    the top but just a little
  • 00:02:22
    like many Americans millions have a
  • 00:02:24
    somewhat romantic view of the UK when I
  • 00:02:27
    think of the the UK the first thing I
  • 00:02:30
    think of is the queen of course I think
  • 00:02:32
    of the fabulous 16 pounds of tights so
  • 00:02:37
    I'm looking forward to a 16 ounce pint
  • 00:02:40
    of ale but if annamaria also have a more
  • 00:02:43
    serious motive for visiting their twin
  • 00:02:45
    town we support diversity support and in
  • 00:02:50
    the multicultural background
  • 00:02:52
    Chicago is a segregated City it's got
  • 00:02:55
    pockets I don't like that about Chicago
  • 00:02:57
    and we want to expose him to every
  • 00:03:00
    ethnicity on this planet as as we can
  • 00:03:04
    the Aryans are heading to the right
  • 00:03:06
    place Chicago's twin town fermium is one
  • 00:03:09
    of the most culturally diverse in the UK
  • 00:03:11
    and even though the Queen doesn't live
  • 00:03:13
    here there are plenty of
  • 00:03:14
    quintessentially British crown jewels
  • 00:03:17
    for visitors to admire the Stevenson
  • 00:03:20
    family have live in the West Midlands
  • 00:03:22

    them you know fits the role I think this
  • 00:11:27
    is really gonna help him understand
  • 00:11:29

  • 00:11:35
    [Music]

    there's a very high high rate of people
  • 00:13:17
    who have been formerly incarcerated oh
  • 00:13:19
    oh do you work or live around
  • 00:13:22
    communities that have higher rates of
  • 00:13:24
    incarceration issue no not particularly
  • 00:13:27
    well I suppose Birmingham does it have
  • 00:13:30
    its own communities like this
  • 00:13:31
    not particularly twin with religion if
  • 00:13:35
    you know Sammy and that's me sweet
  • 00:13:37
    beginnings is an innovative scheme
  • 00:13:39
    designed to get ex-offenders back to
  • 00:13:42
    work alongside some small but very
  • 00:13:44
    industrious colleagues these former
  • 00:13:46
    criminals care for a colony of urban
  • 00:13:49
    bees producing honey and cosmetics that
  • 00:13:51
    are sold around the city productive
  • 00:13:56
    force you know it's something different
  • 00:13:58
    when I was released from prison that has
  • 00:14:00
    made this is that I won't do something
  • 00:14:01
    that's good or otherwise what I used to
  • 00:14:03
    do so the Easter day you commit a lot of
  • 00:14:06
    crime this at this point in my life I'm
  • 00:14:10
    this I do some different that's great
  • 00:14:17
    yeah and I'm 39 now so I'm given two
  • 00:14:21
    I've given away a lot of my life to
  • 00:14:22
    schools
  • 00:14:23
    yeah and I got kids I got a 24 year old
  • 00:14:26
    son a 17 you're doing and 14 you're safe
  • 00:14:28
    mr. lot of that life for a mystery
  • 00:14:30
    trying yeah right and you know actually
  • 00:14:32
    this last a conservation idea wit my saw
  • 00:14:35
    so I got a van had that feel
  • 00:14:38
    yeah to wake up one morning and look at
  • 00:14:40
    the next market see your child yeah well
  • 00:14:42
    that's not me this is nothing something
  • 00:14:44
    different you don't wanna keep passing
  • 00:14:46
    aren't there that this Resource Center
  • 00:14:48
    works with people that are ex-offenders
  • 00:14:52
    and I didn't quite know how I felt about
  • 00:14:55
    that I mean everyone's made a mistake in
  • 00:14:56
    their life you know it just happens that
  • 00:14:58
    these people probably got caught for it
  • 00:15:01
    so you know they're not all bad are they
  • 00:15:03
    they're just normal guys and they want
  • 00:15:05
    to make a change they're looking forward
  • 00:15:06
    not back I've been to prison four times
  • 00:15:08
    and I just somewhere along that line I
  • 00:15:12
    just lost hope
  • 00:15:13
    yeah I never I've never been employed
