But for me, I remember saying to my dad, I think of the third friend who died, I said, is this normal?

It was on the phone.

He said, Charlie, this is not normal.

I promise you that.

And it was a lovely, it was hard.

The way he said it was really heartfelt.

Even in her last year, whenever I saw her, she'd say, well, hello, said them all.

But in those days, she'd always say, remember.

Always remember.
