00:00:10,268 --> 00:00:11,342
Every day,
2
00:00:11,343 --> 00:00:13,014
we pass strangers around us,
3
00:00:13,015 --> 00:00:16,399
exchanging smiles,
friendly nods...
4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,629
Maybe even a "merry Christmas"
if we're in the spirit.
5
00:00:20,102 --> 00:00:22,689
And as we smile
and greet that stranger,
6
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:24,720
you may think to yourself,
7
00:00:24,721 --> 00:00:26,155
"I wonder
what their life is like?"
8
00:00:28,185 --> 00:00:29,141
You might not even
think about it
9
00:00:29,142 --> 00:00:30,414
for more than a moment,
10
00:00:30,415 --> 00:00:32,246
as your paths
aren't likely to cross again...
11
00:00:34,277 --> 00:00:35,351
...yet these complete strangers
12
00:00:35,352 --> 00:00:37,064
would find their way
to one other...
13
00:00:39,254 --> 00:00:41,243
...forming bonds that,
at first,
14
00:00:41,244 --> 00:00:42,798
may seem unlikely.
15
00:00:45,624 --> 00:00:47,774
Sometimes, we discover,
16
00:00:47,775 --> 00:00:50,083
those bonds may turn out to be
17
00:00:50,084 --> 00:00:51,676
the very best kind.
18
00:01:34,199 --> 00:01:35,353
There you go!
19
00:01:35,354 --> 00:01:36,667
Are you happy now?
20
00:01:36,668 --> 00:01:37,742
I am.
21
00:01:37,743 --> 00:01:39,255
Now you can play
1/12th of "silent night".
22
00:01:39,256 --> 00:01:40,451
- Wonderful!
- Mm-hmm.
23
00:01:41,645 --> 00:01:42,719
Well...
24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,192
When we meet our deadline
25
00:01:44,193 --> 00:01:48,174
and deliver these paintings
to the Christmas gallery,
26
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:50,444
then you can teach me
the other 11 parts. How's that?
27
00:01:50,445 --> 00:01:51,877
I know you're worried
28
00:01:51,878 --> 00:01:54,146
about us not selling enough
at the gallery to make rent,
29
00:01:54,147 --> 00:01:55,460
but...
30
00:01:55,461 --> 00:01:56,576
God will make a way.
31
00:01:58,168 --> 00:01:59,761
You're right.
32
00:02:01,075 --> 00:02:02,070
Please, god,
33
00:02:02,071 --> 00:02:03,503
let the love of my life
34
00:02:03,504 --> 00:02:06,329
come over here and help me
finish these paintings.
35
00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:07,326
Amen.
36
00:02:13,935 --> 00:02:16,960
Happy first day
of December, Traci!
37
00:02:16,961 --> 00:02:18,315
I got you a little something.
38
00:02:20,187 --> 00:02:22,255
Isn't it a little early
for a little something?
39
00:02:22,256 --> 00:02:24,367
Thought it might
liven the place up.
40
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,671
There's chocolates
for each day!
41
00:02:27,672 --> 00:02:28,945
That'll get you
in the spirit.
42
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:31,852
Thank you.
I love it.
43
00:02:32,808 --> 00:02:34,320
Is excessive consumption
of sweets
44
00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:35,356
a stage of grief?
45
00:02:35,357 --> 00:02:36,470
Because if so,
46
00:02:36,471 --> 00:02:37,466
then I am really cruising
47
00:02:37,467 --> 00:02:38,819
through that part
of the process.
48
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:40,491
All right, let's see,
49
00:02:40,492 --> 00:02:42,761
only...
50
00:02:42,762 --> 00:02:44,235
23 more chocolates until our
51
00:02:46,107 --> 00:02:48,654
...my annual
Christmas exhibition.
52
00:02:50,606 --> 00:02:51,561
Want to see
what I've been working on?
53
00:02:51,562 --> 00:02:52,675
Mm! Great!
54
00:02:52,676 --> 00:02:55,105
You just wait!
55
00:02:56,140 --> 00:02:57,851
This I like to call...
56
00:02:57,852 --> 00:02:59,245
"Silent not".
57
00:02:59,246 --> 00:03:00,679
Oh, boy.
58
00:03:01,674 --> 00:03:03,067
Yeah.
59
00:03:03,068 --> 00:03:04,978
And this little, sweet gem
over here
60
00:03:04,979 --> 00:03:06,252
I like to call
61
00:03:06,253 --> 00:03:09,119
"riding in
a half-horse, open sleigh".
62
00:03:10,713 --> 00:03:12,543
Okay, trace,
I am your best friend first
63
00:03:12,544 --> 00:03:13,977
and your manager second
64
00:03:13,978 --> 00:03:15,211
and while the manager side of me
65
00:03:15,212 --> 00:03:16,803
is a little nervous
66
00:03:16,804 --> 00:03:19,312
you won't be done
for Christmas Eve,
67
00:03:19,313 --> 00:03:20,427
the friend side of me...
68
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:23,771
...understands.
69
00:03:23,772 --> 00:03:26,040
If you need to take
another year off, take it.
70
00:03:26,041 --> 00:03:27,274
No. No.
71
00:03:27,275 --> 00:03:29,584
It's been two years, Joyce.
72
00:03:29,585 --> 00:03:30,938
I have to do this.
73
00:03:32,133 --> 00:03:33,805
I have to figure out
how to work without him.
74
00:03:36,234 --> 00:03:37,905
It's just...
75
00:03:37,906 --> 00:03:39,936
We complemented each other
76
00:03:39,937 --> 00:03:41,210
in...
77
00:03:41,211 --> 00:03:42,007
Every way, you know?
78
00:03:44,356 --> 00:03:45,828
I don't know, I...
79
00:03:45,829 --> 00:03:47,302
I see potential here.
80
00:03:47,303 --> 00:03:49,134
I think you can do this.
81
00:03:50,289 --> 00:03:52,598
And I know exactly
what you need to do next.
82
00:03:53,713 --> 00:03:54,827
Plant myself
in front of that easel
83
00:03:54,828 --> 00:03:56,539
until I've finished
my masterpiece?
84
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:58,251
No, silly...
85
00:03:58,252 --> 00:03:59,565
Clear your mind!
86
00:03:59,566 --> 00:04:00,919
I'm taking you
Christmas shopping!
87
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,954
- No!
- Yup!
88
00:04:01,955 --> 00:04:04,184
Yes! 100%!
89
00:04:04,185 --> 00:04:05,180
Can't be sad
at the Christmas market.
90
00:04:05,181 --> 00:04:06,294
It's illegal.
91
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:14,894
You've just had too much.
92
00:04:14,895 --> 00:04:16,886
I can't help myself.
93
00:04:17,642 --> 00:04:18,638
Hey!
94
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:20,906
You guys are still here?
95
00:04:20,907 --> 00:04:23,216
Well, we were chatting
after the meeting as usual...
96
00:04:23,217 --> 00:04:24,489
Which then turned into
97
00:04:24,490 --> 00:04:25,923
us getting a three-hour
hot chocolate together...
98
00:04:25,924 --> 00:04:27,117
...which then ended
99
00:04:27,118 --> 00:04:28,869
in me realizing
I forgot my scarf at church,
100
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:30,024
so we came back here to get it.
101
00:04:30,025 --> 00:04:31,338
I see.
102
00:04:31,339 --> 00:04:33,050
That's when we noticed
our beloved leader
103
00:04:33,051 --> 00:04:34,562
working away here!
104
00:04:34,563 --> 00:04:35,638
You need help?
105
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:36,912
No, no, no.
You guys, no.
106
00:04:36,913 --> 00:04:38,027
Look, I've got it covered.
107
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:39,619
I think I'm ready to deliver
these boxes
108
00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:40,695
to the women's shelter,
109
00:04:40,696 --> 00:04:41,452
and children's hospital
youth center
110
00:04:41,453 --> 00:04:42,526
so I'm good.
111
00:04:42,527 --> 00:04:43,523
Hey, Mike, I have a question.
112
00:04:43,524 --> 00:04:44,716
Are you the real Santa Claus?
113
00:04:44,717 --> 00:04:46,428
Give us your best "ho-ho-ho".
114
00:04:46,429 --> 00:04:48,219
Ho-ho-ho, Justin!
115
00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:49,137
Oh, but that wasn't a no.
116
00:04:49,138 --> 00:04:50,171
No, no.
117
00:04:50,172 --> 00:04:51,962
Listen
I appreciate the offer,
118
00:04:51,963 --> 00:04:53,197
I do,
119
00:04:53,198 --> 00:04:54,074
but I really would like
to deliver these solo,
120
00:04:54,075 --> 00:04:55,267
if I could.
121
00:04:55,268 --> 00:04:56,780
All right.
122
00:04:56,781 --> 00:04:58,332
But...
123
00:04:58,333 --> 00:05:00,801
Promise us that you will also
do something for yourself.
124
00:05:00,802 --> 00:05:03,630
You spend all your time
helping everyone else.
125
00:05:04,545 --> 00:05:06,654
I know I do,
and I will, okay?
126
00:05:06,655 --> 00:05:07,729
Okay.
127
00:05:07,730 --> 00:05:08,844
Now...
128
00:05:08,845 --> 00:05:09,800
I love you guys, but...
129
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,796
Let's go! Out!
130
00:05:10,797 --> 00:05:11,910
Okay! We're going!
131
00:05:11,911 --> 00:05:13,383
We're going, we're going.
132
00:05:13,384 --> 00:05:14,578
- See ya.
- See ya later.
133
00:05:27,837 --> 00:05:28,952
Here we go.
134
00:05:30,107 --> 00:05:31,220
Ah, yes.
135
00:05:31,221 --> 00:05:34,048
Come on! Pick any one
you want, my treat!
136
00:05:34,049 --> 00:05:35,282
All right, um...
137
00:05:35,283 --> 00:05:36,755
Ooh! How about that one?
138
00:05:36,756 --> 00:05:37,752
Hmm.
139
00:05:38,826 --> 00:05:40,060
- Oh!
- Oh, I'm sorry!
140
00:05:40,061 --> 00:05:41,214
No, no, no, no!
You take it!
141
00:05:41,215 --> 00:05:42,250
Please, I insist.
142
00:05:42,251 --> 00:05:44,319
You touched it
one second before me,
143
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,355
so, technically, you had dibs.
144
00:05:45,356 --> 00:05:46,629
Oh.
145
00:05:46,630 --> 00:05:48,341
So those are the rules
for "dibs" then, huh?
146
00:05:48,342 --> 00:05:49,456
I don't make the rules,
147
00:05:49,457 --> 00:05:50,572
I do enforce them.
148
00:05:51,567 --> 00:05:53,319
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
149
00:05:54,394 --> 00:05:55,946
Two strangers insisting
the other gets what they want
150
00:05:55,947 --> 00:05:57,578
certainly beats the alternative
this time of year, huh?
151
00:05:57,579 --> 00:05:59,489
Oh, you...
152
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:01,082
You should have seen
the tug-of-war I witnessed
153
00:06:01,083 --> 00:06:02,913
between two moms
and a toy car on black Friday.
154
00:06:02,914 --> 00:06:04,507
I can only imagine.
155
00:06:04,508 --> 00:06:05,423
Brutal.
156
00:06:08,449 --> 00:06:09,722
You know, you take this.
157
00:06:09,723 --> 00:06:10,639
What?
158
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,952
You can have it. I...
159
00:06:11,953 --> 00:06:13,465
I...
160
00:06:13,466 --> 00:06:14,938
I have to go. Yeah.
161
00:06:14,939 --> 00:06:16,611
Have a nice day.
162
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:24,335
What was that all about?
163
00:06:25,609 --> 00:06:26,525
He looks familiar.
164
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,506
I think he goes to the church
that Greg and I went to.
165
00:06:30,507 --> 00:06:31,980
- Grace community?
- Yeah.
166
00:06:33,095 --> 00:06:34,289
My memory's fuzzy,
167
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:36,041
but I think he led
a support group there.
168
00:06:38,151 --> 00:06:40,460
Of course, I haven't
been back since...
169
00:06:42,212 --> 00:06:46,154
You know, when my aunt
passed away a few years back,
170
00:06:46,155 --> 00:06:48,821
I went to a grief-support group
at a local church.
171
00:06:48,822 --> 00:06:50,892
It really helped me.
172
00:06:52,167 --> 00:06:52,963
There's just something special
173
00:06:52,964 --> 00:06:54,475
about healing alongside others
174
00:06:54,476 --> 00:06:55,948
who are going through
the same thing.
175
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:57,938
And look!
176
00:06:57,939 --> 00:06:58,895
Grace has one, too!
177
00:07:01,802 --> 00:07:03,154
Thank you.
178
00:07:03,155 --> 00:07:04,310
I just don't think
it's my thing.
179
00:07:04,311 --> 00:07:05,464
I don't.
180
00:07:05,465 --> 00:07:08,411
Besides, I'm feeling like
my old self again!
181
00:07:08,412 --> 00:07:09,445
Yeah!
182
00:07:09,446 --> 00:07:11,716
Joy! Happiness! Fun!
183
00:07:12,513 --> 00:07:13,905
Boop-boop-boop!
184
00:07:15,737 --> 00:07:16,812
I'm not fooling anyone, am I?
185
00:07:17,967 --> 00:07:19,599
Who knows.
186
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,188
Maybe it will help you move past
this "painter block".
187
00:07:23,223 --> 00:07:24,575
I'll take this one.
188
00:07:24,576 --> 00:07:25,690
How's that?
189
00:07:25,691 --> 00:07:26,845
It's gorgeous.
We'll take it.
190
00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:28,397
All right.
Thank you.
191
00:07:28,398 --> 00:07:29,354
Here you go.
192
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:32,220
Made your favorite
193
00:07:32,221 --> 00:07:34,410
pancakes,
Christmas-style,
194
00:07:34,411 --> 00:07:36,681
with red and green sprinkles.
195
00:07:38,592 --> 00:07:41,338
Dad, you do know I'm not
five years old anymore, right?
196
00:07:42,215 --> 00:07:43,249
Well, you know what...
197
00:07:44,285 --> 00:07:45,598
...they actually
still do the trick.
198
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:46,554
Thank you.
199
00:07:47,709 --> 00:07:49,102
How's the Christmas painting
coming along?
200
00:07:49,103 --> 00:07:52,446
Well, it's not exactly
coming along quite yet.
201
00:07:52,447 --> 00:07:54,199
There is clearly
something missing.
202
00:07:57,185 --> 00:07:58,578
Well...
203
00:07:58,579 --> 00:08:00,329
We think it is so admirable
204
00:08:00,330 --> 00:08:01,444
that you're choosing
to carry on
205
00:08:01,445 --> 00:08:04,709
the work
that you two shared together.
206
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:07,815
Maybe you just need
a little inspiration?
207
00:08:07,816 --> 00:08:09,925
My childhood art projects?
208
00:08:09,926 --> 00:08:11,438
Where did you dig these up?
209
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:12,435
I found them
210
00:08:12,435 --> 00:08:13,271
when I was cleaning
the other day.
211
00:08:13,272 --> 00:08:14,544
Do you remember
212
00:08:14,545 --> 00:08:15,978
the very first art show
that you put on for us?
213
00:08:15,979 --> 00:08:17,689
Yes, I was about the same age
214
00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:19,243
as when you used to make me
these pancakes.
215
00:08:21,035 --> 00:08:22,707
Look, it's Freddy Teddy.
216
00:08:23,902 --> 00:08:24,936
Do you remember Freddy Teddy?
217
00:08:24,937 --> 00:08:26,449
I remember Freddy Teddy.
218
00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:29,157
I stood in line for hours
for a "Freddy Teddy".
219
00:08:30,072 --> 00:08:31,625
This is not bad for a kid.
220
00:08:31,626 --> 00:08:32,541
- Not bad at all.
- No.
221
00:08:32,542 --> 00:08:33,695
Try to remember
222
00:08:33,696 --> 00:08:35,248
why you became an artist
in the first place.
223
00:08:35,249 --> 00:08:37,318
To make people
feel something special.
224
00:08:37,319 --> 00:08:39,270
And isn't that what brought
you and Greg together?
225
00:08:45,084 --> 00:08:46,316
I'm sorry, trace.
226
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:47,273
I didn't mean to
227
00:08:47,274 --> 00:08:49,423
no, no, no, no, no.
