1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Cara StLouis....) In fact, most people (check)

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the way I've come to be 
sitting with you, Miles,

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
goes back to --
in fact, goes back my whole life --

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but specifically to July 2010, when I was
living in the State of Maine in the US,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Obviously, I am an American.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And with my family --
(Miles... ) You're not Canadian?

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Cara) I'm not Canadian, no: I am
from the American Southwest, actually,

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is really sort of germinal to
my own personal history, but

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
particularly there, I was living in 
seacoast Maine, in a little village

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and my mother had come 
to be near the grandchildren,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because they were all growing up.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And she'd been there for about a year

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and July 11 was a beautiful, sunny
Sunday morning in Maine

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and she got up and she was walking
to church, which was about

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a block and a half from her flat,
from where she lived

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and she had just about reached 
the other side of the main street,

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is, we call it the High Street,
it's a very small town,

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when she was actually run over by a van,
a minivan

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and thrown god knows how far, twenty or
(no sound)

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
point my mother was 74 years old,

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she was definitely, you know, 
in the latter moments of her life,

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
her lifespan and anyway, just about
every bone in her body was broken

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and she was conscious, believe it or not,
taken to the hospital. (2:03)
