the easier it will be.

All right, come on,

just push. Push for me.

- Good girl.

Push, Kate. Push.

Almost there, almost there.

Dearest mother

happy mother's day

written and directed by

Sarah Adina Smith

probably not.

Yeah, I'm going to be here grading

these papers all weekend.

Yeah, I know, it's 52 this year.

Happy father's day

hi, Carol.

It's me. Your daddy.

I'm so sorry.

Daddy had to leave you.

I never loved anything

more than you.

You were my miracle.

I wanted so badly

for you to come with me.

For us to be together.

Your mother and I,

we just didn't see things

the same way.

It's so important that

you know it wasn't your fault.

And that you know that I am

so, so sorry

I wasn't there for you.

If you're hearing this message,

I, I can't imagine the pain

that I've caused you.

But it's not too late

for us to be together.

I left this message in trust

with good people.

I told them to give this to

you when you were old enough,

strong enough.

I didn't want

to leave you there all alone.

It wasn't my choice.

So, if you want to see me,

to find me,

continue where we left off,

I can be there for you now.

If you're ready.

Just go to where

we played that day,

our last day together.

Go there, turn the tape over,

press play and I will guide you.

You will always be my baby,

no matter what you choose.

I just hope you'll have

it in you to forgive me.

Remember, daddy loves you

forever, Carol.

This isn't fair.

This isn't f***ing fair.

How could you

do this to me, mom?

All these years?

He was alive?

I missed him so much.

You f***ing call me back

the minute you get this.

B*tch!

Carol! Come on, baby,

it's time to go!

Five more minutes?

Okay, five more minutes,

then we have to go.

Okay!

Hello, Carol.

I hope that you've come,

and are ready to see me again.

Listen carefully,

and I'll help you find me.

I'm ready, daddy.

Yeah, okay,

you got your backpack?

Yeah.

Hey, let's go

this way today, okay?

Where are we going?

First we're going

towards the exit.

Then we are headed south,

on Revelle Avenue.

South? Where's south?

It's this way.

Come, let's hold hands

while crossing.

How come you're carrying that?

I'm making a message

for a friend.

Do I know them?

Yes, honey.

You know them.

Turn right on third.

Third st Revelle ave

what's it say?

Just where to find us.

Why?

Because they need help.

Look at this, dad!

Wow,

that's a good looking stick.

It looks like a magic wand.

It does look magic.

- How much further?

- We're almost there.

Go left at Marmont coming up.

I promise this will

all make sense in the end.

Walk to 433 Marmont.

You know that I love you

very much, right?

I love you too, daddy.

And that I only want

what is best for us.

That's why I picked

you up today, honey.

Daddy has to go somewhere

and I needed to see you

before I left.

Where are you going?

I'm going to

a very special place.

But don't worry,

you'll come and visit me soon.

Always remember this, Carol,

the person who risks nothing,

has nothing, is nothing,

and becomes nothing.

I don't want you to go.

I know.

But I have to.

We're here.

The front door should be open.

You'll come see me

as soon as you're ready.

- I'm ready.

- I wish you were.

But I'll miss you.

I'll miss you more

than you'll ever know.

Come, we have to go inside.

Here, let daddy carry you.

Why do you have to go?

Be strong for daddy.

We're almost together again.

You are so close now.

What's that picture?

It's called an icon.

It's a symbol of faith.

Okay, honey, will you sit here

and wait for daddy?

I have to go talk

to that nice lady over there.

You're not going yet, are you?

Not yet.

I just need to talk to the lady.

- Promise?

- I promise.

Okay.

Hey, you're such a strong girl,

and I am so proud of you.

I'm here for my appointment,

to speak with you.

Thank you.

Once I go,

will you make sure

that she's taken care of?

Dad! Dad!

Dad! Dad!

I'm sorry.

Daddy! Daddy!

It wasn't my choice, Carol.

You...

You only get once chance

to meet him,

to visit this place.

That's why I made this for you,

and I pray that it found you,

so that you may find me.

I'll be so happy

to see you again.

It will have been so long.

Dad?

Mom

daddy?

Hello, baby.

I'm here for you.

- I'm so happy that you came.

- Dad!

Daddy loves you so much, Carol.

I'm so proud of you.

If you have come, and you have

found me, then you are here.

- You're finally here...

- Daddy, it's me.

...in this room,

- of your own free will.

- Please, daddy.

Oh, Carol, that means that you,

and I, can be together again.

Together.