  • 00:15:15
    never been employed this is my first
  • 00:15:17
    real jobs crazy you know so and I feel
  • 00:15:21
    good about myself
  • 00:15:22
    yeah like I see this yeah you know let's
  • 00:15:24
    get like a citizen this program helped
  • 00:15:27
    me a lot that's great No
  • 00:15:30
    I learned a lot about myself
  • 00:15:33
    so it's a really good place though it's
  • 00:15:35
    really good sit watch that there's
  • 00:15:38
    that's much that they you're right
  • 00:15:53
    this shows that a lot of people give
  • 00:15:56
    back to the community that they live in
  • 00:15:58
    and Vicky myself don't particularly give
  • 00:16:01
    back to the community that we live in I
  • 00:16:03
    mean perhaps we should perhaps we need
  • 00:16:06
    to think about something like that
  • 00:16:09
    meanwhile back in fermium hard-working
  • 00:16:12
    mom Maria her in house for once got some
  • 00:16:14
    time on her hands
  • 00:16:15
    so she's taken them to a nail bar for a
  • 00:16:18
    spot of TLC I know there's gotta be work
  • 00:16:20
    because I haven't had any pampering in a
  • 00:16:22
    long long long time and why is that so
  • 00:16:25
    many kids nice life in family and mom
  • 00:16:31
    had been ill for the last couple of
  • 00:16:32
    years and take care of my grandmother
  • 00:16:34
    and my dad is the element all is is ill
  • 00:16:37
    so mm-hmm
  • 00:16:38
    that along with an 8 year old little boy
  • 00:16:40
    who loved Wow as a budding acting career
  • 00:16:43
    it's a really full time job you really
  • 00:16:46
    have got your hands for me yes ma'am
  • 00:16:49
    she's just a really nice warm genuine
  • 00:16:52
    woman you don't really be that many
  • 00:16:55
    genuine people you know you meet a few
  • 00:16:58
    and when you do you give back it's very
  • 00:17:01
    very important that you take care of
  • 00:17:03
    yourself fine time for you that's
  • 00:17:06
    something know that I will have to try
  • 00:17:08
    to incorporate yeah it's kind of a
  • 00:17:12
    little foreign to me because I'm so used
  • 00:17:13
    to taking care of my jam yes
  • 00:17:15
    you know it's been the family and friend
  • 00:17:17
    well look at the end of the way okay if
  • 00:17:19
    you're not fit and healthy then you
  • 00:17:21
    can't look after your family right and
  • 00:17:23
    if you don't take care of yourself you
  • 00:17:24
    can't do that right so you have to take
  • 00:17:27
    care yourself yes yes okay I
  • 00:17:30
    just gonna have to learn to take that
  • 00:17:31
    advice have some major lessons to learn
  • 00:17:33
    and I'm gonna try to incorporate them on
  • 00:17:35
    my trip back home
  • 00:17:37
    unsurprisingly Maria has a close-knit
  • 00:17:40
    group of friends back in Chicago eager
  • 00:17:43
    to learn more about the British Way of
  • 00:17:44
    life they've invited career-driven
  • 00:17:46
    Brummie Vicky Stephenson to one of their
  • 00:17:48
    regular girls nights in before I came to
  • 00:17:54
    Chicago my perception of people were
  • 00:17:57
    we're going to be mainly Botox nose jobs
  • 00:18:01
    cosmetic surgery perfect boobs bum lips
  • 00:18:04
    but I've got to say I've been proven
  • 00:18:07
    wrong in Chicago it's not like that at
  • 00:18:09
    all in fact I feel like the blonde bimbo
  • 00:18:12
    their perception of America you guys
  • 00:18:15
    have like Jerry Springer and I don't
  • 00:18:18
    know TV
  • 00:18:19
    I don't read newspapers and I don't
  • 00:18:21
    watch the news what do you do I work you
  • 00:18:25
    work work so like if you work so much
  • 00:18:31
    how much time do you get the signature
  • 00:18:33
    sign when breath Cisco will go out to
  • 00:18:35
    work when he comes home from school
  • 00:18:36
    we're not there okay who's there with
  • 00:18:38
