1114 01:11:01.875 --> 01:11:03.292 He passed away. 1115 01:11:06.774 --> 01:11:08.357 I see. 1116 01:11:10.414 --> 01:11:12.581 I never thought I would, 1117 01:11:15.372 --> 01:11:17.789 or could open my heart again. 1118 01:11:20.963 --> 01:11:23.796 It was just so painful losing him. 1119 01:11:27.292 --> 01:11:30.792 I know exactly what you mean. 1120 01:11:34.252 --> 01:11:38.002 I myself lost someone I cared for very deeply 1121 01:11:40.174 --> 01:11:41.507 a few years ago. 1122 01:11:45.505 --> 01:11:47.338 It takes time to heal. 1123 01:11:49.972 --> 01:11:53.639 And I have a feeling I might see them again. 1124 01:12:00.143 --> 01:12:03.060 I think it made me lose my faith, 1125 01:12:05.084 --> 01:12:08.834 but I feel like I'm more on solid ground now, 1126 01:12:11.033 --> 01:12:12.950 but it's still so hard. 1127 01:12:20.661 --> 01:12:23.411 Faith is like a glass of water. 1128 01:12:27.263 --> 01:12:31.383 When you're younger the glass is little, 1129 01:12:31.383 --> 01:12:34.300 so it's more empty, easier to fill, 1130 01:12:39.671 --> 01:12:43.338 but as you get older, the glass gets bigger. 1131 01:12:46.461 --> 01:12:51.128 The same amount of liquid will no longer fill the glass. 1132 01:12:52.164 --> 01:12:54.581 The glass has to be refilled. 1133 01:12:58.204 --> 01:13:01.804 Why does that sound so familiar?
