29:10
or three car garage it was definitely
29:13
a i'm guessing like i better have it was
29:15
like a little mentioned and you can tell
29:17
that was a house that was meant for a big family
29:20
and they were remnants of that every
29:22
hey there was something kind of diminished
29:24
about it you know yeah
29:27
when any people
29:29
what happened with all of this things like how
29:31
did you deal with his presence in like

freaking khaki pants that he had
30:27
all , odds are there were in
30:29
a trash quick see regard
30:31
all that white shirts any sauces
30:34
if is this short slime but of is this long
30:36
white sox she got
30:38
good idea to death on this
30:40
issue for all
30:42
his his get rid of i see
30:44
about a court of his stuff that don't
30:47
want to see can
30:49
i just gave bad memories love
30:51

30:54

30:57
the times at night she'd cry for and
31:00
i had to be right there and hours
31:03
a week i enjoyed sewing not them and
31:05
now i say went right down instances
31:07
yeah no i really really miss
31:09
some
31:12
it goes on every day
31:16
it took a part of her
31:17
how
31:21
many years has been since you've been attacked
31:24
a sixteen years fifteen years
31:26
the remember the has images
31:29
of my house come
31:31
to me
31:32
are really from like different times
31:34
and points in my life like
31:36
i can conjure up a christmas when my
31:38
mom balmy unicycle and i can kind of
31:40
go back and remember how the house was summary
31:43
that can remember them the paint or how
31:45
the house looks like this offseason
31:48
as yeah i saw
31:51
and in the room that we were sitting and i was
31:53
facing the front door and
31:55
asked to the last there was was then
31:59
there's comfort on their what
32:01
what photographs to think they have
32:03
up with you
32:06
they probably have a a a of photograph
32:08
have me with them visiting me while
32:11
incarcerated
32:14
no i was i think that
32:16
maybe
32:18
maybe a high school picture know what high school
32:20
think she had a promptly sir state
32:22
shall we have contact her up so what
32:24
does it feel like says know
32:26
that someone was to spend time your
32:28
home it's
32:34
it's the
32:36
really know about explaining like now
32:39
that you know you're here and i know you been there
32:41
it's there it's it's like you're
32:43
bringing the memories back
32:48
the only think about whom that much anymore
32:51
i think because as
32:54
time moves on the
32:58
really for me like
33:00
to protect myself from not letting
33:04
the outside or letting my memories affect
33:06
me in here i think you you and of putting
33:09
up walls and you block those
33:11
memories out your , in
33:13
memories to me that i freely
33:17
been talking out of existence
33:19
for a long time there's
33:21
a tiger as you know
33:24
it's it's it's
33:26
it's vastly refreshing because
33:29
you know it's been long time since
33:31
i really damn home
33:33
and though
33:36
when you come here from
33:39
recently been a my house it
33:42
reminds me what need to get back to
33:45
the
33:52
question for you not actually like
33:54
how much the
33:56
bertha met ryan was that interview where
33:58
you what was your perception and what is
34:00
your perception now at scene is home and like
34:02
the other half his life the
34:04
guy he was they kinda quiet
34:07
but like the
34:09
pretty boy
34:10
you know when you're getting maybe else has since
34:12
i was very well the last
34:16
on to seems nice and and and
34:18
and genuine
34:20
and was really focus on his hair i can
34:22
spend less time on his hair and
34:24
, and he's super polite
34:27
polite then after going to his house and learning
34:29
about you know just growing
34:32
up and what does family was like i
34:35
just started seeing him and
34:39
, honest a to search seen the tragedy
34:42
of that any made
34:45
and my guys how
34:48
many people
34:52
in a situation in there might could been
34:54
so different sixteen how he grew up
34:57
and the people that cared about him
34:59
and like what is like could have been since
35:01
, least that's weighing heavy on nice
35:04
and that's a places
35:08
places many people i me in here but
35:10
why guess when you meet somebody family and you're welcomed
35:12
into their home it ,
35:14
the person concerned life to you
35:16
outside san clinton they
35:19
have little bit more of an idea of the journey as
35:21
how they got here and is assess
35:24
like ah man can these sydney's different
35:26
choice i
35:28
feel like i have neighbors that nevada chance
35:31
that i mean ryan had chance to
35:34
the decisions we do a test the way nurse
35:37
who have rights you
35:39
know because i've had
35:41
so many chances are that so many opportunities
35:44
out there and
35:46
now i'm here in ways i knew it
35:51
weighs on heavily this
35:53
point my mom i know she was
35:55
disappointed and
35:59
maybe the even someone ashamed the
36:02
i don't know much about
36:04
a month
36:07
do you want to hear it does and
36:09
say your dad said she would just and
36:12
so when she know when she passed
36:14
she would just cry at night and he'd be
36:16
like when you crying about
36:19
and safe and say anything and then
36:21
you're crying about ryan or and
36:25
you shouldn't tell you that mass
36:28
it's at something at something
36:30
knew they felt
36:32
it the i would think about
36:34
are constantly so at that moment when
36:36
i would think about her i
36:38
knew that she sees about me
36:42
never really we
36:45
process her passing
36:48
and i think it's because i'm so far
36:50
removed from out there it
36:52
as really hit me you
36:55
don't need a she's she's there the
37:00
my happiness in his lot pain that house
37:04
hard to me doesn't wanna go back the
37:07
party meters my
37:10
going on around oh
37:15
different you're right a different plan i
37:18
hate head their that version the meat
37:21
i still see that version would the house
37:24
with that area so i
37:26
i even wanna think about that
37:32
you know it happened your socks
37:35
i mean i i imagine they'd probably throw away
37:38
the has carried over such a lot know
37:40
are they still there's your money's
37:42
them to clean house or call for some
37:45
