Like I did think like, did you see my father?

I just remember like me and this man being, I'm like, and he's like, no, I for sure saw your father.

Let me ask you.

All right.

Do you consider that traumatic?

If it's that small a window.

One of my favorite memories.

Right, no, that's what I mean.

Like, some people go like, and they- No, like, that's what I'm saying.

Like, that was so fun just to have an adventure with him of any kind.

And thank God everybody treated me well.

The store owner handled it appropriately.

Was obviously going to notify the police or something.

Was like, don't worry.

Because I said he'll come back, and he agreed he would come back, but I'm sure he would have called appropriate people.

He wasn't mean or anything, and he let me have my snacks, so it's like... But yeah, I just don't have that many memories of him, which is explained... Did your life get better when you guys left him?

Or was it just like a rattle?

Yeah, you know, it's...

We felt a lot poorer leaving him just because it was now like my mother is a single mother of 10 kids.

And we didn't have that community support, which wasn't – it was horrible support at the time, especially for my mother who was not having good times.