228
00:08:49,424 --> 00:08:50,936
Dad, it's...
229
00:08:50,937 --> 00:08:53,205
It's okay.
230
00:08:53,206 --> 00:08:55,834
Just some memories
just hit harder than others.
231
00:08:57,267 --> 00:08:59,018
Well, don't forget
that we are here for you.
232
00:09:00,293 --> 00:09:01,884
We are so...
233
00:09:01,885 --> 00:09:04,393
Blessed...
234
00:09:04,394 --> 00:09:06,384
That we're your parents.
235
00:09:07,301 --> 00:09:11,362
And I am so lucky
to be your daughter.
236
00:09:43,493 --> 00:09:44,687
Are you copying me?
237
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,275
- Oh...
- I'm gonna tell the teacher.
238
00:09:47,276 --> 00:09:49,703
No, no. I was...
239
00:09:49,704 --> 00:09:52,410
Admiring the colors
and the detail.
240
00:09:52,411 --> 00:09:53,606
It's a lot better than mine.
241
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,835
I don't know.
242
00:09:55,836 --> 00:09:57,030
I think you're in good shape.
243
00:09:57,031 --> 00:09:58,543
Aw, thank you.
I work out.
244
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,594
I'm Greg.
245
00:10:04,595 --> 00:10:06,148
Traci.
246
00:10:36,248 --> 00:10:37,602
Traci Fremont!
247
00:10:39,872 --> 00:10:41,304
Patricia.
248
00:10:41,305 --> 00:10:42,657
It's been a while.
249
00:10:42,658 --> 00:10:44,252
Yes! Oh!
250
00:10:46,163 --> 00:10:48,431
It's so good to have you back
for the gallery this Christmas!
251
00:10:48,432 --> 00:10:49,866
We really missed you last year.
252
00:10:51,139 --> 00:10:52,332
Now, Joyce said
253
00:10:52,333 --> 00:10:53,726
she was working
on the press release. How is
254
00:10:53,727 --> 00:10:54,683
press release?
255
00:10:56,475 --> 00:10:57,828
Um... I thought you knew.
256
00:10:58,983 --> 00:11:00,017
You are committed, right?
257
00:11:00,018 --> 00:11:02,685
No. Yes, yes, yes! I am. Yes.
258
00:11:02,686 --> 00:11:03,642
Sorry, it just...
259
00:11:04,996 --> 00:11:07,345
Listen,
if you're still not ready...
260
00:11:08,459 --> 00:11:09,494
I am. I am.
261
00:11:09,495 --> 00:11:10,649
I just...
262
00:11:12,043 --> 00:11:13,873
I need to make a call.
263
00:11:13,874 --> 00:11:15,705
- Okay.
- Okay.
264
00:11:28,407 --> 00:11:29,959
Joyce, hey.
265
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,548
I was thinking about
our conversation at the market.
266
00:11:33,623 --> 00:11:34,936
What time is that next meeting?
267
00:11:53,013 --> 00:11:55,361
- What's her name?
- Traci, I think.
268
00:11:55,362 --> 00:11:56,515
Yeah, I think so.
269
00:11:56,516 --> 00:11:57,830
So we'll just wait.
270
00:11:57,831 --> 00:11:58,865
Hey, there she is. Hey!
271
00:11:58,866 --> 00:12:00,020
Hey.
272
00:12:00,021 --> 00:12:00,936
You... you must be Traci.
273
00:12:00,937 --> 00:12:02,289
I am.
274
00:12:02,290 --> 00:12:05,155
We got your email about
possibly joining the group.
275
00:12:05,156 --> 00:12:06,509
I'm sorry. You look
extremely familiar to me.
276
00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:07,506
Have we met?
277
00:12:07,507 --> 00:12:09,297
At the Christmas market.
278
00:12:09,298 --> 00:12:10,451
Remember the ornament?
279
00:12:10,452 --> 00:12:11,407
Oh, yes!
That's right. Yeah.
280
00:12:11,408 --> 00:12:12,481
Yeah.
281
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:14,074
That's very...
Very funny.
282
00:12:14,075 --> 00:12:15,986
Please! Come on, join us.
283
00:12:15,987 --> 00:12:16,981
Have a seat.
284
00:12:18,375 --> 00:12:19,292
My name is Michael.
285
00:12:19,293 --> 00:12:20,763
I'm sort of
286
00:12:20,764 --> 00:12:22,236
the fearless leader
of our little group here.
287
00:12:22,237 --> 00:12:23,233
Mostly fearless
288
00:12:23,234 --> 00:12:24,586
except when he sees a spider.
289
00:12:24,587 --> 00:12:25,621
Okay, come on.
290
00:12:25,622 --> 00:12:26,656
You should've seen him
the other day...
291
00:12:26,657 --> 00:12:27,215
He jumped, like,
three feet in the air!
292
00:12:27,216 --> 00:12:28,448
Okay, well, yes
293
00:12:28,449 --> 00:12:29,722
and I only did that once
294
00:12:29,723 --> 00:12:30,956
because the spider
was really big.
295
00:12:30,957 --> 00:12:32,430
It was about, like, that.
296
00:12:36,412 --> 00:12:37,804
So, this is
this is everybody?
297
00:12:37,805 --> 00:12:39,477
Yes. No, it's...
298
00:12:39,478 --> 00:12:40,393
Yeah, this is everybody.
299
00:12:40,394 --> 00:12:41,826
We're kind of small but mighty!
300
00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:42,822
Right, you guys?
301
00:12:42,823 --> 00:12:44,374
I'll introduce you.
This is Ethel.
302
00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:45,250
Hello.
303
00:12:45,251 --> 00:12:46,445
We have Regina here.
304
00:12:46,446 --> 00:12:47,401
- Hi.
- Hi.
305
00:12:47,402 --> 00:12:48,635
And Justin.
306
00:12:48,636 --> 00:12:49,591
Hi!
307
00:12:49,592 --> 00:12:50,704
Hi.
308
00:12:50,705 --> 00:12:52,855
So, what do you say
we get started, huh?
309
00:12:52,856 --> 00:12:53,851
Traci, before every session,
310
00:12:53,852 --> 00:12:55,205
we like to bow our heads
in prayer.
311
00:12:59,824 --> 00:13:01,893
Dear god,
312
00:13:01,894 --> 00:13:02,968
I want to thank you
313
00:13:02,969 --> 00:13:04,401
for bringing us
all together tonight.
314
00:13:04,402 --> 00:13:05,755
The team handling his surgery
315
00:13:05,756 --> 00:13:06,871
is the best there is.
316
00:13:08,184 --> 00:13:09,299
So there's hope?
317
00:13:10,574 --> 00:13:12,166
In his case, in particular...
318
00:13:13,361 --> 00:13:14,196
...it's a risky procedure.
319
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:17,860
I'd be doing you a disservice
if I gave you false hope.
320
00:13:20,408 --> 00:13:21,642
But we've prayed.
321
00:13:22,717 --> 00:13:25,981
Me, our church,
family, and friends,
322
00:13:25,982 --> 00:13:26,898
we've prayed.
323
00:13:28,172 --> 00:13:29,486
He'll be okay.
324
00:13:31,875 --> 00:13:33,586
- Amen.
- Amen!
325
00:13:33,587 --> 00:13:34,661
I'm really sorry, everyone.
326
00:13:34,662 --> 00:13:35,936
I, um...
327
00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:39,162
It was nice meeting you.
328
00:13:46,368 --> 00:13:47,443
Traci! Traci!
329
00:13:50,469 --> 00:13:51,583
Are you okay?
330
00:13:51,584 --> 00:13:52,579
No.
331
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:53,972
No, I am...
332
00:13:54,928 --> 00:13:56,042
I thought I was ready.
333
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:57,196
I'm not.
334
00:13:57,197 --> 00:13:58,870
Look, the hardest part
is just showing up.
335
00:13:59,865 --> 00:14:01,059
Okay?
336
00:14:01,060 --> 00:14:02,095
We just want you to feel
welcome here, that's all.
337
00:14:03,249 --> 00:14:04,363
Thank you.
338
00:14:04,364 --> 00:14:05,797
Thank you, but...
339
00:14:08,425 --> 00:14:09,898
...I can't.
I can't.
340
00:14:25,268 --> 00:14:26,661
Okay...
341
00:14:30,882 --> 00:14:31,956
Good work, partner.
342
00:14:31,957 --> 00:14:33,907
Thank you.
343
00:14:33,908 --> 00:14:35,540
Hey, what do you say
we donate this one?
344
00:14:36,575 --> 00:14:37,690
Yeah. 'It's the season.
345
00:14:39,402 --> 00:14:40,436
God provided for us
346
00:14:40,437 --> 00:14:41,512
and now we get to bless
someone else.
347
00:14:42,508 --> 00:14:43,822
I love it.
348
00:14:44,578 --> 00:14:45,851
I'm lucky...
349
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:47,045
That you said yes
to that hot chocolate
350
00:14:47,046 --> 00:14:48,240
all those years ago.
351
00:14:48,241 --> 00:14:49,355
Oh, ho, ho.
352
00:14:49,356 --> 00:14:50,351
You're just lucky that place
353
00:14:50,352 --> 00:14:51,864
was stocked
full of marshmallows.
354
00:14:53,656 --> 00:14:55,964
I'm just glad we get to do this
for the rest of our lives.
355
00:14:55,965 --> 00:14:57,120
Mm-hmm.
356
00:14:58,832 --> 00:15:00,106
Mm-hmm.
357
00:15:21,168 --> 00:15:22,085
Excuse me.
358
00:15:22,086 --> 00:15:24,074
Oh!
359
00:15:24,075 --> 00:15:25,111
Oops.
360
00:15:26,424 --> 00:15:27,420
It's okay.
361
00:15:27,421 --> 00:15:29,172
I have a thousand
of these shirts.
362
00:15:30,485 --> 00:15:31,362
Do not worry
about anything, okay?
363
00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:32,515
It was my fault.
364
00:15:32,516 --> 00:15:33,550
I shouldn't have
snuck up on you like that
365
00:15:33,551 --> 00:15:35,700
especially
when you were in the zone.
366
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:37,771
- Oh...
- Do you paint?
367
00:15:37,772 --> 00:15:38,925
- I do.
- Wow, really?
368
00:15:38,926 --> 00:15:40,000
Yeah.
369
00:15:40,001 --> 00:15:41,076
That's fabulous,
because I could...
370
00:15:41,077 --> 00:15:43,026
Use your expertise,
if you don't mind.
371
00:15:43,027 --> 00:15:46,212
I'm looking for the right paint
for toy wooden trains.
372
00:15:46,213 --> 00:15:47,327
Toy wooden trains?
373
00:15:47,328 --> 00:15:48,680
Yeah, yeah.
374
00:15:48,681 --> 00:15:49,358
It's something the group does
every year at Christmas.
375
00:15:49,359 --> 00:15:50,711
Oh.
376
00:15:50,712 --> 00:15:52,264
This year, we're providing toys
to the youth center
377
00:15:52,265 --> 00:15:53,260
so they can decorate.
378
00:15:53,261 --> 00:15:54,692
Do our work and stuff like that.
379
00:15:54,693 --> 00:15:56,365
- That's really sweet.
- Thank you.
380
00:15:56,366 --> 00:15:58,634
It kinda even sounds like...
381
00:15:58,635 --> 00:16:00,426
- Fun?
- Fun.
382
00:16:00,427 --> 00:16:01,342
- Fun!
- Yeah.
383
00:16:01,343 --> 00:16:02,854
No, it's a lot
of fun, actually.
384
00:16:02,855 --> 00:16:03,692
We like to mix things up.
385
00:16:03,693 --> 00:16:05,004
I mean...
386
00:16:05,005 --> 00:16:05,882
Talking in a circle
is just one of the things we do,
387
00:16:05,883 --> 00:16:06,997
but... yeah.
388
00:16:08,589 --> 00:16:10,022
- Quick recommendation?
- Sure!
389
00:16:10,023 --> 00:16:11,455
- Yes, are you kidding? Please.
- Okay. Great.
390
00:16:11,456 --> 00:16:15,675
Um, I would recommend
the non-toxic acrylic.
391
00:16:15,676 --> 00:16:16,591
Okay.
392
00:16:16,592 --> 00:16:18,224
Especially since
it's kids, right?
393
00:16:18,225 --> 00:16:20,214
They have
every color imaginable.
394
00:16:20,215 --> 00:16:21,289
I'll just pull some for you.
395
00:16:21,290 --> 00:16:22,643
Ah, this is amazing.
Thank you so much.
396
00:16:22,644 --> 00:16:24,196
Of course!
Green, Christmas.
397
00:16:24,197 --> 00:16:25,509
Okay...
398
00:16:25,510 --> 00:16:26,824
It's kind of funny
399
00:16:26,825 --> 00:16:27,938
that we just bumped into
each other again like this.
400
00:16:27,939 --> 00:16:29,292
You know, at first, the market,
401
00:16:29,293 --> 00:16:30,646
then group, then here.
402
00:16:30,647 --> 00:16:31,961
Ooh! Nice catch.
403
00:16:32,916 --> 00:16:34,270
Well, they do say
third time's a charm.
404
00:16:35,464 --> 00:16:36,697
Except that
not so lucky.
405
00:16:36,698 --> 00:16:38,012
Yeah, well...
406
00:16:38,013 --> 00:16:39,724
You know, people do say
it's either luck, or fate,
407
00:16:39,725 --> 00:16:41,237
or god.
408
00:16:41,238 --> 00:16:43,546
Or a complete coincidence.
409
00:16:43,547 --> 00:16:44,820
Thank you.
410
00:16:44,821 --> 00:16:47,050
Well, I don't really
believe in coincidences, so.
411
00:16:47,927 --> 00:16:49,082
- Uh, hey?
- Yeah?
412
00:16:50,435 --> 00:16:53,023
I just wanted to apologize
again for the other night.
413
00:16:54,894 --> 00:16:56,924
To be honest...
414
00:16:56,925 --> 00:16:58,080
Prayer is tough for me.
415
00:16:59,194 --> 00:17:00,308
I don't know
416
00:17:00,309 --> 00:17:01,265
what I was expecting
walking into a church.
417
00:17:02,101 --> 00:17:03,016
Hey, it's okay.
418
00:17:03,017 --> 00:17:04,570
It's fine, it's fine.
419
00:17:05,605 --> 00:17:07,077
My offer still stands.
420
00:17:07,078 --> 00:17:09,187
You know, we'd love to have you,
and no praying required, okay?
421
00:17:09,188 --> 00:17:11,098
All right?
422
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:11,895
So, how much
423
00:17:11,896 --> 00:17:13,170
no, no, no.
It's on me.
424
00:17:14,125 --> 00:17:14,882
Because that's on him.
425
00:17:15,917 --> 00:17:17,230
- Thank you very much.
- Yes, of course.
426
00:17:17,231 --> 00:17:18,823
I think the blue actually
does help bring out my eyes.
427
00:17:18,824 --> 00:17:19,739
What do you think?
428
00:17:23,641 --> 00:17:24,517
- Mom?
- Hmm?
429
00:17:25,632 --> 00:17:27,384
What other things
was I good at growing up?
430
00:17:28,738 --> 00:17:30,210
What weren't you good at!
431
00:17:30,211 --> 00:17:31,484
Math, science,
432
00:17:31,485 --> 00:17:33,994
making necklaces
out of those little candies...
433
00:17:34,909 --> 00:17:36,062
A mathematician and scientist
434
00:17:36,063 --> 00:17:37,735
are probably
more practical careers,
435
00:17:37,736 --> 00:17:40,044
but making candy necklaces
sounds like a lot more fun.
436
00:17:40,045 --> 00:17:41,916
Uh-oh.
437
00:17:41,917 --> 00:17:42,951
Has your creative block
438
00:17:42,952 --> 00:17:44,066
progressed to the point
439
00:17:44,067 --> 00:17:45,579
where you're considering
changing careers?
440
00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:49,282
It's just I kept the apartment
for the art studio,
441
00:17:49,283 --> 00:17:51,552
but now I don't even
want to make art, so.
442
00:17:52,548 --> 00:17:54,895
You might feel that way now,
but you'll get your groove back.
443
00:17:54,896 --> 00:17:56,329
You know,
it just takes time.
