:40:01
You could play anywhere.
:40:04
Best place to play was
right outside the candy store
my mother ran for the landlord.

[Woman Shouting In Russian]
:40:11
- My mother was only 25.
- Moyshe!
:40:14
- But she was sick
as long as I could remember.
- Moyshe! Moyshe!
:40:17
I felt if I ignored it, maybe
the sickness would go away.
:40:22
What happened to her?
:40:24
She went to the hospital,
and she died there.
:40:30
[Sobbing]
:40:33
They sent us a telegram.
:40:38
My father couldn't read English,
so I had to read it.
:40:45
[Reading In Yiddish]
:41:01
[Morrie] That's how I learned
that my mother had died.
:41:05
I've still got the telegram.
:41:09
It's all that's left
of my mother, except memories.
:41:14
So you grew up
with your father?
:41:17
My father... He was an immigrant
from Russia, a very silent man.
:41:22
He never showed
what he really felt.
:41:25
After my mother died, he...
he'd come home from work...
:41:29
when he could get work...
:41:31
and he'd never
come in the house.
:41:34
He'd stay outside,
read the newspaper...
:41:38
until he knew I was asleep.
:41:41
What was he feeling?
See, I never knew.
:41:44
What... Was he in pain?
Was he suffering? I...
:41:48
All I knew was that...
that I needed his love.
:41:51
I needed him to hold me
so I wouldn't be so afraid.
:41:55
[Sighs]
:41:57
Never got it, though, did you?
