You're gonna be okay.

But how do you deal

with being alone?

Well, you're never

really alone.

There's always someone there

to keep you hangin' on,

make life good.

Yeah.

You know, I...

It's crazy...

How something can just

change your life

and wake you up.

I mean, like really

wake you up.

I laid in that hospital bed

for days,

thinking the same thing

over and over again.

What?

If you don't create change,

change will create you.

To think it took me so long

to really understand

what that meant.

Look, um, it's getting late.

I should go.

Grandma likes to wait up

for some stupid reason,

- and the couch is really not that comfortable.

- Aldo...

My flight leaves tomorrow.

I can get you a ticket.

You know...

Only if you want.

Come by before you leave.

I will.

Hey.

Come on, you should've

went to bed by now.

- Let's get you to bed.

- I got it.

I got it.

Did you go?

Yeah.

Good. I'm glad.

Me, too.

- Hey.

- Aldo.

- I can't...

- I know.

But maybe you can call me

from time to time,

just to check up

on me if you want.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Here's my cell.

Thanks.

Mrs. Wallace?

She received a head trauma,

we're assuming when she fell.

Your grandmother suffered a heart

attack, and quite frankly,

the head trauma

is just not helping us.

She's alert, but her

vitals continue to drop.

I wanna prepare you.

She may not make it

through the night.

We're gonna keep her comfortable,

continue to monitor her,

but we've done all we can.

She's down the hall.

This would probably be

a good time to see her.

I called

ms. Shirley doyle.

I'm so sorry.

You should go in there.

Aldo?

Grandma.

Is your father out there?

Yeah. Everyone's here.

How are you feelin'?

Not good,

but I know I will be soon.

I love you so much.

I got into college.

You got in.

Yeah. I'm gonna go, too.

Oh, I'm so glad.

Will you do something for me?

Anything.

Will you read to me?

Sure.

Do you have a book

you want me to read?

Your book.

Okay.

Okay.

"You look around,

"and staring back at you

is all you know...

"doubt, fear of failing,

"falling, life unexpected.

"But just because

it's all you know,

"it doesn't mean

it's all you could.

"The refusal to let

fear control you

"will let you experience

the beauty of what inspires us.

"Even when you feel

like giving up,

"and you don't know

where you're going,

"the whole point of being alive

"is to become the person

you were meant to be.

"You don't have to be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

Not anymore."

doctor!

Get the crash cart now!

She's flatlining.

I need to start headin' out

for the airport, so...

You remember the way?

Yeah, it's my third time flying out here.

I oughta know by now.

- you leavin' tomorrow?

- Yeah.

I'll call you before then.

You call me if

you need anything.

- All right?

- Thanks.

Okay.

? Purple mountains fall on

chimneys made of gold?

? To keep you warm inside

but tingling for more?

? I see you rockin' by

the fire of your home?

? But you keep on fadin'

? The bottle's deep enough

for heaven to unfold?

? But from this alley hell,

it's definitely cold?

? Mmm, do with

what you're told?

? To keep from fadin'

? To keep from fadin'

hi.

Hi.

Looks like

you're going somewhere.

Finally moving forward.

I just want to say

I'm so sorry.

Me, too.

Promise me one thing.

You won't forget

to remember me.

Never.

Come with me.

Is there room for one more?

Yeah.

What will you do out there?

We'll figure it out.

I like the sound of that.

? So shine on, little light

? Shine on from heaven

? Show me it's all right

? Show me it's all right

? Oooooooh

? You keep your balance

as you reach out from the dark?

? To touch a light that's

barely bright enough for talk?

? And everybody knows

that tickin's just for clocks?

? But you keep on fadin'

? Yeah, you keep on

fadin'?

? So shine on,

little light?

? Shine on from heaven

? Show me it's all right

? Show me it's all right

? Stay strong,

my little girl?

? Look up to heaven

? They tell you

it's all right?

? That everything's

all right?

? Just lay down

? Little girl

? Eyes up to heaven

? They tell you

it's all right?

? Everything's all right
