And he was sick, you know, he was just lying down and not really talking that much at that point. But he did say to her, he said, Manuelita, thank you for my life.

What does it feel like to hear that he said that?

Tell me more. Tell me more about what it feels like.

I know that he wouldn't do that so fast, so soon. Well, like, I think when I hear that story, it's kind of beautiful to me because he loved his life so much.

And he loved his family, and he loved you. Yeah. Yeah.

I brought up my dad's last days and my mom's mind went straight to their last night together. Cut to the heart of her grief. To this moment when he was dying and they forgave each other for their hurts. We've never talked about this. My mom never talks like this. Yeah.

When I was nine, my parents had a rough patch in their relationship and decided to separate. After a few months, they got back together. I never really knew how or why. We didn't like to speak about that time in my family. But as I was talking to my mom about all this, she brought it up. You want to know the real hitchhiking story, she said?

She told me that during the time they were separated, one day, she was driving down the street, and she saw my dad was walking. And as she approached him on the road, he saw it was her and her Volvo, and he threw his thumb in the air. Cool joke, huh? So she stopped, picked him up. A couple days later, they got back together. That's the important story, she said.

After that, my parents stayed married another 20 years. During that time, they had a blast together. Sometimes inseparable. The best time of their marriage, my mom tells me. After they returned to that root moment where everything started. Only this time, it wasn't random chance. It was his choice to flag her down. And hers to scoop him up.