444
00:17:56,330 --> 00:18:01,068
Or maybe it's time
I let it go.
445
00:18:03,855 --> 00:18:05,527
You know...
446
00:18:05,528 --> 00:18:09,588
Greg loved
talking about your gifts,
447
00:18:09,589 --> 00:18:10,504
your compassion,
448
00:18:10,505 --> 00:18:11,618
your...
449
00:18:11,619 --> 00:18:13,489
Perseverance...
450
00:18:13,490 --> 00:18:15,203
Your knack for helping others.
451
00:18:16,835 --> 00:18:19,541
So, before you go make
any big decisions,
452
00:18:19,542 --> 00:18:22,766
think about the ways
that your...
453
00:18:22,767 --> 00:18:24,081
Gifts
454
00:18:24,082 --> 00:18:25,037
influence your art.
455
00:18:26,749 --> 00:18:28,301
Whoa!
456
00:18:28,302 --> 00:18:30,411
Did Michelangelo
design these?
457
00:18:30,412 --> 00:18:32,163
Oh, dad.
458
00:18:32,164 --> 00:18:33,517
Hey, where are you going
with those?
459
00:18:33,518 --> 00:18:35,348
Well...
460
00:18:35,349 --> 00:18:36,821
I am going to take them
461
00:18:36,822 --> 00:18:38,613
to some people...
462
00:18:38,614 --> 00:18:39,928
Who could use
a little Christmas cheer.
463
00:18:43,312 --> 00:18:44,346
That looks great, Ethel.
464
00:18:44,347 --> 00:18:45,580
Thank you.
465
00:18:45,581 --> 00:18:47,770
Thank you for taking the lead
on the trimmings.
466
00:18:47,771 --> 00:18:49,045
You're welcome.
467
00:18:49,046 --> 00:18:50,916
So what do you say
we get started, guys?
468
00:18:50,917 --> 00:18:52,071
Huh?
469
00:18:52,072 --> 00:18:53,425
Yeah, sounds good.
470
00:18:53,426 --> 00:18:54,420
It's about time.
471
00:18:54,421 --> 00:18:55,614
All right...
472
00:18:55,615 --> 00:18:57,129
Hi.
473
00:19:02,782 --> 00:19:04,216
I brought cookies.
474
00:19:05,331 --> 00:19:07,041
I hope I don't spoil
your dinner.
475
00:19:07,042 --> 00:19:08,714
Not at all.
476
00:19:08,715 --> 00:19:10,545
Justin already
spoiled our dinner!
477
00:19:10,546 --> 00:19:12,298
But we always
have room for more.
478
00:19:13,731 --> 00:19:14,845
Well...
479
00:19:14,846 --> 00:19:17,512
Technically,
they are "apology cookies".
480
00:19:17,513 --> 00:19:18,627
I am
481
00:19:18,628 --> 00:19:20,658
I'm really sorry
for running out.
482
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:22,012
No need
to apologize, dear.
483
00:19:22,013 --> 00:19:23,884
We're just happy you came back!
484
00:19:23,885 --> 00:19:26,631
This group
is all about second chances.
485
00:19:26,632 --> 00:19:28,979
Yeah, and third chances,
fourth chances...
486
00:19:28,980 --> 00:19:29,936
However many it takes.
487
00:19:29,937 --> 00:19:32,244
Yeah.
488
00:19:32,245 --> 00:19:34,991
So, since this is
Traci's official first meeting,
489
00:19:34,992 --> 00:19:35,988
I'd like to remind everybody
490
00:19:35,989 --> 00:19:38,098
this is
a judgment-free zone here.
491
00:19:38,099 --> 00:19:39,371
Speak freely, honestly,
492
00:19:39,372 --> 00:19:40,328
but only if you're led,
493
00:19:40,328 --> 00:19:41,164
and keep in mind
494
00:19:41,165 --> 00:19:42,755
that whatever is said here...
495
00:19:42,756 --> 00:19:44,668
Stays here. Okay?
496
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:47,613
I thought we'd start
with some check-ins.
497
00:19:47,614 --> 00:19:49,046
Let's have a seat,
shall we?
498
00:19:49,047 --> 00:19:50,083
Okay.
499
00:19:54,742 --> 00:19:57,368
I took a trip
down to the Christmas market,
500
00:19:57,369 --> 00:20:01,550
where Ron and I used to play
Santa and Mrs. Claus.
501
00:20:03,461 --> 00:20:05,531
I didn't stay for very long,
502
00:20:05,532 --> 00:20:07,402
but I...
503
00:20:07,403 --> 00:20:09,910
I did manage to sit
with the discomfort
504
00:20:09,911 --> 00:20:10,867
for a little while.
505
00:20:10,867 --> 00:20:11,742
That's good,
506
00:20:11,743 --> 00:20:13,454
because I know that you and Ron
507
00:20:13,455 --> 00:20:14,727
have shared
a lot of memories there.
508
00:20:14,728 --> 00:20:16,839
So many happy ones.
509
00:20:20,104 --> 00:20:23,527
Ron was the best Santa
in the whole world.
510
00:20:23,528 --> 00:20:24,602
We married later in life,
511
00:20:24,603 --> 00:20:26,473
so we never had
any kids of our own.
512
00:20:26,474 --> 00:20:27,628
But one year,
513
00:20:27,629 --> 00:20:30,216
Ron had the idea
to volunteer as Santa.
514
00:20:30,217 --> 00:20:31,251
...definitely on the nice list.
515
00:20:31,252 --> 00:20:33,084
He already had
the look down pat.
516
00:20:34,597 --> 00:20:37,622
Santa sees a toy truck
in your future.
517
00:20:37,623 --> 00:20:38,539
Oh!
518
00:20:39,654 --> 00:20:41,604
What would I do without you,
Mrs. Claus?
519
00:20:43,755 --> 00:20:44,670
Plus the occasional kid
520
00:20:44,671 --> 00:20:45,943
that would tug on his beard
521
00:20:45,944 --> 00:20:48,412
to make sure
he was the real Santa.
522
00:20:48,413 --> 00:20:50,402
Yeah.
523
00:20:50,403 --> 00:20:51,757
His beard was real.
It was real.
524
00:20:52,991 --> 00:20:54,942
My husband passed away
a couple of years ago,
525
00:20:54,943 --> 00:20:56,018
and...
526
00:20:57,292 --> 00:20:58,844
...life has not been
the same since then, but...
527
00:21:00,836 --> 00:21:02,388
...the passing of time helps.
528
00:21:03,343 --> 00:21:06,250
Especially when you're
surrounded by loved ones.
529
00:21:07,166 --> 00:21:08,161
Thank you.
530
00:21:08,162 --> 00:21:09,196
Thank you!
531
00:21:10,192 --> 00:21:11,385
Thank you. Yeah.
532
00:21:11,386 --> 00:21:12,382
May I actually go next?
533
00:21:12,382 --> 00:21:13,337
Of course.
534
00:21:13,338 --> 00:21:14,730
Yeah, I...
535
00:21:14,731 --> 00:21:16,203
I was supposed to stop
by my parents' house
536
00:21:16,204 --> 00:21:17,080
the other night for dinner,
537
00:21:17,081 --> 00:21:18,154
but...
538
00:21:18,155 --> 00:21:19,308
I just told myself
539
00:21:19,309 --> 00:21:20,423
it would end
in another argument.
540
00:21:20,424 --> 00:21:22,415
So I went back to the bakery,
541
00:21:22,416 --> 00:21:23,570
as usual.
542
00:21:24,804 --> 00:21:26,077
I mean, it's just...
543
00:21:26,078 --> 00:21:28,944
I think it's just
where I feel closest to Nai Nai.
544
00:21:28,945 --> 00:21:30,139
Oh! Nai Nai is my grandmother.
545
00:21:31,095 --> 00:21:32,091
Yeah, I've been running
her bakery
546
00:21:32,092 --> 00:21:33,443
ever since she passed away
last year,
547
00:21:33,444 --> 00:21:36,070
hence our weekly sugar-rushes.
548
00:21:36,071 --> 00:21:37,902
Thank you.
549
00:21:37,903 --> 00:21:40,411
I dropped out of law school
to take it over.
550
00:21:40,412 --> 00:21:42,641
And that did not go over well
with my dad.
551
00:21:44,792 --> 00:21:45,945
Well, Justin,
552
00:21:45,946 --> 00:21:47,498
I know you'll patch things up
with your dad.
553
00:21:47,499 --> 00:21:48,692
You will.
554
00:21:48,693 --> 00:21:50,922
When the time is right, okay?
555
00:21:50,923 --> 00:21:52,715
Thanks. I hope so.
556
00:21:54,387 --> 00:21:55,342
Regina?
557
00:21:57,334 --> 00:21:58,886
Would you like
to share anything today?
558
00:22:04,023 --> 00:22:05,257
That's totally okay.
559
00:22:09,437 --> 00:22:10,552
Traci?
560
00:22:11,985 --> 00:22:13,657
And there's no pressure at all.
561
00:22:13,658 --> 00:22:14,813
I feel angry.
562
00:22:16,445 --> 00:22:17,996
Okay.
563
00:22:17,997 --> 00:22:19,829
That's all
I really want to say.
564
00:22:22,815 --> 00:22:23,771
Thank you for sharing.
565
00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:29,624
Thank you, all.
566
00:22:31,575 --> 00:22:33,764
...and the fire alarm
in the kitchen was blaring.
567
00:22:33,765 --> 00:22:35,237
When the firefighters
showed up,
568
00:22:35,238 --> 00:22:36,909
I was mortified.
569
00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:38,860
I mean, it was my first time
baking all those pies at once.
570
00:22:38,861 --> 00:22:40,970
You know, Nai Nai trusted
I could do it all on my own,
571
00:22:40,971 --> 00:22:42,882
but she probably trusted me
a little too much.
572
00:22:44,753 --> 00:22:46,584
But, you know, she still gave me
another chance after that,
573
00:22:46,585 --> 00:22:48,257
and that's
what I loved about her.
574
00:22:48,258 --> 00:22:50,168
She she embodied
the spirit of forgiveness.
575
00:22:50,169 --> 00:22:52,637
I think your Nai Nai and I
would have made fast friends.
576
00:22:52,638 --> 00:22:53,553
No doubt about it.
577
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:57,534
I... I have a question.
578
00:22:57,535 --> 00:22:58,968
Sure.
579
00:22:59,844 --> 00:23:02,471
Does talking about all this...
580
00:23:02,472 --> 00:23:03,785
Ever make you feel like
581
00:23:03,786 --> 00:23:06,453
you're just reliving the pain
of the loss of them
582
00:23:06,454 --> 00:23:08,404
over and over again?
583
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,753
I felt a lot of anger, too.
584
00:23:12,067 --> 00:23:14,375
It seemed like everyone
was trying really hard
585
00:23:14,376 --> 00:23:15,372
to say the right thing.
586
00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:17,401
I appreciated their efforts,
587
00:23:17,402 --> 00:23:18,914
but I was so angry
588
00:23:18,915 --> 00:23:21,105
that nobody
could really understand.
589
00:23:22,976 --> 00:23:23,853
They understand.
590
00:23:29,069 --> 00:23:30,183
So...
591
00:23:30,184 --> 00:23:31,536
I just want to say,
before we close tonight,
592
00:23:31,537 --> 00:23:34,165
I need to discuss
one small order of business.
593
00:23:35,877 --> 00:23:37,150
Now, I know we all know
594
00:23:37,151 --> 00:23:38,862
that helping others
during the holiday season,
595
00:23:38,863 --> 00:23:40,853
it's a big thing
of what we do here,
596
00:23:40,854 --> 00:23:43,361
so we are all volunteering
at the children's youth center
597
00:23:43,362 --> 00:23:44,516
this Sunday
598
00:23:44,517 --> 00:23:45,910
for the polar express
Christmas party.
599
00:23:45,911 --> 00:23:48,458
But we have to all discuss
how we can contribute, so...
600
00:23:48,459 --> 00:23:49,573
I've got baked goods covered.
601
00:23:49,574 --> 00:23:50,648
Check.
602
00:23:50,649 --> 00:23:51,842
- I could bring some decorations.
- Love it.
603
00:23:51,843 --> 00:23:52,917
I can handle story-telling.
604
00:23:52,918 --> 00:23:55,067
Good. Okay.
605
00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:56,460
There's one thing missing.
606
00:23:56,461 --> 00:23:58,532
We need somebody who can
actually help paint toy trains.
607
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,150
Man, I wish we knew somebody
with that skill set...
608
00:24:10,158 --> 00:24:11,114
I will be there.
609
00:24:11,115 --> 00:24:12,745
Great! Thank you, Traci!
610
00:24:12,746 --> 00:24:13,780
Yes.
611
00:24:13,781 --> 00:24:14,777
All right, session complete.
612
00:24:14,778 --> 00:24:16,090
See you all this weekend.
613
00:24:45,355 --> 00:24:46,390
Hi.
614
00:24:46,391 --> 00:24:47,943
Hey.
615
00:24:54,155 --> 00:24:56,861
You seem...
616
00:24:56,862 --> 00:24:58,335
Happy.
617
00:24:59,569 --> 00:25:00,683
Well, why wouldn't I be?
618
00:25:00,684 --> 00:25:02,157
Look who's sitting next to me.
619
00:25:16,093 --> 00:25:17,803
Traci! Traci!
620
00:25:17,804 --> 00:25:18,721
Hey.
621
00:25:18,722 --> 00:25:20,114
Um...
622
00:25:20,115 --> 00:25:21,707
I just wanted to say
I'm glad you came tonight.
623
00:25:22,662 --> 00:25:23,658
Oh...
624
00:25:23,658 --> 00:25:24,653
All right, listen.
625
00:25:24,653 --> 00:25:25,569
Hit me with it
first impressions?
626
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,589
Everyone was warm and welcoming.
627
00:25:29,590 --> 00:25:31,899
Sorry my contributions
were a bit...
628
00:25:33,134 --> 00:25:34,407
...minimal.
629
00:25:34,408 --> 00:25:35,482
What are you talking about?
No, they weren't at all.
630
00:25:35,483 --> 00:25:36,636
There are no expectations, ever.
631
00:25:36,637 --> 00:25:38,189
- Thank you.
- I mean, look at Regina.
632
00:25:38,190 --> 00:25:39,424
She's been here
for, I think, a few months
633
00:25:39,425 --> 00:25:40,619
and has only said
a couple of words, so.
634
00:25:41,972 --> 00:25:43,207
Everybody's at their own pace.
635
00:25:45,238 --> 00:25:46,830
So, I will see you
Sunday, right?
636
00:25:47,865 --> 00:25:48,782
Paintbrush in-hand.
637
00:25:48,783 --> 00:25:50,055
Hey, I'll keep
my distance then.
638
00:25:53,041 --> 00:25:54,434
I noticed...
639
00:25:54,435 --> 00:25:56,744
That you didn't share.
640
00:25:59,173 --> 00:26:00,287
Sorry?
641
00:26:00,288 --> 00:26:01,363
I don't mean to assume...
642
00:26:02,637 --> 00:26:04,031
Have you also lost someone?
643
00:26:06,817 --> 00:26:08,250
I mean...
Yeah, I mean...
644
00:26:08,251 --> 00:26:09,564
You know what,
you don't need to answer that.
645
00:26:09,565 --> 00:26:10,560
I should not
have asked you that.
646
00:26:10,561 --> 00:26:11,634
It's okay.
647
00:26:11,635 --> 00:26:13,108
No, it's totally okay,
all right?
648
00:26:14,104 --> 00:26:15,138
It's just, as the leader,
649
00:26:15,139 --> 00:26:16,453
I like to put my focus
on everyone else.
650
00:26:18,045 --> 00:26:19,159
But listen,
I've got to lock up.
651
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,668
I'm glad you came tonight again.
652
00:26:21,669 --> 00:26:22,625
Goodnight, okay?
653
00:26:22,626 --> 00:26:24,098
Yeah.
654
00:26:26,009 --> 00:26:27,561
- I'll see you Sunday?
- Yeah.
655
00:26:27,562 --> 00:26:28,597
All right!
656
00:26:41,139 --> 00:26:42,652
Trace?
657
00:26:44,484 --> 00:26:46,712
Picked you up
some morning motivation!
658
00:26:46,713 --> 00:26:48,983
Peppermint mocha!
