9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Cara StLouis....) In fact, most people (check)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And the way I've come to be [br]sitting with you, Miles,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
goes back to --[br]in fact, goes back my whole life --

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but specifically to July 2010, when I was[br]living in the State of Maine in the US,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Obviously, I am an American.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And with my family --[br](Miles... ) You're not Canadian?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Cara) I'm not Canadian, no: I am[br]from the American Southwest, actually,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is really sort of germinal to[br]my own personal history, but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
particularly there, I was living in [br]seacoast Maine, in a little village

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and my mother had come [br]to be near the grandchildren,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because they were all growing up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And she'd been there for about a year

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and July 11 was a beautiful, sunny[br]Sunday morning in Maine

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and she got up and she was walking[br]to church, which was about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a block and a half from her flat,[br]from where she lived

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and she had just about reached [br]the other side of the main street,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is, we call it the High Street,[br]it's a very small town,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when she was actually run over by a van,[br]a minivan

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and thrown god knows how far, twenty or[br](no sound)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
point my mother was 74 years old,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she was definitely, you know, [br]in the latter moments of her life,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
her lifespan and anyway, just about[br]every bone in her body was broken

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and she was conscious, believe it or not,[br]taken to the hospital. (2:03)
