My husband was filming a wedding in Iowa, so he wasn't there.

And

My parents neither could afford to drive themselves to Chicago, nor could they afford a hotel room.

So I was driving the two of them.

They haven't been together in over a year, haven't seen each other.

I got to put them in my car together, drive all the way to Chicago, then we shared a hotel room.

Yes.

So I was like, just I just got to make it through this weekend.

Like it was one of the hardest weekends I'd ever had up to that point.

You know, we are laying rich to rest, which was

just it's still hard for me to comprehend at this point that he's not here um so like and then you add in that like my parents haven't been with each other and i've got to take them both there this is somebody that's so important to all of our lives so who knows how they're going to react or how they're going to be so it my dad had been

two weeks sober on the day of Rich's funeral.

Two weeks.

That was the longest stretch he had been since the accident.

And they're getting along.

They're being cordial with each other.

They're talking.

You know, we're just trying to like focus on our family that has just lost Rich.

And

I had went somewhere and left the two of them in the hotel room.
