Quotables:
Such a Cute Moment: "At one point, my mom and her brother are sitting on this bench and they're talking, so engaged with one another, and he is telling her why he has this bump on her head and she is listening so intently. And then she was smiling and believing every word of it. And by the way, it was an amazing, fantastical story, which isn't exactly true, but that didn't matter. She was listening and he was telling and she was believing. And it felt like in that moment, like the older brother and the younger sister on the school bench in the playyard after school."

Positive Vibes Spreading: "What happens is when you give something or someone some attention, you give them energy. You really give them some of your life. It's a life giving exchange that that alone can spark others around you to do the same, and that can build momentum. And then in time, it can feel like an event or something that happens. That's a mini miracle." [7:12 → 7:40]
