Yeah, it's funny because we'd be similar, me and my mother, like that.

She could see, I think, very quickly how life could continue, that life wasn't going to be this terrible thing.

It was going to be a terrible life now because this had happened to her.

Her husband had killed himself, the father of her children.

So, you know, she was going to be able to still have a joyful, wonderful, full life.

And she could see that.

And I suppose, yeah.

If she could see it, then I could see it.

I can't speak for my siblings, but I could see it.

And so her worldview and her idea of how things could continue was something I could take up as well.

But I think there's other things that happen inside you that

He was, he would drink, but I don't know if he, I think that goes hand in hand a lot with, you know, they say dual diagnosis of mental illness and alcoholism.

And I don't know if he was an alcoholic, but he certainly was.

drank and um he was a kind of a he wouldn't have been the most reliable of characters in terms of being um there and you know yeah sorry the question is what did you get from your dad oh yeah well i mean he's a beautiful voice and i like to think i have a nice singing voice but my children would disagree because they have really good singing voices um

I think personality, like he was, from what I hear, and again, it's sort of stuff I've heard, that he could walk into a room and make friends with people.

And like he used to drive a taxi sometimes.

Sometimes he'd like have people in the back who were going to a party and he'd end up ditching the taxi and going to the party.

And that sort of sounds quite spontaneous and like me.

I think personality wise, we might have been quite similar in that kind of gregariousness and kind of the, you know, taking life by the scruff of its neck and just being into people and into the crack and wanting to

Yeah.
