Read it.

"Perhaps many people might have said
of him that he was a failure.
1:49:09
lt is true that he had no gift for
making money,
1:49:12
but he had a gift for laughter,
and for making people love him.
1:49:17
He had the gift of making you feel
proud to walk down the street with him
1:49:21
He had nothing to give but himself.
1:49:24
But of this he gave generously, like
a king.
1:49:27
Like a king. Thas like it was.
1:49:31
Walking down the street with him,
you always felt like that.
1:49:35
Did you, Mama.
1:49:38
You were real smart to write it down
like that, Francie.
1:49:41
Thas like it was. Francie, l miss
him so much!
1:49:50
lf the baby's a boy, we'll call him
Johnny. Where's Sissy?
1:49:57
Neeley's been gone a long time. Wipe
my face.
1:50:04
No, don't let go of my hand.
1:50:08
lf is a girl, we'll call her Annie
Lorrie.
1:50:12
Remember that tune he played? You
ought to have piano lessons.
1:50:16
l'll see if l can manage.
1:50:18
You won't forget to dust the piano,
will you Francie?
1:50:21
Who'll cry for me like that if l
died?
1:50:24
l never did a wrong thing in my life,
but it ain't enough.
1:50:27
Oh! Sissy, l didn't mean to be hard,
like you said!
1:50:32
lf Johnny were here, he could go to
your graduation, and l'd go to
1:50:36
Neeley's, but l, l can't tear myself
into two pieces.
1:50:40
How am l going to do both? Oh!
Where are you, Francie!
1:50:48
l'm here, Mama!
1:50:49
Oh, you're such a comfort to me.
l'm so tired. Leave me sleep now.
