BARBARA: Hi, Jeanine, how are you?
Good. Happy Halloween, Barbara.
Happy Halloween, Jeanine.
JEANINE: I have my own desk at Sunlife.
I like to do lots of work.
And no making mistakes.
ANNETTE: When she started working, she was 19.
She's been working ever since.
I always wanted to make Jeanine as independent as possible.
She needed to know how to take care of herself.
Going to work, y'know, she's learned a lot.
They keep teaching her new skills.
She retains it, and she practices it,
I think that's gonna carry her through as she gets older.
(INDISTINCT)
ANNETTE: She emails me every single day.
She likes to be connected to me. (CHUCKLES)
Hi Chrissie, you look nice and black and white today.
Thanks, Jeanine! Are you excited
-for the Halloween party? -Yes.
ANNETTE: I tried to put as much in place,
and get as many services for her as I could.
I did a lot of advocating for Jeanine,
and I had to fight for her.
But she's come a long way. Oh, my God, it's just wonderful.
She lives in a nice group home, she's happy,
she's home here with me... a lot.
-Can I have a kiss? -Oh, of course, Jeanine.
-There you go. -Good to see you.
ANNETTE: I was sick about a month or so ago,
and she would call me and say, "Are you all better?"
I said, "I'm all better-- almost all better,"
she said, "I wanna keep you every day."
You know what that means, don't you?
JEANINE: Mom's going to the cape this Friday, Meredith.
You're coming back home, Mom?
Oh, I'm coming back home on Sunday, yes.
-I love you, Mom. -I love you too, honey.
ANNETTE: "You know, Jeanine," I said, "Someday I will die,
but that's life,
and everybody will die sometime."
There's me.
You know how old you were then?
-Five. -You were five, yeah.
What's Jeanine doing?
See, it says, "Jeanine, aged five." (CHUCKLES)
-JEANINE: She's smiling. -Yes, you were smiling.
ANNETTE: And who's this?
JEANINE: That's me and Dad on 1981 at the motel.
-I miss him, Mom. -ANNETTE: Yeah, I know.
ANNETTE: Yeah, I don't want to leave her.
Because long as I'm here, she's gonna be fine.
I swear I'm gonna live forever for her.
I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try.
It was good to see you.
Oh, it's good to see you too, thank you.
