I didn't say anything on Father's Day because I felt like I couldn't that day. It was too much. But I should try and say something. It just seems right to, to help say goodbye to it all like Justin says. And to just let people know. Because--just because.

My dad's name was Nathan. All of the mail came to the house for Nathan, not Nate. He didn't go

You’re very lucky to have had a father that you cared about, and cared for you.

Did you have something in mind for a job?

[chasingmorning]

That's one thing that he did without a doubt. Not everything was so lucky.

No. I've never thought about it too much. I like to read. I like music. I don't know what I'm good at though.

As with any of us, I’m afraid. We’re human.

There’s always the library - I’m sure they wouldn’t mind another helping hand. Do you play any instruments?

[chasingmorning]

That's true. ...Was your dad around? If I can ask.

I like the library! That wouldn't be like work. I can play the piano. I haven't performed though. Maybe I could try sometime. That's not a bad idea.

It’s fine to ask. He wasn’t - like you I only had one parent, my mother.

I’m sure you would do fine on the piano with practice. Why don’t you see if there are any in the city? I’d certainly love to hear you play, miss.

My name is Rachel.

Sometimes I'd wonder what it would be like to have two parents. Nothing like on TV though, a long time ago I used to think that was how it was supposed to be.

...Thank you. I'll find a piano to play. And practice...if I'm good enough then I'll play for people.

I'm Shilo. Hi, Rachel.