    them babysitter okay unless we have a
  • 00:18:41
    tour and then it's like two weeks at a
  • 00:18:42
    time and then a Sunday it's always a day
  • 00:18:45
    of family I was really surprised when
  • 00:18:47
    the key was talking about not being able
  • 00:18:49
    to spend time with her son I'm not
  • 00:18:51
    judging anything but it's just a bit odd
  • 00:18:54
    to me that a mother at least in time
  • 00:18:57
    with her son one day a week described
  • 00:19:00
    areas like she's very fortunate she can
  • 00:19:04
    spend time with Junior Seau and she can
  • 00:19:09
    entertain guests when she feels like it
  • 00:19:12
    hang out house yeah and that's really
  • 00:19:16
    nice I've always thought in the back of
  • 00:19:19
    my mind in an ideal world I'd love to be
  • 00:19:21
    a housewife
  • 00:19:22
    I'm fed up for juggling that with that
  • 00:19:24
    trying to find a babysitter trying to be
  • 00:19:27
    so nice to just wake up in the morning I
  • 00:19:29
    think everything sorted and I'm gonna
  • 00:19:30
    deal with Bradley the washing the iron
  • 00:19:33
    in and
  • 00:19:34
    just the day-to-day running of the house
  • 00:19:35
    thanks girls a fellow in came to
  • 00:19:40
    Birmingham determined to absorb as much
  • 00:19:42
    English culture as possible and culture
  • 00:19:45
    doesn't get much more English than the
  • 00:19:47
    sound of leather on willow today we're
  • 00:19:49
    gonna teach you about the quintessential
  • 00:19:51
    English game of cricket okay so
  • 00:19:53
    hopefully I have some fun and realize
  • 00:19:55
    that you know it's a bit different for
  • 00:19:57
    baseball
  • 00:19:58
    I've watched a little bit on TV and a
  • 00:19:59
    kid looks very interesting and then wow
  • 00:20:01
    I'm will alow local cricketers Gavin and
  • 00:20:04
    Stuart will begin by giving the American
  • 00:20:07
    an important lesson in ball control the
  • 00:20:10
    first and most important piece of
  • 00:20:11
    equipment the box why when you're facing
  • 00:20:15
    someone who can hit you at 90 miles an
  • 00:20:16
    hour in their private regions you need
  • 00:20:19
    this I hope it's big enough for you it's
  • 00:20:21
    English size and make it look easy the
  • 00:20:24
    considerate twins still seem to be
  • 00:20:26
    concerned about themselves crown jewels
  • 00:20:28
    so begin with some gentle underarms keep
  • 00:20:31
    watching that ball well it's exciting
  • 00:20:45
    I'm finding a tad bit of a challenge I'm
  • 00:20:47
    not used to hold enough piece of wood in
  • 00:20:49
    that manner now they're gonna get into a
  • 00:20:51
    a little more of a real-life situation
  • 00:20:54
    here way out there yeah a little bit of
  • 00:20:57
    pace up we've stepped up a little bit
  • 00:21:00
    okay running gap
  • 00:21:06
    right sure so for come on Caffrey doing
  • 00:21:10
    knock him over that's it
  • 00:21:12
    I can't have a Yank getting away with it
  • 00:21:14
    yeah I know you're coming with in there
  • 00:21:15
    I know I'm coming for you baby I know
  • 00:21:19
    you are come on with yeah yeah yeah hey
  • 00:21:31
    it's both strike I'm really getting into
  • 00:21:34
    this yeah yeah yeah cuz I'm gonna go
  • 00:21:35
    back and show the boys how it's done
  • 00:21:40
    Fairplay he showed some bottle didn't
  • 00:21:42
    get him out so plaudits to him I've
  • 00:21:47
    discussed it it's been a humbling
  • 00:21:52
    experience for the Brits and their
  • 00:21:54
    misery is only brought to an end when
  • 00:21:55
    the American novice picks up an injury
  • 00:21:57
    got a little war injury there that was
  • 00:22:00
    pretty nasty that's part of the game
  • 00:22:02
    it's party to sport so now I feel
  • 00:22:04
    official I can go back to Chicago and
  • 00:22:10
    have my buds over and we can watch the
