I mean, it means I see him just as much, but, you know, we have to walk a block.

I definitely think that when you're part of the community of parents whose children are not going to be, you know, who are not talking about, you know, going to Harvard and all the rest of it, it does give you a really different outlook on the world.

And...

I think that Georgie has made me much more connected to people who, you know, everything isn't so perfect.

And the pain of seeing people, for instance, you know, who don't have any resources, contacts, whatever, to make the situation easier is, you know, I think about it all the time.

I mean, it's hard enough having a child with these kind of issues when you do have resources and, you know, you do have enough income to be able to

bring in people to help and support and so forth.

If you don't, I, you know, it's unbearable.

And these are, never discuss these problems.

There's a real sweetness to having that person, you know, in one's life.

We were like, we became like the odd couple, you know, having this

rubbing along together.

And I secretly wish he would move back, actually.

I'm slightly working on it.
