My mother.... taught me how to sing, too.

[ fond but sad smile ]

[ seeing that sad smile... ]

Is she... around, still?

[ technically we've all been separated from our loved ones in one way or another, but... ]

Oh, yes, of course. I just... um... haven't heard from her in a little while.

[ seven years ... ]

Are you close with your parents, Euphy?

[ she shakes her head. ]

When I was quite little, my parents were lost at sea. I was raised in most part by my older brother.

I'm so sorry, Euphy. I shouldn't have brought it up.

Don't be sorry. Dancing with my mother is one of the clearest memories I still have of her. It gives me joy to keep that part of her alive.

[ bawww ]

I'm sure she'd be very happy to know you were still doing your dance together.