659
00:26:52,248 --> 00:26:55,073
How are you so joyful
so early in the morning?
660
00:26:55,074 --> 00:26:57,105
"Joy" it's right there
in my name!
661
00:26:59,016 --> 00:27:00,131
- Hi.
- Hi.
662
00:27:01,285 --> 00:27:02,758
Oh!
663
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:03,595
Oh, no, no, no, no.
664
00:27:03,596 --> 00:27:04,828
It's not there yet, it's not,
665
00:27:04,829 --> 00:27:06,740
but at least I was able
to get some work done
666
00:27:06,741 --> 00:27:07,854
after last night.
667
00:27:07,855 --> 00:27:09,845
Oh! After the group, right?
668
00:27:09,846 --> 00:27:10,920
How was that?
669
00:27:10,921 --> 00:27:12,074
You know what,
670
00:27:12,075 --> 00:27:14,981
it... it wasn't horrible, actually.
671
00:27:14,982 --> 00:27:17,011
I mean, I don't know
how much I'll share,
672
00:27:17,012 --> 00:27:18,086
if at all,
673
00:27:18,087 --> 00:27:19,361
but it was kind of nice
674
00:27:19,362 --> 00:27:20,635
being around people
675
00:27:20,636 --> 00:27:22,666
who understood
what I was going through.
676
00:27:23,662 --> 00:27:25,493
I know, I know.
You were right.
677
00:27:26,887 --> 00:27:29,553
It seems to be having
a positive effect on your art.
678
00:27:29,554 --> 00:27:30,787
I mean, look
679
00:27:30,788 --> 00:27:32,022
you've gone from half-paintings
680
00:27:32,023 --> 00:27:33,336
to three-fourths of paintings!
681
00:27:33,337 --> 00:27:35,566
I think that's called
deadline anxiety.
682
00:27:36,681 --> 00:27:38,194
Have you landed on a theme?
683
00:27:40,105 --> 00:27:41,220
- Ready for it?
- Mm-hmm.
684
00:27:44,047 --> 00:27:45,161
"Christmas"!
685
00:27:45,162 --> 00:27:46,874
I'm gonna need
a little more than that
686
00:27:46,875 --> 00:27:48,187
for the promotional materials.
687
00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:50,019
I'll keep working on it.
688
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:52,169
Okay, well, I'll let you be.
689
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:56,151
Remember, the artists'
meet and greet is next week.
690
00:27:56,152 --> 00:27:58,141
Talking about
what you're planning to present
691
00:27:58,142 --> 00:27:59,536
will really help generate
some buzz.
692
00:28:00,570 --> 00:28:01,447
Greg used to do that.
693
00:28:01,448 --> 00:28:03,476
Hey...
694
00:28:03,477 --> 00:28:04,950
You're not gonna be
alone up there.
695
00:28:06,344 --> 00:28:08,773
I'll be right next to you
if you need me.
696
00:28:09,967 --> 00:28:11,162
Thank you.
697
00:28:12,834 --> 00:28:14,306
I'm gonna work
for a few more hours,
698
00:28:14,307 --> 00:28:16,854
and then I'm gonna meet Michael
at the youth center.
699
00:28:16,855 --> 00:28:18,049
Michael?
700
00:28:18,050 --> 00:28:19,761
Uh, he leads the support group,
701
00:28:19,762 --> 00:28:20,955
and we're
702
00:28:20,956 --> 00:28:21,952
we're volunteering
at the youth center today.
703
00:28:21,953 --> 00:28:22,986
Great.
704
00:28:22,987 --> 00:28:24,180
Oh, wait
705
00:28:24,181 --> 00:28:25,295
he's the guy,
706
00:28:25,296 --> 00:28:26,489
the one from the market,
707
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:27,446
with the ornament.
708
00:28:27,447 --> 00:28:28,719
The handsome one
709
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,551
who got all shy around you
like a boy with a crush?
710
00:28:30,552 --> 00:28:32,860
I think we're remembering
that moment differently,
711
00:28:32,861 --> 00:28:33,975
but yes.
712
00:28:33,976 --> 00:28:35,608
Mm-hmm.
713
00:28:35,609 --> 00:28:36,604
What are the odds
714
00:28:36,605 --> 00:28:37,997
you'd bump into him
at the market?
715
00:28:41,421 --> 00:28:44,129
Maybe that divine meeting
was just meant to be.
716
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:46,955
I don't know
that I really believe
717
00:28:46,956 --> 00:28:49,224
that anything
is "meant to be" anymore.
718
00:28:49,225 --> 00:28:50,778
But you know
what I do believe in?
719
00:28:50,779 --> 00:28:51,734
Hmm?
720
00:28:51,735 --> 00:28:52,967
- Coffee.
- Coffee!
721
00:28:52,968 --> 00:28:54,163
- Coffee.
- Coffee.
722
00:29:22,313 --> 00:29:24,063
Amazing, guys!
723
00:29:24,064 --> 00:29:25,496
Yes! Yes!
724
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:26,811
Take five, guys.
I appreciate that.
725
00:29:26,812 --> 00:29:28,403
Thank you, thank you.
726
00:29:28,404 --> 00:29:29,519
All right.
727
00:29:30,992 --> 00:29:32,386
Regina! Hey!
728
00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:34,854
Hi.
729
00:29:36,049 --> 00:29:37,163
Any chance
we'll see you back up here
730
00:29:37,164 --> 00:29:38,477
one of these Sundays, or?
731
00:29:39,513 --> 00:29:40,508
Maybe.
732
00:29:40,509 --> 00:29:43,215
The choir
isn't the same without you.
733
00:29:44,649 --> 00:29:45,764
I miss you.
734
00:29:48,909 --> 00:29:50,063
We miss you!
735
00:29:53,607 --> 00:29:54,523
And I know
she would love to hear you
736
00:29:54,524 --> 00:29:55,758
up there again, too.
737
00:30:00,734 --> 00:30:01,690
I'll... I'll see you soon.
738
00:30:01,690 --> 00:30:02,645
Hey...
739
00:30:07,622 --> 00:30:09,493
All right, y'all.
740
00:30:09,494 --> 00:30:10,609
Round two!
741
00:30:17,894 --> 00:30:18,850
Hello, Michael!
742
00:30:18,851 --> 00:30:20,521
Denise, hey!
743
00:30:20,522 --> 00:30:21,915
Merry Christmas.
744
00:30:21,916 --> 00:30:22,990
So, listen, I've got clothes,
745
00:30:22,991 --> 00:30:24,742
I've got books,
I've got toys galore.
746
00:30:24,743 --> 00:30:26,175
Well, on behalf
of me and the kids,
747
00:30:26,176 --> 00:30:27,689
it's always
very much appreciated.
748
00:30:27,690 --> 00:30:29,082
Well, I appreciate you.
749
00:30:29,083 --> 00:30:31,232
Um, I've got to get
all of these boxes in there
750
00:30:31,233 --> 00:30:32,466
before the group arrives, so.
751
00:30:32,467 --> 00:30:34,297
- Hey.
- Yeah?
752
00:30:34,298 --> 00:30:36,885
I'm a little worried about you.
753
00:30:36,886 --> 00:30:38,796
Yeah, I'm doing fine.
754
00:30:38,797 --> 00:30:40,111
I'm fine. No.
755
00:30:40,112 --> 00:30:41,703
I'm just trying to help out
wherever there's a need.
756
00:30:41,704 --> 00:30:42,620
Just like melody did.
757
00:30:44,810 --> 00:30:46,123
I've known you and melody
for years now,
758
00:30:46,124 --> 00:30:47,916
so I think I can say this...
759
00:30:49,230 --> 00:30:50,503
It seems like
you're trying to atone
760
00:30:50,504 --> 00:30:52,175
for something
you had no control over.
761
00:30:55,361 --> 00:30:56,754
Denise, I don't know
what else to do.
762
00:30:56,755 --> 00:30:58,227
Okay?
763
00:30:58,228 --> 00:30:59,938
I know this isn't
going to bring her back,
764
00:30:59,939 --> 00:31:01,970
but it definitely
eases the guilt.
765
00:31:01,971 --> 00:31:03,763
You have nothing
to feel guilty about.
766
00:31:06,509 --> 00:31:08,021
Well, listen...
767
00:31:08,022 --> 00:31:10,013
Would you mind helping me
finish all these?
768
00:31:41,348 --> 00:31:42,860
- You're getting a workout.
- Tell me about it.
769
00:31:42,861 --> 00:31:45,210
Makes up for all those weeks
I skipped leg day.
770
00:31:47,918 --> 00:31:49,032
Hey, tell you what
771
00:31:49,033 --> 00:31:50,426
why don't you and I
do some face painting?
772
00:31:51,421 --> 00:31:52,894
And then we give
conductor Michael here
773
00:31:52,895 --> 00:31:53,850
a little bit of a break.
774
00:31:53,851 --> 00:31:55,004
What do you think?
775
00:31:55,005 --> 00:31:55,881
All right.
776
00:31:55,881 --> 00:31:56,756
All right, come on.
777
00:31:56,757 --> 00:31:57,871
One, two, three oh!
778
00:31:58,907 --> 00:32:00,060
All right, so here's the deal.
779
00:32:00,061 --> 00:32:03,644
The key is you just
have to sit super still
780
00:32:03,645 --> 00:32:04,759
cookies!
781
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:05,635
There she goes.
782
00:32:07,666 --> 00:32:08,621
There goes my subject.
783
00:32:09,856 --> 00:32:10,851
Well, you know what,
I'll be your muse.
784
00:32:10,852 --> 00:32:11,966
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
785
00:32:15,748 --> 00:32:17,181
- Here we go...
- All right.
786
00:32:17,182 --> 00:32:18,138
Are you ready for this?
787
00:32:18,139 --> 00:32:19,292
Yeah. Make me pretty.
788
00:32:22,318 --> 00:32:23,432
All right...
789
00:32:23,433 --> 00:32:24,827
- Okay.
- Okay.
790
00:32:25,742 --> 00:32:26,937
You know,
you're really good with kids.
791
00:32:28,011 --> 00:32:29,166
How can you not love them?
792
00:32:29,167 --> 00:32:31,316
They inspire me
to have "child-like faith".
793
00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:34,064
I guess you're right.
794
00:32:38,643 --> 00:32:39,997
All right.
795
00:32:40,912 --> 00:32:43,300
This might truly be
my best work yet.
796
00:32:43,301 --> 00:32:44,415
Really?
797
00:32:44,416 --> 00:32:46,127
- I mean... yes.
- Drumroll.
798
00:32:46,128 --> 00:32:47,522
Pretty amazing.
799
00:32:49,552 --> 00:32:50,468
Ta-dah!
800
00:32:50,469 --> 00:32:52,139
Oh! Wow!
801
00:32:52,140 --> 00:32:53,174
Oh, no.
I'm not done.
802
00:32:53,175 --> 00:32:54,687
I'm going into vogue.
803
00:32:54,688 --> 00:32:55,684
I'm not done!
804
00:32:55,685 --> 00:32:56,718
Here we go!
805
00:32:56,719 --> 00:32:57,793
Now you're done.
806
00:32:57,794 --> 00:32:59,147
Oh, that's...
807
00:33:00,183 --> 00:33:02,451
Guys, come look at
conductor Michael!
808
00:33:02,452 --> 00:33:04,601
I mean, look at this.
809
00:33:04,602 --> 00:33:06,233
- Rudolph the reindeer!
- Rudolph the reindeer!
810
00:33:06,234 --> 00:33:07,589
Rudolph the reindeer!
811
00:33:20,290 --> 00:33:21,723
Those kids had a blast!
812
00:33:22,679 --> 00:33:23,712
I think
the more exhausted we were,
813
00:33:23,713 --> 00:33:25,266
the more fun they had.
814
00:33:25,267 --> 00:33:26,222
That's a good way
of putting it.
815
00:33:26,223 --> 00:33:27,296
I'm spent.
816
00:33:27,297 --> 00:33:28,173
Listen, guys,
I want to thank you
817
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:29,207
for your hard work today.
818
00:33:29,208 --> 00:33:31,716
It was such
a special, special day.
819
00:33:31,717 --> 00:33:32,871
Good job.
820
00:33:36,057 --> 00:33:37,489
Do you want me
to put it over here?
821
00:33:37,490 --> 00:33:39,083
No, let's just
put all the stuff down here.
822
00:33:56,681 --> 00:33:58,949
The doctor said not to worry.
823
00:33:58,950 --> 00:34:00,902
You've got the best care
in the world.
824
00:34:01,817 --> 00:34:02,932
How are you?
825
00:34:05,879 --> 00:34:07,352
Always putting others first.
826
00:34:09,183 --> 00:34:10,617
I love
your big, beautiful heart.
827
00:34:12,966 --> 00:34:14,758
At least that's one part of me
that's still in good shape.
828
00:34:23,278 --> 00:34:24,949
I'm gonna be home
before you know it.
829
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:27,895
We're gonna be painting...
830
00:34:27,896 --> 00:34:29,688
Eating too many
Christmas cookies.
831
00:34:31,003 --> 00:34:31,958
Singing in church...
832
00:34:34,347 --> 00:34:35,780
Front row?
833
00:34:36,815 --> 00:34:38,288
Best seats in the house.
834
00:34:40,876 --> 00:34:42,987
Yeah.
835
00:35:00,068 --> 00:35:01,779
"Best seats in the house."
836
00:35:22,006 --> 00:35:24,196
- Hey, trace!
- Hi!
837
00:35:25,988 --> 00:35:28,415
December 15th!
838
00:35:28,416 --> 00:35:29,530
Don't remind me.
839
00:35:29,531 --> 00:35:31,680
The gallery is neigh.
840
00:35:31,681 --> 00:35:33,153
Don't you mean "nigh"?
841
00:35:33,154 --> 00:35:36,259
I like "neigh,"
like the reindeer would say.
842
00:35:36,260 --> 00:35:37,495
'Tis the season, right?
843
00:35:38,848 --> 00:35:39,843
Thank you!
844
00:35:39,844 --> 00:35:42,510
Got a front-page ad
for your exhibit!
845
00:35:42,511 --> 00:35:43,585
Oh, man.
846
00:35:43,586 --> 00:35:46,373
And top billing
on the gallery invite.
847
00:35:47,289 --> 00:35:52,345
"Traci Fremont returns
for a holiday surprise."
848
00:35:52,346 --> 00:35:53,379
You're a genius.
849
00:35:53,380 --> 00:35:55,450
It'll add intrigue,
850
00:35:55,451 --> 00:35:57,082
and give you more time
to pick a theme.
851
00:35:57,083 --> 00:35:59,312
Now, don't forget,
meet and greet is on Thursday.
852
00:35:59,313 --> 00:36:00,627
Think you could have it
figured out by then?
853
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:04,648
Traci Fremont return...
854
00:36:04,649 --> 00:36:06,122
Is neigh."
855
00:36:08,352 --> 00:36:09,545
- Yeah.
- I'll keep working on it.
856
00:36:09,546 --> 00:36:10,541
Okay.
857
00:36:18,783 --> 00:36:20,056
Oh...
858
00:36:20,057 --> 00:36:21,172
It all looks so good.
859
00:36:23,601 --> 00:36:25,033
How much for one of everything?
860
00:36:25,034 --> 00:36:26,068
Traci?
861
00:36:26,069 --> 00:36:27,541
After all your stories,
862
00:36:27,542 --> 00:36:29,373
I feel like I'm visiting
a historical landmark.
863
00:36:29,374 --> 00:36:31,642
Yeah. Well, in a way,
it kind of is one.
864
00:36:31,643 --> 00:36:33,155
Are you headed to group soon?
865
00:36:33,156 --> 00:36:34,032
Yeah.
866
00:36:34,033 --> 00:36:35,505
I just gotta put
some stuff away.
867
00:36:35,506 --> 00:36:36,700
Did you
did you wanna walk together?
868
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:38,769
I would love that.
869
00:36:38,770 --> 00:36:39,964
Cool.
870
00:36:39,965 --> 00:36:41,676
Ooh, one last thing.
871
00:36:42,911 --> 00:36:44,782
Compliments of the chef.
872
00:36:44,783 --> 00:36:45,777
How can I resist?
873
00:36:45,777 --> 00:36:46,733
Let me see...
