And he took his hat off and he put it on me.

And that was just... He said,

"My God, your hair's all over you."

So I said, "Yeah, I can see that."

So, you know, I could always go to a Parrothead meeting,

or one of their parties,

'cause they have 'em probably every month.

- Mm-hmm. - And just check it out.

Yeah.

Who's this?

Isaiah, up! Watch! Guys! Look!

Oh here's... The story is...

Yeah, I'm right now with Norman Lee at his church.

Isaiah! Up! Up!

He's gonna help me out with some stuff.

Good boy!

Good boy!

Good boy.

Hey, Dennis! I think we have your ride!

Yeah!

Ninety percent of the weddings I've done,

everybody's been over 70 years old.

- Sure, yeah. Wow. - I mean hundreds of them.

And it's wonderful for people to find love again...

Oh, yeah.

...in the twilight of their years.

And so, you're no different than anybody else.

- Yeah. - You know.

- If you can find... - The right person.

When you find a good woman, it shows.

- Yeah. - Or if you find a good man,

- you know who it is. - Yeah.

I've been single most of my life,

and I've met a lot of bad women. I've had bad experiences.

Well, you're not the only one.

- No, no. - You know, I was young,

I played on the road, and we did crazy things.

But you can't have the flavor of the week

when you're 81 years old. You kinda gotta find somebody.

Yeah.

Somebody that's somewhat got it together...

that can help steer you in the right direction, also.

I know exactly how you feel, and I know exactly

what you're doing,

because I lived my life, basically,

the same way up until I was 40 years old.

- Yeah. - But when I was 40,

I didn't want to end up like you at 81.

Yeah.

There has to be more than just surviving.

Heavenly Father,

my brother Dennis is down at a low point in his life.

We're praying for some shelter,

for some transportation, for some friends in his life,

some good Christian men and women

that can help him along in his struggle.

We're gonna pray for possibly a companion,

A good woman, a good godly woman

to help him stay on the straight and narrow,

to help him get a direction

so that he doesn't necessarily have to keep going

up and down in his life,

that maybe, at 81 years old, he can finally be content

and stand on solid ground.

We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, amen and amen.

- Amen. Amen. - Amen. Amen.

- Amen, brother. - Thank you so much.

We have talked a lot today

about being positive, Anne.

Has that situation, from your perspective, improved?

Or has it got a long ways to go? A little ways to go? What...?

Well, we didn't have a real marriage before.

Now we have a real marriage.

We were seriously talking about going our separate ways,

but we're much, much, much better at it.

And besides, we don't argue as much anymore.

I don't want to put words in your mouth.

When we get mad at each other, do we carry it around?

Um... Well, sometimes I do, yeah.

So, Anne, when was it hardest for you to be positive?

Is there a certain setting that would trigger negativeness?

Feeling that I'm not being listened to,

that makes me kinda lose...

control.

Because even if somebody doesn't agree, I feel like...

they could listen.

So what would you like to see in Reggie that

would be helpful, not only to Reggie, but to you?

Um... Being open,

being listened to,

being able to communicate.

Getting respect.

And love.

And...

But that's a checklist of beautiful emotions.

How do you want me to work on...?

Those are things that I want.

They are important to me, so they are the things that

I would want you to continue to do, and work on.

All of those things.

Well, that certainly shouldn't let the...

I know this is serious.

It's still a violation of the law,

but it's, as you've said before,

it's not the most serious case that I deal with so...

- Hello there. - Hey. Come in.

- Thank you. - Come in.

- Good to see you. - Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Good to see you. It's been a long time.

I know. Welcome back.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

I was always worried that maybe something...

If your van broke down, what would you do, you know?

- Yeah. - I thought about it.

Sure. The van has to go.

I can't drive the van on the streets,

because it's like a wanted person that's wanted.

Where will you live, if you don't have your van to live in?

You're right...

- That's my question! - You're right.

- I want to know. - You want me back?

Come on, tell me.

I don't know for sure. I'm just playing it day by day.

Yeah, I know. You're edging around the answer, right?

- Okay. Yeah. - I just wanna be comfortable.

Are you going to let me stay here?

Yeah, you can. You know me. You can trust me.

Oh, I can trust you, absolutely. Yeah.

- You know that. - Yeah.

So for old time's sake?

- Yes. I can do that. - Thank you.

But the vehicle didn't quite fit his family of five,

What do you want for lunch?

When I was young,

I used to come home from school to an empty house.

My father had flown the coop,

and my mother worked as a maid at a hotel.

It was very, very lonely.

One day I found a baby squirrel,

and I brought it home, and I put it in a shoe box.

Several days later, when I went home,

it was very, very sick.

It was actually dead,

but I didn't know it at the time.

I had forgotten to feed it for a couple of days.

So, I took it out of the box, and I laid it on a table.

And I prayed and I prayed for several hours.

And then my mother came home, and she found us.

She was furious.

She picked it up and she threw it in the garbage.

And I lost control. I started screaming and crying,

"Mama, Mama! God didn't answer my prayer!

God didn't answer my prayer, Mama!"

She turned to me, she gave a little chuckle,

and she said,

"Judy, God answers all our prayers.

It's just rarely is it ever the answer we're looking for."

And that was it.

That was it.

So you've been through a lot this last year with me
