- [David] What are your three favorite memories we share?
- When we first got married
in Mount McGregor Correctional Facility
and we were in the chapel and when you started singing.
All of the guys that were in the chapel,
well, let me reverse.
When they knew they were getting ready to witness a wedding,
even though they all had on greens,
they tucked their shirts in and buttoned up their collars,
and then when you started to sing, they all joined in.
I thought that that was one of them first memories.
I think the second one was when we flew to Hawaii,
and that was your first time flying,
and every five minutes she was asking,
what's that, what's that?
And then they gave you your little wings
like they gave the kids, and then, when we went to eat
in the crater of an active volcano for lunch,
and they were showing through the picture windows,
where you could see the sulfur actually
coming up from the volcano.
And you didn't realize that I was bringing you
to active volcano to have lunch,
and I think that's when you really knew
that your wife was crazy. (both chuckle)
How do you describe me to others?
- Oh that's easy, well that you know.
You already know I'm your biggest fan.
So, that comes really easy to me to express to other people,
the accolades that you have succeeded
in your life, and how proud I am
of the things that you've done.

You're just one of 'em people that expires,
and I think everybody that knows that realizes
that you're always trying to empower other people.
And I think that that's one of your best attributes.
I just love you to death for that.
When are you proudest of me?
- I think I'm most proud of you when you
take out time to engage your kids.
I think, there are a lot of things that make me proud.
I think you being home
for 26 years and being at the same job,
and being an asset to the job,
and not even thinking about going back
inside anybody's jail or any institution.
Makes me proud because considering the kind of work
that I do, knowing what the recidivism rates look like,
and here is a person who has done
more than one bit away, and came home
and change was the inevitable.
And I think that I'm most proud
that you said you aren't going back, and you were determined
that, by hook or by crook, that was not going to be
on your agenda for the remaining part of your life.
And I think that that's something
that you should be proud of too,
understanding how the cards are stacked, in general.
- Well I am proud of that.
But you had a lot to do with that also.
You just gave me a different mindset,
and as far as the kids are concerned,
you always speak about how we have to build
our own relationships with the kids.
From day one, I've loved the kids as my own,
and as you know
I nicknamed the baby girl.
Because I had already accepted her
as a part of me, and all I wanted to do
from that point on was build on it,
to be the best I could be for her,
to be there for her when she needed me.
You know enough, a lot of those things I've missed
because of my incarceration period.
And I didn't have the opportunity
to raise my kids, so to speak.
When I went away, my kids were kids.
When I came home, they were adults.
And that's one of the things that I've missed most,
not being there for them,
but I still got time.
- Why do you love me?
- Let me count away. (she laughs)
I love you for you, I've always loved you for you.
Everything about you is a special quality
as far as I am concerned.
And as baby girl say,
I love you to the moon and back.
- You would think after 20 years, we wouldn't cry so much?
- Yeah, right. (she laughs)
- The only fortune is that we're on camera this time.
(she laughs)
