99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Cara StLouis Farrelly) In fact, most people (check)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the way I've come to be 
sitting with you, Miles,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
goes back to --
in fact, goes back my whole life --

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,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Obviously, I am an American.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And with my family --
(Miles Johnston ) You're not Canadian?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Cara) I'm not Canadian, no: I am
from the American Southwest, actually,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is really sort of germinal to
my own personal history, but

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
particularly there, I was living in 
seacoast Maine, in a little village

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and my mother had come 
to be near the grandchildren,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because they were all growing up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And she'd been there for about a year

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and July 11 was a beautiful, sunny
Sunday morning in Maine

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and she got up and she was walking
to church, which was about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a block and a half from her flat,
from where she lived

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and she had just about reached 
the other side of the main street,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is, we call it the High Street,
it's a very small town,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when she was actually run over by a van,
a minivan

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and thrown god knows how far, twenty or
(no sound)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
point my mother was 74 years old,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she was definitely, you know, 
in the latter moments of her life,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
her lifespan and anyway, just about
every bone in her body was broken

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and she was conscious, believe it or not,
taken to the hospital. (2:03)