874
00:36:47,848 --> 00:36:49,042
Maybe this.
875
00:36:49,043 --> 00:36:49,959
Best choice.
876
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,074
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
877
00:36:55,612 --> 00:36:57,005
Mm...
878
00:36:57,006 --> 00:36:58,239
Mm!
879
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:01,584
Wait, is this chocolate
inside a chocolate donut
880
00:37:01,585 --> 00:37:03,415
with chocolate frosting
and chocolate sprinkles?
881
00:37:03,416 --> 00:37:04,570
Oh, yeah!
882
00:37:04,571 --> 00:37:06,799
That is Nai Nai's
quadruple chocolate donut.
883
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,113
It's about
a week's worth of calories.
884
00:37:08,114 --> 00:37:09,030
Worth it.
885
00:37:09,031 --> 00:37:10,264
That's what they say.
886
00:37:11,857 --> 00:37:12,852
Now...
887
00:37:12,853 --> 00:37:14,046
Has your dad tried this?
888
00:37:15,361 --> 00:37:16,475
He...
889
00:37:16,476 --> 00:37:17,789
Won't even set foot in here.
890
00:37:17,790 --> 00:37:20,734
I think if your dad
could see, or, rather, taste,
891
00:37:20,735 --> 00:37:23,084
how talented you are...
892
00:37:23,085 --> 00:37:24,080
He'd be more supportive.
893
00:37:24,081 --> 00:37:25,154
Right.
894
00:37:25,155 --> 00:37:26,827
But...
895
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:28,659
That would just require us
to have a conversation first.
896
00:37:30,212 --> 00:37:31,287
I'll be right back.
897
00:37:34,632 --> 00:37:36,383
For sure...
898
00:37:36,384 --> 00:37:37,457
Um...
899
00:37:37,458 --> 00:37:38,454
I'll see you in there.
900
00:37:38,455 --> 00:37:39,727
Oh, do you mind taking this?
901
00:37:39,728 --> 00:37:41,042
Thanks.
902
00:37:43,311 --> 00:37:44,147
"The best seats in the house".
903
00:37:45,182 --> 00:37:46,099
Hey.
904
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:47,292
Hey!
905
00:37:47,293 --> 00:37:48,846
I'm sorry, what was that?
906
00:37:49,802 --> 00:37:52,030
That's what Greg always called
the front row
907
00:37:52,031 --> 00:37:52,946
"the best seats in the house".
908
00:37:52,946 --> 00:37:53,863
Oh, right.
909
00:37:53,864 --> 00:37:55,056
Well...
910
00:37:55,057 --> 00:37:55,972
He definitely wasn't wrong.
911
00:37:55,973 --> 00:37:57,405
I'm sorry, I'm interrupting
912
00:37:57,406 --> 00:37:58,599
no, no, no, no.
913
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:59,993
No. You're not interrupting
at all, actually.
914
00:37:59,994 --> 00:38:01,268
I just
915
00:38:01,269 --> 00:38:02,660
I always come here early
to pray for the group, so.
916
00:38:02,661 --> 00:38:03,776
Any requests?
917
00:38:06,126 --> 00:38:07,160
Where does one begin?
918
00:38:08,275 --> 00:38:09,987
You know, I have a...
919
00:38:09,988 --> 00:38:11,141
- A deadline...
- Hmm.
920
00:38:11,142 --> 00:38:12,694
...and no idea what to present.
921
00:38:12,695 --> 00:38:14,406
So...
922
00:38:14,407 --> 00:38:15,323
A miracle?
923
00:38:16,518 --> 00:38:17,473
A miracle it is.
924
00:38:24,361 --> 00:38:26,590
Do you ever wonder if it...
925
00:38:26,591 --> 00:38:27,746
If it doesn't work?
926
00:38:29,298 --> 00:38:31,965
Hmm.
927
00:38:31,966 --> 00:38:34,354
You know, I think...
928
00:38:34,355 --> 00:38:36,305
I think a small degree of doubt
is normal.
929
00:38:36,306 --> 00:38:39,928
But I also believe that
god answers prayers sometimes
930
00:38:39,929 --> 00:38:41,243
in ways we don't expect.
931
00:38:42,676 --> 00:38:44,110
Hmm.
932
00:38:46,579 --> 00:38:47,733
I stopped praying.
933
00:38:49,365 --> 00:38:50,241
When I lost him.
934
00:38:52,829 --> 00:38:54,103
It just...
935
00:38:54,104 --> 00:38:55,217
Feels so wrong to say that.
936
00:38:55,218 --> 00:38:56,532
Hey, hey, hey...
937
00:38:58,603 --> 00:38:59,518
...it's not.
938
00:39:00,832 --> 00:39:02,066
It's normal.
939
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:04,854
It's honest.
940
00:39:05,769 --> 00:39:06,962
And it's honest.
941
00:39:06,963 --> 00:39:08,038
Yes.
942
00:39:10,228 --> 00:39:12,537
I hope I wasn't being rude
943
00:39:12,538 --> 00:39:14,488
whenever I asked you
if you had lost someone.
944
00:39:14,489 --> 00:39:15,405
No.
945
00:39:15,406 --> 00:39:17,076
No, you weren't rude at all.
946
00:39:17,077 --> 00:39:18,232
It's okay.
947
00:39:20,183 --> 00:39:21,297
The truth is...
948
00:39:24,403 --> 00:39:25,359
...I have lost someone.
949
00:39:26,632 --> 00:39:28,226
- I'm really sorry.
- That's okay.
950
00:39:29,340 --> 00:39:31,847
We don't have to talk about it.
Honestly, I
951
00:39:31,848 --> 00:39:33,878
I couldn't really
help you anyway.
952
00:39:33,879 --> 00:39:38,218
I mean, my faith
is not exactly sturdy, so.
953
00:39:38,219 --> 00:39:40,607
Well, in that case...
954
00:39:40,608 --> 00:39:42,080
You know, god says
955
00:39:42,081 --> 00:39:43,037
all you need is to have faith
the size of a mustard seed.
956
00:39:44,072 --> 00:39:45,386
I have a feeling
you have that much.
957
00:39:50,004 --> 00:39:51,956
Why do you think
things like this happen?
958
00:39:54,344 --> 00:39:55,778
I think it's a reminder.
959
00:39:58,406 --> 00:40:00,157
To always live each day
to the fullest,
960
00:40:00,158 --> 00:40:03,062
but also I think it's a way
961
00:40:03,063 --> 00:40:05,571
for him to show us...
962
00:40:05,572 --> 00:40:08,120
How he restores and heals us.
963
00:40:09,833 --> 00:40:11,226
And all we have to do is pray.
964
00:40:18,393 --> 00:40:20,104
Great photos, guys.
965
00:40:20,105 --> 00:40:21,578
I really love seeing
what you did here.
966
00:40:24,206 --> 00:40:25,401
I think I'm ready to share.
967
00:40:29,263 --> 00:40:30,178
Okay.
968
00:40:31,253 --> 00:40:32,327
Um...
969
00:40:32,328 --> 00:40:35,433
My husband, Greg, and I
met six years ago
970
00:40:35,434 --> 00:40:36,787
in art class.
971
00:40:38,142 --> 00:40:41,009
My parents said that we were
a "match made in heaven".
972
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,192
So, we got married,
973
00:40:44,193 --> 00:40:46,542
and I felt like
974
00:40:46,543 --> 00:40:48,732
god gave me everything
I could have ever wanted.
975
00:40:49,767 --> 00:40:51,082
Yeah.
976
00:40:52,355 --> 00:40:54,068
Until I lost it all.
977
00:40:58,049 --> 00:40:59,841
Greg had a brain tumor.
978
00:41:02,947 --> 00:41:03,942
The doctors tried,
979
00:41:03,943 --> 00:41:05,535
but...
980
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:09,715
I miss him every day.
981
00:41:14,135 --> 00:41:15,130
You know, Traci,
982
00:41:15,131 --> 00:41:17,000
that takes...
983
00:41:17,001 --> 00:41:18,793
A lot of courage
to open up like that.
984
00:41:20,067 --> 00:41:21,939
I hope you believe me
when I say this...
985
00:41:23,372 --> 00:41:24,527
...that's what healing
looks like.
986
00:41:27,234 --> 00:41:28,587
Can we pray for you?
987
00:41:28,588 --> 00:41:29,663
Yeah.
988
00:41:32,529 --> 00:41:33,406
Yeah.
989
00:41:39,457 --> 00:41:40,612
Heavenly father,
I want to thank you...
990
00:41:42,364 --> 00:41:43,558
...for a wonderful day.
991
00:41:45,271 --> 00:41:46,424
But also for a day
992
00:41:46,425 --> 00:41:47,539
where you showed us
993
00:41:47,540 --> 00:41:48,773
that,
994
00:41:48,774 --> 00:41:50,605
even within our grief,
995
00:41:50,606 --> 00:41:52,517
we can find joy.
996
00:41:55,224 --> 00:41:56,816
As we leave this place today,
997
00:41:56,817 --> 00:41:58,330
bless us...
998
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,033
...and comfort us.
999
00:42:07,129 --> 00:42:08,085
I don't think
I can do this.
1000
00:42:08,086 --> 00:42:09,876
Just be yourself!
1001
00:42:09,877 --> 00:42:11,945
You really want me to do that?
1002
00:42:11,946 --> 00:42:13,060
I haven't finished my art,
1003
00:42:13,061 --> 00:42:14,017
I don't have a theme,
1004
00:42:14,018 --> 00:42:15,171
and I clam up
1005
00:42:15,172 --> 00:42:16,565
when talking in front of people.
1006
00:42:16,566 --> 00:42:18,317
Your art will be finished,
1007
00:42:18,318 --> 00:42:20,705
you can tease them
with the element of surprise,
1008
00:42:20,706 --> 00:42:23,572
and, most importantly,
you're here.
1009
00:42:23,573 --> 00:42:24,926
Okay? You'll be fine.
1010
00:42:27,116 --> 00:42:28,230
Ladies and gentlemen,
1011
00:42:28,231 --> 00:42:29,863
may I have
your attention, please?
1012
00:42:29,864 --> 00:42:31,256
Thank you for coming
1013
00:42:31,257 --> 00:42:33,765
to the pre-gallery
artist meet and greet!
1014
00:42:33,766 --> 00:42:38,385
Let's start with
our very own Traci Fremont!
1015
00:42:45,591 --> 00:42:46,785
Hey, everyone.
1016
00:42:48,298 --> 00:42:50,050
Um, it's good to see you again.
1017
00:42:52,957 --> 00:42:54,669
You may have noticed
I'm here solo.
1018
00:42:56,581 --> 00:43:00,362
Two years ago,
I lost my husband, Greg.
1019
00:43:00,363 --> 00:43:01,994
Now he would, you know,
1020
00:43:01,995 --> 00:43:05,816
probably warm you all up
with a really great joke.
1021
00:43:05,817 --> 00:43:07,808
I don't have one of those
in my pocket.
1022
00:43:13,979 --> 00:43:14,975
To be honest,
1023
00:43:14,976 --> 00:43:16,289
it has just been
it's hard.
1024
00:43:17,563 --> 00:43:18,559
It's been really hard.
1025
00:43:20,350 --> 00:43:22,977
When you feel like
half of you is missing,
1026
00:43:22,978 --> 00:43:24,530
how do you move forward?
1027
00:43:24,531 --> 00:43:25,406
You know?
1028
00:43:29,149 --> 00:43:31,657
So...
1029
00:43:31,658 --> 00:43:34,603
You are going to see
a new version
1030
00:43:34,604 --> 00:43:36,396
of the Fremont series this year.
1031
00:43:38,626 --> 00:43:39,541
One of...
1032
00:43:39,542 --> 00:43:41,214
Resilience...
1033
00:43:43,244 --> 00:43:44,200
...and healing.
1034
00:43:46,469 --> 00:43:47,662
And it's probably
going to be messy,
1035
00:43:47,663 --> 00:43:49,137
because that's life...
1036
00:43:51,207 --> 00:43:52,241
...but I really do believe
1037
00:43:52,242 --> 00:43:54,950
that that's where
true beauty is found.
1038
00:43:57,259 --> 00:43:59,408
So I hope you come
and check out my exhibit.
1039
00:43:59,409 --> 00:44:00,364
Thank you.
1040
00:44:07,491 --> 00:44:08,845
What. Was. That.
1041
00:44:10,318 --> 00:44:11,472
I don't know what came over me,
it just kinda spilled out.
1042
00:44:11,473 --> 00:44:13,145
And it was amazing!
1043
00:44:13,146 --> 00:44:14,777
- Really?
- Yes!
1044
00:44:14,778 --> 00:44:15,852
The perfect way
1045
00:44:15,853 --> 00:44:17,006
to channel your feelings
into your work!
1046
00:44:17,007 --> 00:44:18,042
You hit a home run.
1047
00:44:18,043 --> 00:44:19,316
I almost ran out of here.
1048
00:44:19,317 --> 00:44:21,267
You managed
to pull it together.
1049
00:44:21,268 --> 00:44:24,174
It was a Christmas miracle, perhaps?
1050
00:44:25,051 --> 00:44:26,164
Whatever it was, it worked.
1051
00:44:26,165 --> 00:44:27,557
It was the support group,
wasn't it?
1052
00:44:27,558 --> 00:44:29,270
I knew it!
I'm always right!
1053
00:44:29,271 --> 00:44:30,862
Calm down.
1054
00:44:30,863 --> 00:44:32,733
You're giving yourself just
a little bit too much credit.
1055
00:44:32,734 --> 00:44:34,485
Oh, I don't know.
1056
00:44:34,486 --> 00:44:36,199
I think someone
is looking out for you.
1057
00:45:16,452 --> 00:45:17,448
Hi, sweetie.
1058
00:45:17,449 --> 00:45:18,999
- Hi!
- Hi!
1059
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,114
Wow!
1060
00:45:20,115 --> 00:45:21,308
Who did you hire
1061
00:45:21,309 --> 00:45:23,100
to make this place
all sparkly and shiny?
1062
00:45:23,101 --> 00:45:25,130
Well, I did it all by myself.
1063
00:45:25,131 --> 00:45:27,242
With the help of
five to six cups of coffee.
1064
00:45:28,676 --> 00:45:29,989
Well, we brought you
some sweets
1065
00:45:29,990 --> 00:45:31,263
to fuel your work.
1066
00:45:31,264 --> 00:45:32,338
Oh!
1067
00:45:32,339 --> 00:45:33,373
Just keep them away
from your father.
1068
00:45:33,374 --> 00:45:34,448
Mm-hmm.
1069
00:45:34,449 --> 00:45:36,359
Hey, I had a carrot yesterday!
1070
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,071
And it wasn't even in a cake.
1071
00:45:38,072 --> 00:45:39,067
Oh.
1072
00:45:39,068 --> 00:45:40,182
Well, I'm very proud of you.
1073
00:45:43,208 --> 00:45:45,039
Huh.
1074
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,035
Something tells me
1075
00:45:46,035 --> 00:45:47,030
that you guys
didn't just stop by
1076
00:45:47,031 --> 00:45:48,584
to give me some sweets.
1077
00:45:50,255 --> 00:45:51,648
We heard about
your support group.
1078
00:45:51,649 --> 00:45:53,083
Ah, Joyce.
1079
00:45:53,998 --> 00:45:55,191
We think it's wonderful
1080
00:45:55,192 --> 00:45:56,188
that you're getting yourself
back out there,
1081
00:45:56,189 --> 00:45:57,939
and we want to hear
all about it!
1082
00:45:57,940 --> 00:45:59,930
Who's this
Michael fella anyway?
1083
00:45:59,931 --> 00:46:01,284
Okay, dad.
1084
00:46:01,285 --> 00:46:02,200
He's just a friend.
1085
00:46:02,201 --> 00:46:03,554
Friends are good.
1086
00:46:04,788 --> 00:46:05,624
Yes...
1087
00:46:05,625 --> 00:46:07,376
Friends have been really good.
1088
00:46:11,995 --> 00:46:13,467
- Hey!
- Hey!
1089
00:46:13,468 --> 00:46:14,502
This was on your door.
1090
00:46:14,503 --> 00:46:15,538
Thank you!
1091
00:46:16,494 --> 00:46:17,928
So much.
1092
00:46:20,516 --> 00:46:21,988
Well, this is interesting.
