really trying to hear it.

I know I walk around here

thinking I'm different.

You know, I'm better now.

But deep down inside

I'm still that same old drug fiend.

I'm still scheming.

But only this time

it ain't for drugs. It's for you.

What I'm trying to say is...

I've been putting myself first,

trying so hard

to make you love me.

I ain't even really heard what you

been trying to say to me, you know?

Baby, just please

be patient with me,

'cause I'm really trying.

And you've grown.

You've grown up to be

quite a strong young woman...

you know?

I'm really proud of you

and I want to respect

what you need.

So, even if that means

that you need to move down

with your grandmother...

- I'm sorry.

... then that's what it's got to be.

Okay?

And don't be sorry.

Just be yourself.

You're beautiful.

- It's gonna be all right.

- Okay.

Each month we come up here

and we celebrate people

that have passed.

But today, I just

wanted to talk

a little bit about those

who are still with us.

You know, day by day we struggle,

and not only with the virus.

We struggle

with the government,

we struggle with

those who judge us,

we struggle with those

who ignore us, who fear us.

We even struggle with

those we love...

and those who love us.

So, today we give thanks

for all those who

stand alongside us...

our families

and friends...

doctors, nurses,

just everyone that...

helps give us the strength

and courage to carry on.

Each month we come up here

and we release these balloons

in honor of those we lost.

And we do it with love,

with sorrow,

and with the hope

that one day they'll find

a cure for this virus.
