“ When we went up to visit her in hospital, we would, my mom was living with her then and we basically dressed up as her and put on all her…she had all these like matching hats and outfits and gloves and stuff, like, much more elegant than we are. So we went to the hospital, dressed up really smartly to please her in all of her stuff. And I think the people working there must have thought we were nuts.”