  • 00:22:12
    game and I can be a bit of a show-off
  • 00:22:13
    and tell them about the game and how the
  • 00:22:15
    game is played and maybe who knows
  • 00:22:17
    encouraged them to play so you bust my
  • 00:22:19
    cherry I was a virgin not for me a
  • 00:22:21
    proper in Birmingham a fellow in from
  • 00:22:26
    Chicago is about to get his first
  • 00:22:27
    experience of the NHS he injured his
  • 00:22:30
    thumb playing cricket yesterday so these
  • 00:22:32
    are route to the Good Hope hospital to
  • 00:22:34
    see if it's life-threatening
  • 00:22:38
    I don't know a lot about the medical
  • 00:22:41
    system here but back home you pay for it
  • 00:22:44
    if you have insurance you're fortunate
  • 00:22:45
    and insurance cost a lot you pay for and
  • 00:22:48
    if you don't have insurance then you're
  • 00:22:50
    in big trouble if I were back home right
  • 00:22:52
    now I injured myself and didn't have
  • 00:22:54
    insurance I would more likely not go to
  • 00:22:57
    seek out medical treatment just because
  • 00:22:59
    of the fact that I I know I can't pay
  • 00:23:01
    for it I know I'll be all day I don't
  • 00:23:08
    think it's broken it's always a pleasure
  • 00:23:19
    to follow a pretty lady moments later
  • 00:23:22
    the silver-tongued American is lighting
  • 00:23:24
    up the x-ray department hi how are you
  • 00:23:27
    okay
  • 00:23:29
    you're quite a pretty lady I must say is
  • 00:23:31
    that okay to say that you all girls are
  • 00:23:36
    just so beautiful my goodness yes yes
  • 00:23:39
    yes as I'm looking around the x-ray room
  • 00:23:42
    I noticed these things called uh don't
  • 00:23:44
    add shields and hadn't seen those
  • 00:23:47
    stateside maybe there's a reason why I
  • 00:23:49
    haven't seen them and as I read further
  • 00:23:51
    on they protect the gonads doing x-ray
  • 00:23:53
    so that's interesting I'll keep that in
  • 00:23:55
    mind when I get back that part right
  • 00:23:57
    there okay yeah I say so it's broken
  • 00:24:08
    experience has been wonderful this
  • 00:24:11
    health care system is wonderful it has a
  • 00:24:14
    lot and maybe we over in America could
  • 00:24:16
    emulate how things have done here
  • 00:24:19
    Chicago yes and I'm here visiting and
  • 00:24:23
    unfortunately I had a nasty little
  • 00:24:24
    injury playing cricket yesterday and the
  • 00:24:27
    health care here has been phenomenal
  • 00:24:29
    right in the world so thank you so much

    yeah is it nice spending time with us oh
  • 00:28:36
    boy we got a big Anan the right folks
  • 00:28:39
    that is the Sears Tower because we're
  • 00:28:43
    spending more quality time with Brad
  • 00:28:44
    like I didn't know that Brad knew that
  • 00:28:46
    the biggest skyscraper was in Dubois you
  • 00:28:50
    know you know and he just came out with
  • 00:28:52
    that I'm like wow he's great at school
  • 00:28:54
    but it's really nice that he interacts
  • 00:28:56
    with us about things and and historical
  • 00:28:58
    events enough you know architecture and
  • 00:29:01
    places of interest he knows quite a lot
  • 00:29:04
    of stuff proud of you it's virtually
  • 00:29:11
    impossible to to compare Chicago with
  • 00:29:15
    Birmingham because Birmingham have got a
  • 00:29:16
    few big buildings here and there a few
  • 00:29:18
    nice hotels but to go on that tour we've
  • 00:29:22
    just been on it really outlines a
  • 00:29:25
    complete difference between the two
  • 00:29:26
    cities this is magnificent back in the
  • 00:29:33
    UK
  • 00:29:33
    FL and Maria are being treated to a
  • 00:29:36
    Birmingham tradition two of the
  • 00:29:38
    Stevenson's colleagues from the theatre
  • 00:29:39
    company have brought them to the
  • 00:29:41
    legendary Bolton built home to over
