1:32:01
Yeah. All by myself.
1:32:04
And I wanted to learn to laugh.
1:32:10
Why couldn't I be funnier
when Mitch was alive?

1:32:13
But you know, I figured it out.
It takes time to be funny...

1:32:17
and it takes time to extract joy from life.
1:32:23
So I enrolled in comedy school.
1:32:28
Yeah, I did. I know, I know.
1:32:31
I was the oldest one in the class.
Thank you.

1:32:35
And we were told to tell a story.
1:32:38
Something true,
something that really happened to us.

1:32:41
So I got up there
and I talked about my husband...

1:32:47
and the love he left behind.
1:32:54
A few days after Mitch died...
1:32:56
I was walking through the yard
and I saw our neighbor...

1:33:00
who was a very good friend
of Mitch's, Bob...

1:33:04
and he saw me coming
through the gate...

1:33:08
and he said,
"I am so sorry for your loss. "

1:33:12
And I knew that he needed
to feel that loss, too...

1:33:16
and to share it,
and I wanted to help him.

1:33:19
And he put his arms around me,
he cradled me...

1:33:23
and his embrace tightened.
1:33:26
Finally, here was somebody
who truly cared.

1:33:33
And then...
1:33:36
I felt something else.
1:33:51
Something huge.
