:53,298
...and now I know
that they were answered...
1698
01:17:54,424 --> 01:17:56,384
...just not in the way
I expected.
1699
01:17:58,136 --> 01:17:59,429
You led me to this group.
1700
01:18:02,223 --> 01:18:06,478
Thank you so much
for the gift of new friendships.
1701
01:18:06,478 --> 01:18:07,604
And I ask you, God,
1702
01:18:07,604 --> 01:18:10,065
just to bless every person...
1703
01:18:10,065 --> 01:18:11,441
in this group tonight...
1704
01:18:12,609 --> 01:18:14,069
...and continue to heal us...
1705
01:18:15,487 --> 01:18:17,405
...with Your peace,
1706
01:18:17,405 --> 01:18:19,240
love,
1707
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:20,408
and joy.
1708
01:18:20,408 --> 01:18:21,409
Amen.
1709
01:18:21,409 --> 01:18:22,952
Amen!
1710
01:18:23,787 --> 01:18:24,746
You weren't rusty at all!
1711
01:18:26,748 --> 01:18:27,999
Thank you.
1712
01:18:27,999 --> 01:18:30,001
I learned from the best.
1713
01:18:52,440 --> 01:18:54,025
Best seats in the house.
1714
01:18:59,030 --> 01:19:00,365
Hi, everyone!
1715
01:19:00,365 --> 01:19:01,616
Merry Christmas.
1716
01:19:01,616 --> 01:19:02,742
Merry Christmas!
1717
01:19:04,953 --> 01:19:06,162
As many of you know,
1718
01:19:06,162 --> 01:19:09,457
the last couple of years
have been...
1719
01:19:09,457 --> 01:19:11,459
really hard.
1720
01:19:12,794 --> 01:19:13,878
I, um...
1721
01:19:13,878 --> 01:19:15,714
almost gave up
on my art completely.
1722
01:19:17,215 --> 01:19:19,759
But that would have been taking
the easy way out.
1723
01:19:21,136 --> 01:19:23,471
So I decided to take
the hard road...
1724
01:19:26,683 --> 01:19:29,310
...and open my heart,
1725
01:19:29,310 --> 01:19:31,521
and the creativity followed.
1726
01:19:32,689 --> 01:19:35,525
That never...
1727
01:19:35,525 --> 01:19:36,818
would have been possible
1728
01:19:36,818 --> 01:19:39,904
without the love and support
of my Mom and Dad,
1729
01:19:39,904 --> 01:19:41,281
and my friends...
1730
01:19:42,115 --> 01:19:43,408
...who are all here tonight.
1731
01:19:46,870 --> 01:19:48,663
Each and every one of you
1732
01:19:48,663 --> 01:19:51,249
inspired me to seek hope...
1733
01:19:52,876 --> 01:19:54,502
...and love...
1734
01:19:54,502 --> 01:19:55,628
and joy...
1735
01:19:56,921 --> 01:19:58,840
...even in life's
toughest moments.
1736
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:00,133
This is dedicated to them.
1737
01:20:04,721 --> 01:20:06,097
Now I would love to present...
1738
01:20:07,015 --> 01:20:09,309
..."Hearts of Healing".
1739
01:20:18,234 --> 01:20:20,236
Look, I'm wearing
my Mrs. Claus outfit!
1740
01:20:20,236 --> 01:20:22,238
- And there's little Presley!
- Adorable!
1741
01:20:22,238 --> 01:20:24,657
Is that
the quadruple-chocolate donut?
1742
01:20:24,657 --> 01:20:26,076
It is!
1743
01:20:31,873 --> 01:20:32,957
I want to thank you all
1744
01:20:32,957 --> 01:20:35,126
for joining us tonight.
1745
01:20:35,126 --> 01:20:38,421
The theme for this year's
Christmas Eve service
1746
01:20:38,421 --> 01:20:41,132
is "Holding on
while letting go".
1747
01:20:43,093 --> 01:20:44,177
Now, I'm sure
there's some of you here
1748
01:20:44,177 --> 01:20:46,346
that have lost someone
close to you...
1749
01:20:47,347 --> 01:20:49,349
...and I urge you to look around
1750
01:20:49,349 --> 01:20:51,226
and realize
that you're not alone.
1751
01:20:55,188 --> 01:20:57,357
By lighting these balloons,
1752
01:20:57,357 --> 01:20:58,566
we signify
1753
01:20:58,566 --> 01:20:59,567
that the ones
that we've lost in our lives
1754
01:20:59,567 --> 01:21:00,443
will always remain...
1755
01:21:01,611 --> 01:21:03,613
...in our hearts.
1756
01:21:03,613 --> 01:21:04,781
But before we do,
I'd like to take a moment.
1757
01:21:06,199 --> 01:21:08,576
I'd like all of us to...
1758
01:21:08,576 --> 01:21:09,994
say a prayer,
1759
01:21:09,994 --> 01:21:12,956
recall a memory...
1760
01:21:12,956 --> 01:21:14,499
hold them in your heart.
1761
01:21:23,299 --> 01:21:24,634
Now...
1762
01:21:24,634 --> 01:21:27,929
as we release these balloons
into the sky,
1763
01:21:27,929 --> 01:21:29,264
I'd like all of us
to celebrate them...
1764
01:21:31,266 --> 01:21:32,392
...as we let them go.
1765
01:21:34,853 --> 01:21:36,604
Are you ready?
1766
01:21:36,604 --> 01:21:38,898
- Yes.
- Yeah.
1767
01:21:38,898 --> 01:21:40,316
Whoo...
1768
01:21:40,316 --> 01:21:42,318