  • 00:29:43
    fifty curry houses but before they get
  • 00:29:46
    stuck in FL asked that they observe a
  • 00:29:48
    tradition of his own
  • 00:29:52
    with almond hands please would we do
  • 00:29:55
    this let us bow our heads Heavenly
  • 00:29:58
    Father thank you for this opportunity to
  • 00:29:59
    be here with new friends on a new
  • 00:30:01
    adventure grace isn't something that
  • 00:30:03
    I've done since I was a school and it's
  • 00:30:04
    made me sort of when he asked if we
  • 00:30:06
    could all hold hands I was a bit like oh
  • 00:30:07
    my god this is weird
  • 00:30:09
    thank you for the opportunity to grow
  • 00:30:11
    and to learn in his name we say Amen
  • 00:30:14
    thank you not coming from a mega
  • 00:30:16
    religious background it's not something
  • 00:30:18
    that we do you know on a Sunday lunch
  • 00:30:19
    just sit around the table and say grace
  • 00:30:20
    but yeah it was really nice really nice
  • 00:30:27
    I'm very glad that we're here for my had
  • 00:30:31
    come on my own I wouldn't have found
  • 00:30:33
    this place I wouldn't have even made it
  • 00:30:34
    to this part of town so this has been uh
  • 00:30:37
    big ups for me big ups wait stepping
  • 00:30:40
    into and like Nahanni populist Asian
  • 00:30:42
    community and comparisons what it's like
  • 00:30:43
    in Chicago as a black man you know in
  • 00:30:46
    Chicago when I go about I am always
  • 00:30:51
    curious to how I will be treated yeah
  • 00:30:53
    you know I have this internal radar you
  • 00:30:56
    know is the food gonna be laid are they
  • 00:30:58
    gonna delay my order is they gonna feed
  • 00:31:01
    everyone else before they serve me
  • 00:31:02
    because you're black because black and I
  • 00:31:07
    gotta tell you since I've been here I
  • 00:31:11
    didn't know that I'm black and I'm
  • 00:31:14
    treated as a man as opposed to as a
  • 00:31:18
    black man and it feels good yeah the
  • 00:31:22
    whole time you've been here in
  • 00:31:23
    Birmingham we've seen so many different
  • 00:31:24
    types of cultures but everybody blends
  • 00:31:26
    in even though this might be in
  • 00:31:28
    different neighborhoods or whatever but
  • 00:31:29
    everybody seems to fit really well it's
  • 00:31:32
    bringing out so many emotions that
  • 00:31:39
    my son would actually be in the world he
  • 00:31:43
    is not judged by its color but the
  • 00:31:46
    content of his character
  • 00:31:49
    you know to be out of that fishbone to
  • 00:31:51
    another fish bowl is quite refreshing
  • 00:31:54
    their like I drink to that yeah he's got
  • 00:31:57
    really emotional when we're talking
  • 00:31:58
    about how welcoming we all are over here
  • 00:32:00
    and to me it sort of seems odd that he
  • 00:32:03
    feels segregated in his own mind when we
  • 00:32:07
    sort of welcome people with open open
  • 00:32:08
    arms over here
  • 00:32:09
    I mean I'm waiting for that moment you
  • 00:32:11
    know gay I know it's coming wait for it
  • 00:32:12
    wait for it where is it and it's it's
  • 00:32:15
    not here my husband is a very emotional
  • 00:32:17
    man and he feels real deeply about a lot
  • 00:32:19
    of things and I guess he's learned a lot
  • 00:32:21
    about himself and it's a wonderful
  • 00:32:22
    experience for my child to see because
  • 00:32:24
    right now he sees the world colourless
  • 00:32:26
    and I want him to continue to see life
  • 00:32:30
    that way and this this has been a
  • 00:32:31
    wonderful experience for all of us to UM
  • 00:32:33
    you know to kind of come here and see
  • 00:32:35
    things outside of our little box so in
  • 00:32:39
    my own self-discovery
  • 00:32:41
    you know maybe it's my prejudice I'm
  • 00:32:45
    growing I'm being exposed to a much
  • 00:32:48