1093
00:46:21,989 --> 00:46:23,103
What?
1094
00:46:23,104 --> 00:46:24,218
A text from Michael.
1095
00:46:24,219 --> 00:46:25,292
He says,
"meet me in front of the church
1096
00:46:25,293 --> 00:46:26,289
tomorrow at 5:00 A.M.
1097
00:46:26,290 --> 00:46:27,522
And dress warm!"
1098
00:46:27,523 --> 00:46:28,636
Thank you.
1099
00:46:28,637 --> 00:46:30,110
Winky face.
1100
00:46:30,111 --> 00:46:31,305
Winky face, huh?
1101
00:46:31,306 --> 00:46:32,499
Yeah...
1102
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:33,495
It's to the whole group.
1103
00:46:35,247 --> 00:46:36,719
Well, I wonder
what he has planned.
1104
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:37,636
It better be good.
1105
00:46:37,637 --> 00:46:38,751
5:00 A.M.?
1106
00:46:41,219 --> 00:46:43,010
What's his story anyway?
1107
00:46:43,011 --> 00:46:43,967
I don't know.
1108
00:46:43,967 --> 00:46:44,962
He hasn't told me it,
1109
00:46:44,963 --> 00:46:46,595
but I'm sure he will
when he's ready.
1110
00:46:48,864 --> 00:46:50,655
Good morning, everyone!
1111
00:46:50,656 --> 00:46:52,645
Who's ready for
a winter wonderland adventure?
1112
00:46:52,646 --> 00:46:53,840
I'm ready for a nap.
1113
00:46:53,841 --> 00:46:54,994
I second that.
1114
00:46:54,995 --> 00:46:56,707
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
1115
00:46:56,708 --> 00:46:57,862
- Here you go.
- Lifesaver.
1116
00:46:58,818 --> 00:47:00,051
Let me guess,
you're not a morning person?
1117
00:47:00,052 --> 00:47:01,405
I'm about to be.
1118
00:47:01,406 --> 00:47:03,635
All right, I am
your tour guide this morning
1119
00:47:03,636 --> 00:47:05,865
as we head
to a very special location.
1120
00:47:05,866 --> 00:47:07,059
Thank you.
1121
00:47:07,060 --> 00:47:08,414
All aboard!
1122
00:47:10,205 --> 00:47:11,677
- You're in?
- Yeah.
1123
00:47:11,678 --> 00:47:12,833
Groovy.
1124
00:47:21,632 --> 00:47:23,263
I know it's early
and it's dark outside, guys,
1125
00:47:23,264 --> 00:47:24,419
but trust me,
1126
00:47:24,420 --> 00:47:25,493
if you look
outside the window,
1127
00:47:25,494 --> 00:47:27,167
you'll see this gorgeous
1128
00:47:34,533 --> 00:47:35,607
Okay.
1129
00:47:35,608 --> 00:47:37,041
Night-night, guys.
1130
00:47:38,315 --> 00:47:39,430
How about you?
You still awake?
1131
00:47:43,093 --> 00:47:44,008
You all right?
1132
00:47:44,009 --> 00:47:46,118
Yeah... yeah.
1133
00:47:46,119 --> 00:47:47,512
Just thinking.
1134
00:47:47,513 --> 00:47:49,581
Well, I'll tell you what...
1135
00:47:49,582 --> 00:47:52,449
I bet I can make you laugh
by the end of this trip.
1136
00:47:56,949 --> 00:47:57,825
What are the stakes?
1137
00:47:57,826 --> 00:47:59,416
Ooh.
1138
00:47:59,417 --> 00:48:00,452
Okay.
1139
00:48:00,453 --> 00:48:01,646
You drive
a hard bargain there, Traci.
1140
00:48:01,647 --> 00:48:02,959
The stakes are...
1141
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,149
The loser buys the winner
1142
00:48:05,150 --> 00:48:07,260
a dozen sweet treats
of their choice
1143
00:48:07,261 --> 00:48:08,216
from Nai Nai's bakery.
1144
00:48:08,217 --> 00:48:10,206
What do you think?
1145
00:48:10,207 --> 00:48:11,601
Deal.
1146
00:48:12,358 --> 00:48:13,671
You're on.
1147
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,194
Well, we're almost there,
you guys.
1148
00:48:30,195 --> 00:48:31,587
Hey, listen,
1149
00:48:31,588 --> 00:48:32,942
I want to discuss
this week's theme.
1150
00:48:34,057 --> 00:48:35,648
"Finding peace".
1151
00:48:35,649 --> 00:48:37,082
What better way
to experience that
1152
00:48:37,083 --> 00:48:38,197
than in nature, right?
1153
00:48:38,994 --> 00:48:40,068
What's our task?
1154
00:48:40,069 --> 00:48:41,382
You don't have a task, Ethel.
1155
00:48:41,383 --> 00:48:42,457
As a matter of fact,
none of you do.
1156
00:48:42,458 --> 00:48:43,413
All I want you to do...
1157
00:48:43,414 --> 00:48:45,562
Stay in the moment.
1158
00:48:45,563 --> 00:48:46,956
If you have a memory or thought,
1159
00:48:46,957 --> 00:48:48,668
let it be there,
make room for it.
1160
00:48:48,669 --> 00:48:49,784
That's it.
1161
00:49:00,175 --> 00:49:01,489
Okay.
1162
00:49:01,490 --> 00:49:03,082
Yeah, now I see
why you got us up here so early.
1163
00:49:04,357 --> 00:49:05,511
Right?
1164
00:49:07,064 --> 00:49:08,497
This is where
I feel closest to god.
1165
00:49:10,050 --> 00:49:10,846
Right here.
1166
00:49:10,847 --> 00:49:12,836
The stillness, the quiet...
1167
00:49:12,837 --> 00:49:14,629
The closer proximity to heaven.
1168
00:49:16,540 --> 00:49:17,574
It's a place you can look out
1169
00:49:17,575 --> 00:49:19,008
and see something
bigger than yourself.
1170
00:49:43,256 --> 00:49:45,406
Can I tell you about my mom?
1171
00:49:50,144 --> 00:49:51,897
She was
the lead singer at church.
1172
00:49:53,847 --> 00:49:55,559
Had the most soulful voice
you've ever heard.
1173
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,230
And it wasn't just
her voice that was powerful...
1174
00:50:07,663 --> 00:50:10,092
...it was her spirit.
1175
00:50:44,851 --> 00:50:46,484
Music was everything to us.
1176
00:50:49,270 --> 00:50:51,579
I lost her
only a couple of months ago.
1177
00:50:54,367 --> 00:50:55,362
My mother,
1178
00:50:55,362 --> 00:50:56,278
my singing partner...
1179
00:50:57,910 --> 00:50:59,422
...and...
1180
00:50:59,423 --> 00:51:02,050
When I lost her,
1181
00:51:02,051 --> 00:51:03,483
I...
1182
00:51:03,484 --> 00:51:04,878
Also lost my voice.
1183
00:51:08,541 --> 00:51:09,298
But now, it's...
1184
00:51:09,299 --> 00:51:11,408
It's like she's here.
1185
00:51:14,753 --> 00:51:15,987
I love you.
1186
00:51:23,153 --> 00:51:24,507
That was beautiful.
1187
00:51:26,577 --> 00:51:27,533
Regina...
1188
00:51:28,608 --> 00:51:29,682
...you okay?
1189
00:51:29,683 --> 00:51:30,638
Yeah, I'm okay.
1190
00:51:32,590 --> 00:51:33,585
Um...
1191
00:51:33,586 --> 00:51:35,058
I think I'm ready
to go back down now.
1192
00:51:35,974 --> 00:51:37,845
- Thank you for sharing.
- Yeah, thanks.
1193
00:51:37,846 --> 00:51:39,119
I'm proud of you.
1194
00:51:50,626 --> 00:51:51,701
Wow.
1195
00:51:52,935 --> 00:51:54,049
She's come so far.
1196
00:51:54,050 --> 00:51:55,604
You helped make that happen.
1197
00:51:58,311 --> 00:51:59,385
Speaking of help...
1198
00:51:59,386 --> 00:52:00,579
You okay?
1199
00:52:00,580 --> 00:52:02,888
No, my back
getting old here.
1200
00:52:02,889 --> 00:52:04,242
Think you could carry me
down to the
1201
00:52:04,243 --> 00:52:05,159
I got you!
1202
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,432
- No!
- No, no!
1203
00:52:06,433 --> 00:52:07,626
I got you.
You owe me.
1204
00:52:07,627 --> 00:52:08,782
- That does not count.
- Of course, it counts.
1205
00:52:09,897 --> 00:52:11,130
Made you laugh.
Like I told you I would.
1206
00:52:11,131 --> 00:52:12,404
Tricky.
1207
00:52:12,405 --> 00:52:14,594
Fine!
1208
00:52:14,595 --> 00:52:15,868
Oh!
1209
00:52:15,869 --> 00:52:17,023
And trust me,
1210
00:52:17,024 --> 00:52:17,780
I'm not going to have you
get me any treats,
1211
00:52:17,780 --> 00:52:18,736
or anything like that.
1212
00:52:18,737 --> 00:52:20,129
Instead, I...
1213
00:52:20,130 --> 00:52:21,482
Instead...
1214
00:52:21,483 --> 00:52:23,075
You know, I didn't know
if you might want to...
1215
00:52:23,076 --> 00:52:24,669
Might want to be my partner
at the...
1216
00:52:25,863 --> 00:52:27,217
...gift-wrapping contest.
1217
00:52:30,243 --> 00:52:31,358
Like, a date?
1218
00:52:33,110 --> 00:52:34,264
Uh...
1219
00:52:35,339 --> 00:52:36,453
...yeah, I mean,
I don't know
1220
00:52:36,454 --> 00:52:38,166
well, yeah,
I could call it a date, or...
1221
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:40,914
...or not, or...
1222
00:52:41,988 --> 00:52:42,944
Can I think about it?
1223
00:52:42,945 --> 00:52:44,616
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1224
00:52:44,617 --> 00:52:45,770
Okay, I'm gonna just...
1225
00:52:45,771 --> 00:52:47,005
- Catch up.
- Okay.
1226
00:53:00,821 --> 00:53:01,777
Everything okay, honey?
1227
00:53:01,778 --> 00:53:03,847
Yeah, yeah. Why?
1228
00:53:05,121 --> 00:53:08,385
Well, you've been twirling
that same piece of spaghetti
1229
00:53:08,386 --> 00:53:10,058
for 10 minutes.
1230
00:53:15,474 --> 00:53:16,468
Michael asked me on a date.
1231
00:53:16,469 --> 00:53:17,703
I mean, I think it was a date.
1232
00:53:19,136 --> 00:53:20,768
I don't know...
1233
00:53:20,769 --> 00:53:21,843
That's great!
1234
00:53:21,844 --> 00:53:23,395
Great?
1235
00:53:23,396 --> 00:53:24,113
From what we've heard,
1236
00:53:24,114 --> 00:53:25,984
he's an upstanding man.
1237
00:53:25,985 --> 00:53:27,377
He is.
1238
00:53:27,378 --> 00:53:28,812
He's a really nice guy.
1239
00:53:29,966 --> 00:53:32,473
But...
1240
00:53:32,474 --> 00:53:33,709
What about Greg?
1241
00:53:35,222 --> 00:53:37,211
So, what, am I just
supposed to forget him
1242
00:53:37,212 --> 00:53:38,487
and move on?
1243
00:53:41,075 --> 00:53:42,427
I don't think I can do that.
1244
00:53:42,428 --> 00:53:45,295
No one's asking you
to forget about Greg.
1245
00:53:47,325 --> 00:53:48,360
But he...
1246
00:53:48,361 --> 00:53:49,197
He would want you to be happy,
1247
00:53:49,198 --> 00:53:50,868
no matter what.
1248
00:53:50,869 --> 00:53:51,825
Yes.
1249
00:53:52,899 --> 00:53:54,252
I know that you are afraid
1250
00:53:54,253 --> 00:53:56,762
to open your heart again.
1251
00:53:58,275 --> 00:54:00,623
But if there's
a little part of you
1252
00:54:00,624 --> 00:54:03,252
that thinks maybe
it's time to try...
1253
00:54:05,004 --> 00:54:06,198
...maybe that's
what you should do.
1254
00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:11,333
One small step...
1255
00:54:11,334 --> 00:54:13,563
Or a date...
1256
00:54:13,564 --> 00:54:14,679
At a time.
1257
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,353
You still need a partner?
1258
00:54:50,354 --> 00:54:51,507
Oh, hey.
1259
00:54:51,508 --> 00:54:52,862
Yeah, I would...
I would love one.
1260
00:54:54,853 --> 00:54:56,963
So, what was your plan
if I didn't show?
1261
00:54:57,959 --> 00:54:58,675
My plan was,
1262
00:54:58,676 --> 00:55:00,067
I was gonna use each hand
1263
00:55:00,068 --> 00:55:02,377
to wrap each one of
these presents separately,
1264
00:55:02,378 --> 00:55:03,691
and then I thought,
you know, that's not good
1265
00:55:03,692 --> 00:55:04,766
but anyway,
I thought it might work,
1266
00:55:04,767 --> 00:55:05,881
but obviously, it's not.
1267
00:55:05,882 --> 00:55:07,194
Now, listen, I knew
you were gonna come.
1268
00:55:07,195 --> 00:55:08,589
I knew you'd show up.
It's nice to see you laugh.
1269
00:55:10,620 --> 00:55:12,052
- So we're wrapping this?
- Yes.
1270
00:55:12,053 --> 00:55:14,043
How does one wrap a bicycle
without it looking ridiculous?
1271
00:55:14,044 --> 00:55:15,356
Well, you know,
it's an art form.
1272
00:55:15,357 --> 00:55:17,786
Don't worry. You'll catch on.
Just follow my lead.
1273
00:55:17,787 --> 00:55:19,457
All right wrappers,
are you ready?
1274
00:55:19,458 --> 00:55:21,289
- Yes!
- Yes!
1275
00:55:21,290 --> 00:55:23,997
Time is important,
but aesthetic is key.
1276
00:55:23,998 --> 00:55:26,386
These gifts will be donated
to the homeless shelter,
1277
00:55:26,387 --> 00:55:28,775
but our winners
will not go away empty-handed,
1278
00:55:28,776 --> 00:55:30,726
because you're playing for...
1279
00:55:30,727 --> 00:55:32,597
An all-expense-paid ski trip
1280
00:55:32,598 --> 00:55:33,911
to Murray's lodge!
1281
00:55:33,912 --> 00:55:35,185
- Whoa!
- What?
1282
00:55:35,186 --> 00:55:36,141
Nice, huh?
1283
00:55:37,614 --> 00:55:38,610
Don't worry, when we win,
we'll go as friends.
1284
00:55:38,611 --> 00:55:39,725
When we win?
1285
00:55:40,601 --> 00:55:42,153
- Really?
- I like your confidence.
1286
00:55:42,154 --> 00:55:43,109
Well...
1287
00:55:43,109 --> 00:55:44,105
On your Mark...
1288
00:55:44,106 --> 00:55:45,179
- Ready?
- All right.
1289
00:55:45,180 --> 00:55:47,249
...get set,
1290
00:55:47,250 --> 00:55:48,485
wrap!
1291
00:56:21,770 --> 00:56:24,756
And for the news
we've all been waiting for...
1292
00:56:25,592 --> 00:56:27,185
...the winners are...
1293
00:56:28,937 --> 00:56:30,728
...Michael and Traci!
1294
00:56:42,714 --> 00:56:44,424
I felt so bad
for Richard and Maria.
1295
00:56:44,425 --> 00:56:45,818
Why?
1296
00:56:45,819 --> 00:56:47,212
Well, because they were
much faster than us, come on.
1297
00:56:47,213 --> 00:56:48,565
Don't feel bad for those two.
1298
00:56:48,566 --> 00:56:50,794
Come on, they've won it
the last 30 years in a row.
1299
00:56:50,795 --> 00:56:52,029
- What?
- Yeah. Yeah.
1300
00:56:52,030 --> 00:56:53,303
Not to mention, I think...
1301
00:56:53,304 --> 00:56:54,738
They're a little too proud,
by the way.
1302
00:56:59,078 --> 00:57:00,112
Thanks for coming
by the way.
