chris i should have made him worse oh chris don't blame yourself it just happened i loved him but i never told him you did tell him in a thousand ways things like washing his car showing him how to get along in the world and he loved you you were like a big brother to him i'm sorry i'm no one who should be sorry i've been so wrapped up in my own grief i've been through this before greg told me about his little brother crib death dad's aneurysm now greg grief has a way of sneaking back and blindsiding chris but i'm here and you can come to me anytime okay thank you mrs reston last goal oh chris what are we gonna do without him i don't know how's mom of gibraltar cheering everybody else up greg was cheated and so are the rest of us come on let's get you home your mom needs us [Music] i

i'll be fine i'll be homely oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey mom i didn't mean what i said what did you say that greg was going to take me and the other guys to the valley fair next week that's all that mattered to me joey have you been worrying about that all this time it must have sounded pretty selfish no no joey honey it's just a human reaction that's all we go along taking our routines for granted and then all of a sudden something happens and we think of the strangest things when daddy died i kept saying but he was going to take me on a trip to florida and when chris told me the news i kept blubbering on about greg not having fixed my garden hose yet so you see i did the same thing when we hear somebody we love has just died we don't think we just react so don't worry about it want to know what i kept thinking about the whole way i'm on the train about how much i'd been cheated out of when greg died because he'll never get married and have kids and her wife will be my sister-in-law and about how awful christmas is going to be now [Music] in the midst of all the planning and the telephoning the people i'd catch myself thinking has anybody called greg yet and it would strike me he won't be coming the same thing happened to me me too nothing's ever gonna be the same but we owe it to ourselves to keep our lives as full and as happy as possible that's what i had to tell myself a thousand times after daddy died and that's what got me through sandy chris thank you for coming i don't know how any of us would have managed without you these past few days craig's favorite i'll take it hillbilly music it's country music grandma it's what greg liked what would people think i don't care what people think mother i want us to celebrate greg's life not his death dear i don't believe that you alone should not sound like a honky tonk now don't you agree lauren of course you do first mother yes do you have to put on something more appropriate [Music] thanks

mother thought that basketball and soccer were a little grubby for a girl she's big on what's proper dressing for dinner joining the right clubs write music for a funeral oh sometimes it's just easier to let her have her way i always said you were a fairly strong willed if i think there's something worth fighting for like what like when bill died i had three children to raise and no marketable skills so i went back to school and then opened the shop why would your mother have a problem with that she thought i should stay home and play the grieving widow [Music] it's a nice shot thanks

that i woke up last night thinking about greg i remembered the hose he was good about doing things for me ever since his dad died he was the man of the house even after he moved in with you joey seemed a little upset he's a handful these days moody defiant it's just his way of dealing with things i had adolescence on top of all that i never went through it i was a grown-up by the time i was 12 we i had a normal family my dad had a good job when i was five he fell asleep on the sofa with a cigarette in his hand and the house caught fire [Music] everybody got out but my brother bobby dad started to drink lost his job mom spent most of her time making excuses for him everything went to hell there was no room for us little sister was so young she had no one but me every day i would tell her story make her smile and where's your sister now five years ago jeannie was in san francisco she weighed 300 pounds had a drug problem it's living with another in a long string of losers and your parents saw him today dad was drunk and mom defended him chris i'm i'm so sorry but it must have been terrible for your parents losing a child some people go on with their lives yes i envied greg having a real family people who care about you it just seems perfect that's what joey and i were arguing about family nope the fourth of july joey says the picnic will be a bummer without greg but i know greg would want us to have it yeah he would come to the picnic oh lee that's that's a family we have an empty space at the table we need you and you need us could i bring somebody of course may i ask who it is it's a kid who's having a rough time he could use a little family atmosphere come on that's where i like to hear satisfied customers you know grandpa lloyd i think you get better at this every year well oh i need the grip of chow hounds to bring out the culinary art in these gods don't get to eat like this very often or even ones that can cook wouldn't exactly call it cooking my mother taught me how to make potato salad judd she's got a secret a little sweet pickle juice in the dressing isn't that right mom that's right honey hey joey john you guys want to toss the football around i gotta work off some of this food before the ice cream's right so he looks up to him glad that greg had him as a friend i'm glad that you and the kids have him now he really enjoys being with me [Music] this is the first family outing i think he's ever been to lloyd his childhood was pretty tough i of how lucky we are i sure am glad that my son had the good sense to marry you good catch gonna play for your school team again this season i don't know i'll probably wait for basketball season i play in the police league chris is my coach did you play sports in school nah i never had time but i enjoy it it's firstly basketball chris took me to the timberwolves game last fall oh yeah cool greg took me you can go with me and judd this year huh yes and i'd love to come see some of your games you would sure [Applause] come on boys help with these chairs the firework to be starting in a minute on put them over here hey what's over here hey mom it's just for you look at this joey it's so beautiful [Music] thanks for talking to joey today was hard for him he just needs time and a big brother with one role i can't play he's the only one you aren't trying to fill what do you mean lee ruston super mom i beg your pardon everybody's hero the family anchor thinking about everybody but yourself well what do you expect me to do and you're right but they need me what i meant to say it's okay to lean on people i'm here you're very good for me hi mom hi honey how was the movie okay and jason okay well he seems nice isn't this the third time that he's asked you out mom what do you do when you've done everything in the realm of good taste to get a guy to notice you and he still doesn't some guy in particular chris oh i see i have liked him since the first time greg brought him home but he treats me like a kid sister well there's quite a big difference in your ages 12 years daddy was older than you that's true what can i do to get him to notice me hmm every situation is different i don't know what to tell you to do should i maybe ask him to do something go to a movie well that's up to you i'm going back to school soon and he's been away now that he's back i'm afraid if i don't do something to get his attention someone else will snag him while i'm gone i think mothers should stay out of situations like this gee mom you're no help [Music] well hello what a surprise how was your training stepson six weeks at the police academy with 48 other cops i missed you so now you're a certified firearms instructor call me dead eye lala i'm gonna take you to lunch today i can i've
