0:00:02.566,0:00:03.965
Hey, Forrest...

0:00:09.341,0:00:11.832
were you scared in Vietnam?

0:00:13.021,0:00:14.734
Yes.

0:00:14.784,0:00:16.373
Well, l...

0:00:16.379,0:00:18.507
I don't know.

0:00:18.492,0:00:20.551
<i>Sometimes it would stop raining</i>

0:00:20.540,0:00:23.941
<i>long enough for[br]the stars to come out...</i>

0:00:26.618,0:00:28.552
<i>and then it was nice.</i>

0:00:32.170,0:00:34.798
It was like just[br]before the sun goes to bed

0:00:34.808,0:00:36.017
down on the bayou.

0:00:37.605,0:00:40.758
<i>There was always[br]a million sparkles on the water...</i>

0:00:43.326,0:00:45.813
<i>like that mountain lake.</i>

0:00:46.043,0:00:47.602
<i>It was so clear, Jenny,</i>

0:00:47.658,0:00:50.593
<i>it looked like[br]there were two skies</i>

0:00:50.647,0:00:52.581
<i>one on top of the other.</i>

0:00:54.885,0:00:58.252
And then in the desert,[br]when the sun comes up...

0:01:00.414,0:01:02.087
<i>I couldn't tell</i>

0:01:02.117,0:01:06.549
<i>where heaven stopped[br]and the earth began.</i>

0:01:08.899,0:01:11.060
<i>It's so beautiful.</i>

0:01:15.223,0:01:17.569
I wish I could've[br]been there with you.

0:01:21.587,0:01:23.138
You were.

0:01:33.090,0:01:34.785
I love you.

0:01:39.526,0:01:42.654
<i>You died on a Saturday morning.</i>

0:01:44.524,0:01:48.620
And I had you placed[br]here under our tree.

0:01:53.172,0:01:55.948
And I had that house[br]of your father's

0:01:55.948,0:01:58.212
bulldozed to the ground.

0:02:01.727,0:02:02.921
<i>Mama...</i>

0:02:04.791,0:02:06.725
always said

0:02:07.335,0:02:09.931
that dyin' was a part of life.

0:02:12.873,0:02:14.636
I sure wish it wasn't.

0:02:18.023,0:02:19.547
Little Forrest is...

0:02:20.227,0:02:21.941
doing just fine.

0:02:22.187,0:02:23.176
"But..."

0:02:23.176,0:02:25.610
<i>About to start school again soon,</i>

0:02:25.610,0:02:26.965
<i>and...</i>

0:02:28.775,0:02:31.340
<i>and I make his breakfast,[br]lunch, and dinner</i>

0:02:31.370,0:02:32.418
every day.

0:02:34.698,0:02:36.290
I make sure he...

0:02:37.960,0:02:39.393
combs his hair

0:02:39.513,0:02:41.606
and brushes his teeth every day.

0:02:44.039,0:02:46.219
Teaching him how[br]to play Ping-Pong.

0:02:48.741,0:02:50.174
<i>He's really good.</i>

0:02:50.270,0:02:52.363
Uh, Forrest, you go.

0:02:52.363,0:02:53.421
Uhh!

0:02:57.131,0:02:58.564
<i>We fish a lot.</i>

0:03:02.015,0:03:04.211
And every night,[br]we read a book.

0:03:04.211,0:03:05.814
He's so smart, Jenny.

0:03:08.990,0:03:11.083
You'd be so proud of him.

0:03:12.787,0:03:14.049
I am.

0:03:14.899,0:03:18.222
He, uh, wrote you[br]a... a letter.

0:03:20.502,0:03:23.437
And he says I can't read it.[br]I'm not supposed to,

0:03:23.437,0:03:26.372
so I'll just leave it[br]here for you.

0:03:42.010,0:03:43.375
Jenny...

0:03:48.945,0:03:51.210
I don't know[br]if Mama was right

0:03:52.262,0:03:55.356
or if it... it's[br]Lieutenant Dan.

0:03:55.356,0:03:57.251
I don't know...

0:03:57.741,0:04:00.403
if we each have a...

0:04:01.883,0:04:03.009
destiny...

0:04:04.539,0:04:08.305
or if we're all just[br]floating around accidental-like

0:04:08.305,0:04:09.738
on a breeze...

0:04:13.988,0:04:15.922
but l... I think...

0:04:18.110,0:04:19.873
maybe it's both.

0:04:23.823,0:04:27.054
Maybe both get happening[br]at the same time.

0:04:33.047,0:04:34.981
But I miss you, Jenny.

0:04:41.541,0:04:43.532
If there's anything[br]you need...

0:04:44.642,0:04:46.576
I won't be far away.