1303
00:57:00,989 --> 00:57:01,944
I probably should be working,
1304
00:57:01,945 --> 00:57:04,253
but I’m...
I'm really glad I came.
1305
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:05,487
It was fun.
1306
00:57:05,488 --> 00:57:07,995
- Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
- Yeah!
1307
00:57:07,996 --> 00:57:08,872
What do you say
1308
00:57:08,873 --> 00:57:10,743
we procrastinate
a little longer?
1309
00:57:12,058 --> 00:57:13,450
I'd say I'd love that.
1310
00:57:18,070 --> 00:57:19,981
It's a different kind
of beautiful at night, huh?
1311
00:57:26,032 --> 00:57:28,421
Melody loved
coming down here...
1312
00:57:28,422 --> 00:57:29,495
At night
1313
00:57:29,496 --> 00:57:30,969
and looking up at the stars.
1314
00:57:35,986 --> 00:57:37,181
Can I tell you about her?
1315
00:57:38,694 --> 00:57:39,570
Are you kidding?
1316
00:57:41,321 --> 00:57:43,192
I've been waiting weeks
for this moment.
1317
00:57:43,193 --> 00:57:44,826
Please.
1318
00:57:57,806 --> 00:57:58,761
Over pack for the hike?
1319
00:57:59,756 --> 00:58:01,627
Uh, yeah, yeah.
1320
00:58:01,628 --> 00:58:02,941
Yeah, that would
that would be an understatement,
1321
00:58:02,942 --> 00:58:04,334
wouldn't it?
1322
00:58:04,335 --> 00:58:05,728
I've seen a lot of first-timers
make the same mistake.
1323
00:58:05,729 --> 00:58:06,882
Well, the funny thing is,
I think I brought everything,
1324
00:58:06,883 --> 00:58:08,197
I just think I forgot...
1325
00:58:09,511 --> 00:58:10,347
Water?
1326
00:58:10,347 --> 00:58:11,342
Yeah.
1327
00:58:11,342 --> 00:58:12,298
I have an extra one.
1328
00:58:12,299 --> 00:58:13,452
- Really?
- Yeah.
1329
00:58:13,453 --> 00:58:14,567
- Thank you so much.
- Take it.
1330
00:58:14,568 --> 00:58:16,478
Really? Thank you.
1331
00:58:16,479 --> 00:58:17,793
I think you just saved my life.
1332
00:58:21,137 --> 00:58:22,411
So, do you...
1333
00:58:24,004 --> 00:58:25,555
...you come here often?
1334
00:58:25,556 --> 00:58:26,630
I do.
1335
00:58:26,631 --> 00:58:27,945
It's my happy place.
1336
00:58:27,946 --> 00:58:30,932
I like to pray
as I look over the view.
1337
00:58:32,803 --> 00:58:34,117
Well, it definitely
is a stunning view, isn't it?
1338
00:58:35,112 --> 00:58:36,068
It is.
1339
00:58:37,263 --> 00:58:38,416
Listen...
1340
00:58:38,417 --> 00:58:39,293
I'm Michael, by the way.
1341
00:58:39,294 --> 00:58:40,367
Oh, I'm melody.
1342
00:58:40,368 --> 00:58:41,403
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
1343
00:58:42,518 --> 00:58:44,109
So what do you...
What do you pray about?
1344
00:58:44,110 --> 00:58:45,583
- Today?
- Yeah.
1345
00:58:45,584 --> 00:58:46,460
The kids at the youth center.
1346
00:58:46,461 --> 00:58:47,932
Oh.
1347
00:58:47,933 --> 00:58:50,123
Every year, I deliver gifts
to make their spirits bright.
1348
00:58:52,074 --> 00:58:54,064
That's
oh, no, you're Santa Claus!
1349
00:58:54,065 --> 00:58:55,178
You are!
1350
00:58:55,179 --> 00:58:56,175
You know, I've been wanting
to meet you
1351
00:58:56,176 --> 00:58:57,210
ever since I was a kid.
1352
00:58:57,211 --> 00:58:58,166
I've got to get your autograph?
1353
00:58:58,166 --> 00:58:59,042
Do you have a
do I have a pen?
1354
00:58:59,043 --> 00:59:00,235
I've packed everything else.
1355
00:59:00,236 --> 00:59:02,186
You know, the season's
all about giving back.
1356
00:59:02,187 --> 00:59:03,620
Plus, giving is
my "love language".
1357
00:59:03,621 --> 00:59:05,013
Hmm.
1358
00:59:05,014 --> 00:59:06,725
I like that.
1359
00:59:06,726 --> 00:59:07,722
I think mine's pizza.
1360
00:59:09,274 --> 00:59:10,428
Funny guy.
1361
00:59:10,429 --> 00:59:11,504
I try.
1362
00:59:12,698 --> 00:59:14,132
No, seriously,
that's very admirable of you.
1363
00:59:15,207 --> 00:59:16,281
Thank you.
1364
00:59:16,282 --> 00:59:17,238
I've been blessed with a lot,
1365
00:59:17,239 --> 00:59:18,311
so...
1366
00:59:18,312 --> 00:59:19,546
I make it a habit
of blessing others.
1367
00:59:19,547 --> 00:59:22,533
Well, you certainly blessed me.
1368
00:59:25,161 --> 00:59:27,230
You know what, I'm glad we met.
1369
00:59:27,231 --> 00:59:28,664
Call this a happy coincidence.
1370
00:59:29,978 --> 00:59:31,212
I don't believe
in coincidences.
1371
00:59:33,123 --> 00:59:34,079
Okay... okay.
1372
00:59:36,668 --> 00:59:38,020
You know, after the accident,
1373
00:59:38,021 --> 00:59:41,205
they...
1374
00:59:41,206 --> 00:59:43,156
They found this ornament
in her car.
1375
00:59:43,157 --> 00:59:45,546
It was a gazebo, just like this.
1376
00:59:46,501 --> 00:59:48,095
And attached to it was a note.
1377
00:59:49,448 --> 00:59:50,602
It said "to Michael.
1378
00:59:51,917 --> 00:59:53,549
Merry Christmas."
1379
00:59:56,257 --> 00:59:57,810
I tell you, Traci...
1380
00:59:59,044 --> 01:00:01,512
If she didn't go
and buy that gazebo for me,
1381
01:00:01,513 --> 01:00:03,183
I swear
she'd still be here today.
1382
01:00:03,184 --> 01:00:04,338
Michael, you can't
think like that.
1383
01:00:04,339 --> 01:00:06,130
No. I do think like that.
1384
01:00:06,131 --> 01:00:07,285
Every single day.
1385
01:00:10,829 --> 01:00:11,984
It's like I can't let it go.
1386
01:00:16,244 --> 01:00:17,239
Look at me...
1387
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,354
How sad is this?
1388
01:00:19,867 --> 01:00:20,823
Here I am,
1389
01:00:20,824 --> 01:00:22,774
a leader of
a grief-support group.
1390
01:00:26,954 --> 01:00:28,984
It's better than...
1391
01:00:28,985 --> 01:00:30,299
Acting like everything's okay.
1392
01:00:34,041 --> 01:00:35,355
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1393
01:00:35,356 --> 01:00:36,351
Oh...
1394
01:00:36,352 --> 01:00:37,424
Not to make matters worse,
1395
01:00:37,425 --> 01:00:39,256
but when I opened the box...
1396
01:00:39,257 --> 01:00:41,089
The ornament was broken.
1397
01:00:44,235 --> 01:00:45,548
Maybe I can fix it.
1398
01:00:50,605 --> 01:00:51,720
If you want.
1399
01:00:58,209 --> 01:00:59,602
Wow.
1400
01:00:59,603 --> 01:01:01,276
I can tell you really know
your way around a canvas, huh?
1401
01:01:02,430 --> 01:01:04,580
I am... impressed.
1402
01:01:06,292 --> 01:01:08,242
That's the...
1403
01:01:08,243 --> 01:01:09,796
That's the last painting
we did together.
1404
01:01:11,587 --> 01:01:13,618
It's what we think
heaven looks like.
1405
01:01:15,092 --> 01:01:17,519
And it's immune to criticism,
1406
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:18,793
because...
1407
01:01:18,794 --> 01:01:20,148
It's up to interpretation, right?
1408
01:01:21,581 --> 01:01:23,054
Right.
1409
01:01:24,249 --> 01:01:25,563
Wow.
1410
01:01:26,996 --> 01:01:28,072
This is beautiful, huh?
1411
01:01:29,743 --> 01:01:30,660
May I?
1412
01:01:31,854 --> 01:01:32,729
Yeah.
1413
01:01:49,253 --> 01:01:50,367
You're not so bad.
1414
01:01:50,368 --> 01:01:51,920
Well, well.
1415
01:01:51,921 --> 01:01:53,315
Greg was always the...
1416
01:01:54,947 --> 01:01:56,340
Anyway...
1417
01:01:57,495 --> 01:01:58,610
...here you go.
1418
01:01:59,685 --> 01:02:00,799
It still has some tiny cracks,
1419
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,351
but I think
it's part of the charm.
1420
01:02:02,352 --> 01:02:04,860
You know, it shows that...
1421
01:02:04,861 --> 01:02:05,856
Things that are broken
1422
01:02:05,857 --> 01:02:08,125
can be made, you know,
1423
01:02:08,126 --> 01:02:09,559
somewhat whole again.
1424
01:02:11,271 --> 01:02:12,744
It's perfect.
1425
01:02:15,970 --> 01:02:17,044
Thank you.
1426
01:02:17,045 --> 01:02:18,358
Of course.
1427
01:02:21,782 --> 01:02:23,335
So you never learned
how to play?
1428
01:02:24,410 --> 01:02:25,366
No...
1429
01:02:27,038 --> 01:02:28,391
Okay, one song.
1430
01:02:28,392 --> 01:02:29,706
- Okay.
- Just one.
1431
01:02:30,621 --> 01:02:32,373
- All right.
- All right.
1432
01:02:32,374 --> 01:02:34,484
I'll give it a shot.
1433
01:02:49,574 --> 01:02:50,569
That's great!
1434
01:02:50,570 --> 01:02:51,803
- That's right.
- That's good!
1435
01:02:53,476 --> 01:02:54,750
That's really good.
We make a great team.
1436
01:02:55,745 --> 01:02:56,661
That's true.
1437
01:03:01,916 --> 01:03:03,309
Um...
1438
01:03:03,310 --> 01:03:05,340
I...
1439
01:03:05,341 --> 01:03:07,091
I think I should go.
1440
01:03:07,092 --> 01:03:08,445
- It's getting late.
- It is getting late, yeah.
1441
01:03:08,446 --> 01:03:09,880
But...
1442
01:03:11,512 --> 01:03:14,099
...thank you...
1443
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:15,096
For this.
1444
01:03:20,908 --> 01:03:22,580
Goodnight, Traci.
Thank you.
1445
01:03:22,581 --> 01:03:23,577
Yeah, goodnight.
1446
01:03:31,260 --> 01:03:32,256
You know, as much as I love
1447
01:03:32,257 --> 01:03:33,728
having a newly-minted
expert wrapper
1448
01:03:33,729 --> 01:03:35,480
helping me with these,
1449
01:03:35,481 --> 01:03:36,675
shouldn't you
be getting back to work?
1450
01:03:36,676 --> 01:03:38,346
The gallery is in two days.
1451
01:03:38,347 --> 01:03:39,582
I'm merrily procrastinating.
1452
01:03:40,777 --> 01:03:42,249
And UN-merrily
1453
01:03:42,250 --> 01:03:44,121
starting to lose confidence
in myself.
1454
01:03:44,957 --> 01:03:47,146
If your goal is...
1455
01:03:47,147 --> 01:03:50,251
Trying to get people
to feel something,
1456
01:03:50,252 --> 01:03:52,084
maybe you should draw on
what you're feeling right now.
1457
01:03:53,438 --> 01:03:54,313
Well, it's
a real mixed bag, mom.
1458
01:03:58,216 --> 01:03:59,131
Honestly, my...
1459
01:04:00,206 --> 01:04:01,679
...my heart
is just so conflicted.
1460
01:04:05,860 --> 01:04:08,489
You have grown so much
since you joined that group.
1461
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:11,991
Maybe the final piece
of this puzzle
1462
01:04:11,992 --> 01:04:12,868
is...
1463
01:04:12,869 --> 01:04:14,461
Opening your heart.
1464
01:04:15,735 --> 01:04:17,805
And that doesn't mean that
you have to forget about Greg.
1465
01:04:19,437 --> 01:04:22,622
Maybe drawing on
the memories of him
1466
01:04:22,623 --> 01:04:23,538
will help you.
1467
01:04:37,474 --> 01:04:39,464
God,
1468
01:04:39,465 --> 01:04:41,057
I feel lost...
1469
01:04:44,522 --> 01:04:46,313
...and I don't know what to do.
1470
01:04:48,025 --> 01:04:50,293
I pray...
1471
01:04:50,294 --> 01:04:51,806
That I am able to help people
1472
01:04:51,807 --> 01:04:54,116
feel something special
for Christmas.
1473
01:04:57,063 --> 01:04:58,258
Amen.
1474
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:20,674
All right, I've got you.
1475
01:05:21,789 --> 01:05:24,495
Well, being home sure beats
that hospital room any day.
1476
01:05:24,496 --> 01:05:26,566
The doctor
is one phone call away,
1477
01:05:26,567 --> 01:05:28,716
I will be with you 24/7,
1478
01:05:28,717 --> 01:05:30,148
and...
1479
01:05:30,149 --> 01:05:31,862
Your only job is to rest, okay?
1480
01:05:37,675 --> 01:05:38,869
Dance with me.
1481
01:05:38,870 --> 01:05:41,138
Did you not just hear
what I told you?
1482
01:05:41,139 --> 01:05:42,254
Come on.
1483
01:05:45,717 --> 01:05:46,831
After all,
1484
01:05:46,832 --> 01:05:48,146
we never know
how much time we have left,
1485
01:05:48,147 --> 01:05:50,735
so we have to live each moment
like it's our last.
1486
01:05:52,168 --> 01:05:54,398
We are going to have
so many of these moments.
1487
01:05:55,791 --> 01:05:57,184
Decades more.
1488
01:06:01,883 --> 01:06:03,396
Traci, I need you
to promise me something.
1489
01:06:04,790 --> 01:06:05,784
Anything.
1490
01:06:07,218 --> 01:06:09,328
Never stop laughing,
1491
01:06:09,329 --> 01:06:10,961
and never stop loving.
1492
01:06:12,872 --> 01:06:14,265
And never stop living.
1493
01:06:15,540 --> 01:06:17,013
Okay?
1494
01:06:37,518 --> 01:06:38,673
Traci! Come in!
1495
01:06:39,708 --> 01:06:41,418
Thank you!
1496
01:06:41,419 --> 01:06:42,454
What are you doing here?
1497
01:06:42,455 --> 01:06:45,043
And what are you wearing?
1498
01:06:46,277 --> 01:06:47,430
I know I look ridiculous,
1499
01:06:47,431 --> 01:06:49,502
but they said
they also need an elf.
1500
01:06:51,374 --> 01:06:52,448
What are you talking about?
1501
01:06:52,449 --> 01:06:55,792
The Christmas market
needs a Mrs. Claus,
1502
01:06:55,793 --> 01:06:59,058
and I told them I know someone
with years of experience.
1503
01:07:02,681 --> 01:07:04,790
Maybe all you need to do
is take one step.
1504
01:07:04,791 --> 01:07:06,184
Just try it on,
1505
01:07:06,185 --> 01:07:07,658
see if it fits?
1506
01:07:11,242 --> 01:07:12,157
Okay...
1507
01:07:12,158 --> 01:07:13,511
Okay!
1508
01:07:15,860 --> 01:07:16,935
It fits like a glove.
1509
01:07:19,563 --> 01:07:22,947
You are rocking that!
1510
01:07:24,301 --> 01:07:26,292
But I don't think
I can do this on my own.
1511
01:07:27,805 --> 01:07:28,839
Well, you'll have
your trusty elf
1512
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,074
right by your side.
1513
01:07:37,161 --> 01:07:38,356
I'll be with you in just a sec.
1514
01:07:41,422 --> 01:07:42,775
Nothing's changed a bit.
1515
01:07:48,151 --> 01:07:49,543
Dad...
