00:00 Thank you very much.
00:02 Okay, so, can we go back to your love story?
00:07 Sure.
00:08 Okay, so you got married.
00:11 Yes.
00:12 How long were you together?
00:14 From the time we were boyfriend and girlfriend until we became husband and wife, almost 23 years.
00:21 23 years. But how long were you married?
00:24 12 years.
00:27 Were they still kids when you lost your husband?
00:32 Their dad passed away when Nathan was 9 and Neeron was 7.
00:36 When they were still kids.
00:38 When you lost your husband, was there a job for you?
00:45 Or at that time, your father was the breadwinner and you lost him. What was the situation of your life?
00:50 We had a small messenger business with my husband. That was our business.
01:00 How did you face the fact that you lost your husband? How painful was it for you?
01:06 Actually, he was my best friend. Not only my husband.
01:12 It was really painful because we suddenly lost each other. Because 24/7 we were together.
01:20 You were partners in your house and in your work.
01:24 Yes. We were always together. It was a clingy relationship.
01:28 He was always with me wherever I go.
01:32 I understood him because he loves me.
01:36 It's okay with me.
01:39 It was really hard because all of a sudden, he was gone.
01:44 I was the only one who was left.
01:50 My mother was asking about my father's death.
01:53 Of course, we didn't know what depression meant at that time.
01:56 But when we were coming back, I felt that my mother was really depressed.
02:00 She was so thin and she was sleeping.
02:04 She was so sad.
02:07 She was really thin.
02:10 Were you also really thin? Did you get pregnant?
02:14 Did you not eat? Did you not go out?
02:18 When he was gone, I didn't sleep for a week.
02:25 I didn't eat.
02:27 But I thought that...
02:28 You were also fat.
02:30 No, he was skinny.
02:32 It's good that he was skinny.
02:34 Even if your immune system doesn't help you, it will still affect you.
02:37 He was skinny.
02:38 He was skinny.
02:41 And then...
02:43 Oh, that's our mainstay.
02:45 Oh, she's really the mainstay.
02:47 I thought it was Mother's Day.
02:49 Yes, we greeted her with "Happy Mother's Day."
02:51 She will make us feel it.
02:53 What was that?
02:54 But what I thought was that I need to be strong for my children.
02:59 So, rather than being sad,
03:03 I chose to be a stronger version of myself.
03:07 Being not only a mom, but also a dad to them.
03:11 Nathan, you were 9 years old and Nero was...
03:17 7.
03:18 7.
03:19 How did you understand that your dad was gone?
03:23 How did you feel when you were kids?
03:25 For me...
03:27 Your dad wouldn't come home, and you were just thinking about your mom.
03:29 You were just three at home.
03:31 I think I was a bit surprised.
03:33 Because the other day we were just together,
03:35 and then the next day, he was gone.
03:39 It was a fast-paced transition.
03:41 It's not like, for example, when someone is terminally ill,
03:46 maybe for months, you can feel that they are getting weaker.
03:49 But this was fast.
03:51 How did your dad disappear?
03:53 Brain aneurysm.
03:55 Ah, the roots of the body were popping.
03:58 Yes, the roots.
03:59 And then he died.
04:01 And you, Nathan, you were older than Nero.
04:06 For me, at first, I was surprised too.
04:09 But I thought that I have to be more mature.
04:12 I have to step up and be a better role model to my brother.
04:16 But yeah, of course, I was sad too.
04:19 For two weeks, or around two months,
04:23 there were times when I would suddenly cry.
04:26 But I thought that I also have to be strong for my brother and for my mother.
04:30 But Nathan, isn't that hard?
04:33 Because you are the older brother,
04:35 you are the father of the family.
04:37 Isn't that hard for you?
04:39 My mom never preassured me to be that person.
04:42 But I felt that I really have to up my level of maturity
04:47 to be more understanding.
04:49 Because when my dad died,
04:52 it was also hard because he had to take care of his brother.
04:56 I was the older sister at that time.
04:58 It was hard for me to explain to my siblings.
05:01 You were the older sister, right?
05:03 I was the older sister.
05:04 I was the older brother, right?
05:06 You were the older sister.
05:08 But you were a good sister.
05:10 You have to be the older sister at the party.
05:12 Because a lot of you donated to us.
05:14 Especially when we were having a plan to go abroad.
05:17 But you were great, right?
05:21 You were really great.
05:24 You were great.
05:27 You were great.
05:30 You were great.
