The deepest impression is when Mason went to college and was about to move out of his dorm.
Mom: You know what I'm realising? My life is just going to go.
Like that. This series of milestones. Getting married. Having kids. Getting divorced. The time that we thought you were dyslexic. When I taught you how to ride a bike. Getting divorced... again.

Just go, and leave my picture!
Mason: Aren't you jumping ahead by, like, 40 years or something?
Mom: I just thought there would be more.