1516
01:07:49,544 --> 01:07:50,658
What are you doing here?
1517
01:07:50,659 --> 01:07:51,972
A friend of yours
1518
01:07:51,973 --> 01:07:54,481
left a box of Nai Nai's sweets
at my doorstep.
1519
01:07:56,432 --> 01:07:57,985
It's been so long
since I've tried them...
1520
01:07:59,418 --> 01:08:00,693
...but I'm glad I did.
1521
01:08:02,604 --> 01:08:03,440
You made them?
1522
01:08:04,833 --> 01:08:06,028
I did.
1523
01:08:07,143 --> 01:08:08,815
They taste just like hers.
1524
01:08:11,045 --> 01:08:12,398
So why'd you ask me
to meet you here?
1525
01:08:13,752 --> 01:08:15,304
I just wanted to celebrate
1526
01:08:15,305 --> 01:08:17,057
your courage
for sharing the other day.
1527
01:08:18,768 --> 01:08:19,685
How does it feel?
1528
01:08:20,919 --> 01:08:21,954
Like my soul is healing.
1529
01:08:23,786 --> 01:08:24,741
I know she's still with me.
1530
01:08:27,768 --> 01:08:28,801
You know...
1531
01:08:28,802 --> 01:08:30,395
Open mic's about to start.
1532
01:08:31,470 --> 01:08:33,818
And I just so happened...
1533
01:08:33,819 --> 01:08:35,571
To reserve the first slot.
1534
01:08:37,362 --> 01:08:39,075
You wanna give it a shot?
1535
01:08:42,220 --> 01:08:43,534
I think I can do it.
1536
01:08:49,029 --> 01:08:50,700
I came to apologize.
1537
01:08:50,701 --> 01:08:52,054
No. Whoa.
1538
01:08:52,055 --> 01:08:53,646
No, no. You don't
you don't have to do that, dad.
1539
01:08:53,647 --> 01:08:54,840
It was a hard time
for all of us,
1540
01:08:54,841 --> 01:08:55,915
and we all grieve differently.
1541
01:08:55,916 --> 01:08:58,145
I was angry,
1542
01:08:58,146 --> 01:08:59,142
and I took it out on you.
1543
01:09:00,814 --> 01:09:02,286
It wasn't fair...
1544
01:09:02,287 --> 01:09:04,954
And I'm sorry.
1545
01:09:04,955 --> 01:09:08,020
If my mother taught me
anything at all,
1546
01:09:08,021 --> 01:09:11,802
it is that there is
nothing more important in life
1547
01:09:11,803 --> 01:09:12,878
than family.
1548
01:09:16,780 --> 01:09:18,053
You have no idea
how much it means
1549
01:09:18,054 --> 01:09:19,050
to hear you say that.
1550
01:10:08,899 --> 01:10:09,854
Whoo!
1551
01:10:22,954 --> 01:10:23,869
Hey, Joyce.
1552
01:10:25,184 --> 01:10:26,297
Yeah!
1553
01:10:26,298 --> 01:10:27,650
I...
1554
01:10:27,651 --> 01:10:28,965
I think you're gonna like
what I've been working on
1555
01:10:28,966 --> 01:10:31,115
and it will be done
just in time for the gallery.
1556
01:10:31,116 --> 01:10:32,747
I just have...
1557
01:10:32,748 --> 01:10:34,182
One more thing left to do.
1558
01:10:44,055 --> 01:10:45,569
Hey.
1559
01:10:46,285 --> 01:10:47,799
Hey.
1560
01:10:51,780 --> 01:10:52,974
Happy anniversary.
1561
01:10:55,483 --> 01:10:56,279
Traci...
1562
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:57,633
What are you doing here?
1563
01:10:59,027 --> 01:11:01,056
Well, I thought it was strange
1564
01:11:01,057 --> 01:11:03,445
that you weren't returning
any of my calls.
1565
01:11:03,446 --> 01:11:04,838
Right.
1566
01:11:04,839 --> 01:11:06,232
And then I remembered...
1567
01:11:06,233 --> 01:11:08,741
That it was December 23rd.
1568
01:11:09,777 --> 01:11:10,533
Yeah.
1569
01:11:10,534 --> 01:11:12,007
The day we first met...
1570
01:11:13,838 --> 01:11:14,953
...and the day we got married.
1571
01:11:22,955 --> 01:11:24,029
I hope I'm not intruding.
1572
01:11:24,030 --> 01:11:25,463
I just wanted to make sure
you were okay.
1573
01:11:25,464 --> 01:11:26,737
No, no, no.
1574
01:11:26,738 --> 01:11:28,051
Not intruding at all.
1575
01:11:28,052 --> 01:11:29,245
- Okay.
- Thank you.
1576
01:11:29,246 --> 01:11:30,758
Yeah.
1577
01:11:30,759 --> 01:11:31,914
You know what...
1578
01:11:34,622 --> 01:11:35,498
...I'm okay.
1579
01:11:38,921 --> 01:11:40,235
Every year,
1580
01:11:40,236 --> 01:11:42,107
I bring a flower up here
to remember her.
1581
01:11:44,337 --> 01:11:45,689
Listen, Traci,
about the other night...
1582
01:11:45,690 --> 01:11:48,159
No, no, no. We do not need
to talk about that.
1583
01:11:50,149 --> 01:11:51,503
Today is about you and melody.
1584
01:11:54,887 --> 01:11:55,883
I was sitting here,
1585
01:11:55,884 --> 01:11:57,356
and I was thinking...
1586
01:11:59,148 --> 01:12:02,770
...I am so grateful
1587
01:12:02,771 --> 01:12:04,642
for all the years
that we spent together...
1588
01:12:06,713 --> 01:12:09,379
...and from now on, that's...
1589
01:12:09,380 --> 01:12:10,774
That's what I vow to hold on to.
1590
01:12:12,327 --> 01:12:13,840
It's hard.
It's really hard.
1591
01:12:16,547 --> 01:12:17,581
For some reason,
this year, I just
1592
01:12:17,582 --> 01:12:19,255
I don't know, I just feel...
1593
01:12:20,648 --> 01:12:22,201
...more at peace.
1594
01:12:23,037 --> 01:12:24,351
Sounds like healing to me.
1595
01:12:30,324 --> 01:12:31,877
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1596
01:12:54,372 --> 01:12:55,209
That's incredible.
1597
01:12:56,522 --> 01:12:57,398
That's incredible, isn't it?
1598
01:12:57,399 --> 01:12:59,149
I mean, we have made
1599
01:12:59,150 --> 01:13:01,339
a ton of progress
these past few weeks.
1600
01:13:01,340 --> 01:13:02,335
I have a feeling
you're talking about
1601
01:13:02,336 --> 01:13:03,530
more than just the tree.
1602
01:13:04,485 --> 01:13:06,078
Um, well,
your feeling's correct, I am.
1603
01:13:07,790 --> 01:13:08,985
So, what do you say
we get started?
1604
01:13:09,702 --> 01:13:10,617
Is Traci coming?
1605
01:13:10,618 --> 01:13:11,770
Actually, I don't think so.
1606
01:13:11,771 --> 01:13:13,205
I think she's really busy
with her art show.
1607
01:13:14,161 --> 01:13:15,871
- I should have canceled
- sorry I'm late!
1608
01:13:15,872 --> 01:13:16,828
- Hey!
- Hi!
1609
01:13:16,829 --> 01:13:18,420
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
1610
01:13:18,421 --> 01:13:19,534
Merry Christmas!
1611
01:13:19,535 --> 01:13:22,401
I waited until
the last possible minute
1612
01:13:22,402 --> 01:13:23,675
to invite you to this
1613
01:13:23,676 --> 01:13:24,711
but it's probably because
1614
01:13:24,712 --> 01:13:26,065
I waited till
the last possible minute
1615
01:13:26,066 --> 01:13:27,498
to finish my art.
1616
01:13:28,414 --> 01:13:29,608
Your gallery exhibit? Tonight?
1617
01:13:29,609 --> 01:13:30,922
Yes!
1618
01:13:30,923 --> 01:13:32,475
And I would love
for you to stop by,
1619
01:13:32,476 --> 01:13:33,590
if you can,
no pressure.
1620
01:13:33,591 --> 01:13:34,744
- But there will be cookies.
- I'm there.
1621
01:13:34,745 --> 01:13:36,297
- Me too!
- You had me at "cookies".
1622
01:13:36,298 --> 01:13:37,849
I wouldn't miss it.
I wouldn't.
1623
01:13:37,850 --> 01:13:39,482
We're all going.
We're there.
1624
01:13:39,483 --> 01:13:41,234
So, while we're all here,
why don't I open things up?
1625
01:13:41,235 --> 01:13:42,627
Yeah, actually...
1626
01:13:42,628 --> 01:13:44,380
What?
1627
01:13:44,381 --> 01:13:45,933
Can I open things up tonight?
1628
01:13:48,402 --> 01:13:49,476
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1629
01:13:49,477 --> 01:13:50,591
I'd be honored.
1630
01:13:50,592 --> 01:13:51,984
Okay. Okay.
1631
01:13:51,985 --> 01:13:54,135
I'm a little rusty,
but here we go.
1632
01:13:58,037 --> 01:13:59,630
Dear god...
1633
01:14:02,297 --> 01:14:03,571
...in the last two years,
1634
01:14:03,572 --> 01:14:04,964
I've...
1635
01:14:04,965 --> 01:14:07,832
Often thought that my prayers
weren't being answered...
1636
01:14:10,181 --> 01:14:12,331
...and now I know
that they were answered...
1637
01:14:13,406 --> 01:14:15,277
...just not in the way
I expected.
1638
01:14:16,950 --> 01:14:18,184
You led me to this group.
1639
01:14:20,851 --> 01:14:24,912
Thank you so much
for the gift of new friendships.
1640
01:14:24,913 --> 01:14:25,987
And I ask you, god,
1641
01:14:25,988 --> 01:14:28,336
just to bless every person...
1642
01:14:28,337 --> 01:14:29,651
In this group tonight...
1643
01:14:30,766 --> 01:14:32,159
...and continue to heal us...
1644
01:14:33,513 --> 01:14:35,343
...with your peace,
1645
01:14:35,344 --> 01:14:37,095
love,
1646
01:14:37,096 --> 01:14:38,210
and joy.
1647
01:14:38,211 --> 01:14:39,166
Amen.
1648
01:14:39,167 --> 01:14:40,639
Amen!
1649
01:14:41,436 --> 01:14:42,352
You weren't rusty at all!
1650
01:14:44,263 --> 01:14:45,456
Thank you.
1651
01:14:45,457 --> 01:14:47,368
I learned from the best.
1652
01:15:08,789 --> 01:15:10,302
Best seats in the house.
1653
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:16,353
Hi, everyone!
1654
01:15:16,354 --> 01:15:17,548
Merry Christmas.
1655
01:15:17,549 --> 01:15:18,624
Merry Christmas!
1656
01:15:20,734 --> 01:15:21,887
As many of you know,
1657
01:15:21,888 --> 01:15:25,033
the last couple of years
have been...
1658
01:15:25,034 --> 01:15:26,945
Really hard.
1659
01:15:28,219 --> 01:15:29,253
I, um...
1660
01:15:29,254 --> 01:15:31,007
Almost gave up
on my art completely.
1661
01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:34,868
But that would have been taking
the easy way out.
1662
01:15:36,183 --> 01:15:38,412
So I decided to take
the hard road...
1663
01:15:41,478 --> 01:15:43,985
...and open my heart,
1664
01:15:43,986 --> 01:15:46,097
and the creativity followed.
1665
01:15:47,212 --> 01:15:49,918
That never...
1666
01:15:49,919 --> 01:15:51,152
Would have been possible
1667
01:15:51,153 --> 01:15:54,098
without the love and support
of my mom and dad,
1668
01:15:54,099 --> 01:15:55,414
and my friends...
1669
01:15:56,210 --> 01:15:57,444
...who are all here tonight.
1670
01:16:00,749 --> 01:16:02,460
Each and every one of you
1671
01:16:02,461 --> 01:16:04,929
inspired me to seek hope...
1672
01:16:06,482 --> 01:16:08,034
...and love...
1673
01:16:08,035 --> 01:16:09,110
And joy...
1674
01:16:10,344 --> 01:16:12,175
...even in life's
toughest moments.
1675
01:16:12,176 --> 01:16:13,410
This is dedicated to them.
1676
01:16:17,790 --> 01:16:19,103
Now I would love to present...
1677
01:16:19,980 --> 01:16:22,170
..."hearts of healing".
1678
01:16:30,690 --> 01:16:32,600
Look, I'm wearing
my Mrs. Claus outfit!
1679
01:16:32,601 --> 01:16:34,511
- And there's little Presley!
- Adorable!
1680
01:16:34,512 --> 01:16:36,820
Is that
the quadruple-chocolate donut?
1681
01:16:36,821 --> 01:16:38,176
It is!
1682
01:16:43,710 --> 01:16:44,743
I want to thank you all
1683
01:16:44,744 --> 01:16:46,814
for joining us tonight.
1684
01:16:46,815 --> 01:16:49,959
The theme for this year's
Christmas Eve service
1685
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,548
is "holding on
while letting go".
1686
01:16:54,420 --> 01:16:55,454
Now, I'm sure
there's some of you here
1687
01:16:55,455 --> 01:16:57,526
that have lost someone
close to you...
1688
01:16:58,481 --> 01:17:00,392
...and I urge you to look around
1689
01:17:00,393 --> 01:17:02,184
and realize
that you're not alone.
1690
01:17:05,967 --> 01:17:08,036
By lighting these balloons,
1691
01:17:08,037 --> 01:17:09,190
we signify
1692
01:17:09,191 --> 01:17:10,147
that the ones
that we've lost in our lives
1693
01:17:10,147 --> 01:17:10,983
will always remain...
1694
01:17:12,098 --> 01:17:14,008
...in our hearts.
1695
01:17:14,009 --> 01:17:15,124
But before we do,
I'd like to take a moment.
1696
01:17:16,478 --> 01:17:18,746
I'd like all of us to...
1697
01:17:18,747 --> 01:17:20,100
Say a prayer,
1698
01:17:20,101 --> 01:17:22,927
recall a memory...
1699
01:17:22,928 --> 01:17:24,401
Hold them in your heart.
1700
01:17:32,802 --> 01:17:34,075
Now...
1701
01:17:34,076 --> 01:17:37,221
As we release these balloons
into the sky,
1702
01:17:37,222 --> 01:17:38,496
I'd like all of us
to celebrate them...
1703
01:17:40,407 --> 01:17:41,482
...as we let them go.
1704
01:17:43,831 --> 01:17:45,502
Are you ready?
1705
01:17:45,503 --> 01:17:47,692
- Yes.
- Yeah.
1706
01:17:47,693 --> 01:17:49,046
Whoo...
1707
01:17:49,047 --> 01:17:50,957
Three...
1708
01:17:50,958 --> 01:17:52,510
Two...
1709
01:17:52,511 --> 01:17:53,905
One.
1710
01:18:30,893 --> 01:18:32,485
That was beautiful.
1711
01:18:34,875 --> 01:18:36,626
I have to ask you something.
1712
01:18:36,627 --> 01:18:38,616
Okay?
1713
01:18:38,617 --> 01:18:39,891
Can you teach me
to paint sometime?
1714
01:18:44,192 --> 01:18:45,584
Even after I ruined your shirt?
1715
01:18:45,585 --> 01:18:46,620
Oh, yeah, yeah.
1716
01:18:46,621 --> 01:18:48,013
That's right.
You did scar me there.
1717
01:18:48,014 --> 01:18:49,526
- I know.
- A little bit, but...
1718
01:18:49,527 --> 01:18:50,721
Yeah.
1719
01:18:50,722 --> 01:18:52,075
You know what...
1720
01:18:54,544 --> 01:18:55,539
...I think I'm ready
to move forward.
1721
01:18:59,322 --> 01:19:00,795
And we can take it slow...
1722
01:19:02,546 --> 01:19:03,900
...just one small step
at a time.
1723
01:19:05,055 --> 01:19:06,449
That's right.
1724
01:19:07,722 --> 01:19:08,837
Merry Christmas, Traci.
1725
01:19:10,948 --> 01:19:12,461
Merry Christmas, Michael.
