We opened her up, we closed her up.

There's nothing we can do.

And in that moment, all of the other things,

that I was stressed about and worried about and all that, the volume was turned so far down on all those things because my mom was gonna die.

Like, and I, all that became important was how can I spend a little more time with her?

How can I make sure she knows I love her?

How can I savor this, this wonderful thing, which by the way, you're dying.

Like Lisa's dying.

There is a finite number of times you will kiss your wife.

You don't know the number, but it's a number.

Like I'll be able to tell you it someday.

Like there's a finite number though.

Like, and you won't know until you've crossed over it, until you've passed it, that that was it, that was the last time.

Like, and that to me, like if you don't keep that in your line of sight, you're a fool.

You're a fool because you're gonna think you get to do that forever.

You're gonna think you get to do that all the time and you don't, you will not do that forever.

Like there is a finite number of times and that's the most beautiful thing in the world.

It's what makes that so special is that it's finite.

Like if it lasted forever, like to live forever would be a curse.

Like being Dracula is a curse, you know, but the truth is like she's alive right now.
