Greg: (talking) Katie listen, (rubs Katie’s back when he says something) I’ve known you for a long time and I don’t know what if you were still going to be on the phone with your friends and family. But I’m always there for you and your always there for me and I don’t want you to be sad all the time. I want you to be happy all the time and you have to do it for me and you know what you want to do with your life and my life. When we got married, you were so happy and very proud of yourself and I am too. The laughs you made, the kissing we did and the hugging we did. I love you so much and I would never let you down always. The kids are in the living room and they are still going to be there for the next week. They are always here because they live with us and we are their parents. We have been their parents since Taylor was born and Oliver was born and Anna-Kat was born. So Katie you know what if your phone is still going there for you and your family and your friends are going to be there for you and your joy and the kids are going to be there for you and thanksgiving. You have a good life and a great memory. I’m not going anywhere so I will always be here for you. We always kiss each other and we always hug each other. And maybe every day I can bring you a little present so it can make your more happier. And every time you cry, I will be here for you. Always. And we sometimes. It get along but we always have each other’s backs always. And your my wife and best friend it hurts me when you are sad. And sometimes I can talk to you always if something is wrong. So I can do it on my way to the clock and the clock in the first tour of our house will always show us. I think you were a little harsh with me over Hans Gruber. I can always think about you every time I go to the grocery store. So I think we’re done with it now. We’re moving on to something else that we will be doing for thanksgiving later in the month. Your mom is always there for you as well. And I am too. OK?

Katie: OK.

Greg: does that make you feel better?