    bigger part of the world and at the part
  • 00:32:51
    of the world that I know is just quite
  • 00:32:52
    small the Catholic faith plays an
  • 00:32:59
    important role in the lives of the alien
  • 00:33:01
    family from Chicago in an attempt to
  • 00:33:04
    understand why the agnostic Stephenson's
  • 00:33:07
    from Birmingham are attending Mass at
  • 00:33:09
    the Owens local church
  • 00:33:12
    time we go to churches funerals when
  • 00:33:16
    keys where did our one Christmas
  • 00:33:19
    christened maybe a today I need to I
  • 00:33:27
    need to see something to make me believe
  • 00:33:29
    and if I get touched today I'll come out
  • 00:33:31
    and say I've been touched by the Lord's
  • 00:33:32
    that's great but I've never seen Jesus
  • 00:33:36
    Vicky shouldn't feel too hard done by
  • 00:33:39
    Jesus Christ doesn't often do personal
  • 00:33:41
    appearances but in this church at least
  • 00:33:43
    he's still back in them in
  • 00:33:48
    [Music]
  • 00:33:50
    Oh No we arrived and they give you the
  • 00:33:56
    leaflet and I had to look through and
  • 00:33:59
    suddenly I saw a prayer which was
  • 00:34:03
    dedicated to fathers not to fathers
  • 00:34:06
    they've passed they just just got me I
  • 00:34:10
    didn't think for one minute that I would
  • 00:34:13
    cry
  • 00:34:15
    about my dad because you think you're
  • 00:34:18
    over things but it was the it was the
  • 00:34:20
    prayer now the Lord hasn't touched me
  • 00:34:23
    but I think that the fact that I'm still
  • 00:34:26
    grieving for my father did
  • 00:34:28
    [Music]
  • 00:34:33
    the singing and the atmosphere the
  • 00:34:36
    community spirit in here is amazing and
  • 00:34:39
    you just had to get into it
  • 00:34:48
    back in the UK you know you come in you
  • 00:34:51
    have the service which is quite dreary
  • 00:34:52
    and then you leave but here it's so
  • 00:34:54
    community driven and after the service
  • 00:34:56
    you sit around and have a chat and get
  • 00:34:59
    to know each other
  • 00:35:00
    Church is definitely better over here in
  • 00:35:04
    the UK definitely the Owen family came
  • 00:35:08
    to Birmingham determined to soak up as
  • 00:35:10
    much culture as possible today they're
  • 00:35:13
    visiting nearby Tamworth castle where
  • 00:35:15

  • 00:37:03
    Birmingham and Chicago over in the Windy
  • 00:37:06
    City young Brad steals and he's learning
  • 00:37:08

    him his parents busy work schedules mean

    Brad can't always count on their support
  • 00:37:39
    at his sporting endeavors I think my mom
  • 00:37:41
    would like to spend more time with me
  • 00:37:43
    but but she really can't because the
  • 00:37:46
    work is like 24/7
  • 00:37:48
    but Vic is not working this week so
  • 00:37:51
    she's finally getting a chance to see
  • 00:37:52
    Brad in action
  • 00:37:55
    I'm here because sometimes on the
  • 00:37:58
    Saturday when he's actually playing
  • 00:37:59
    football practice I've just got back
  • 00:38:02
    from the gig so I can always make it
  • 00:38:03
    still really well by the looks of it
  • 00:38:05
    yeah
  • 00:38:06
    Vicky's not seen anything yet Brad is
  • 00:38:09
    about to unleash his new signature move
  • 00:38:12
    you see the fate
  • 00:38:20
    [Music]
  • 00:38:32
    [Music]
  • 00:38:34
    [Applause]
  • 00:38:36
    [Music]
  • 00:38:38
    proud history as I have always but yeah
  • 00:38:41
    that was really good that he got in
  • 00:38:43
    there and really got in and gotta go
  • 00:38:46
    yeah he looked like he was a bit of a
  • 00:38:48
    natural if I say so myself Yorkers you
  • 00:38:51
    this looks a good job today all right
  • 00:38:52
    coach woods and I wanted to give you a
  • 00:38:54
    game ball to say thanks for coming out
  • 00:38:57
    and playing with us and uh you know hope
  • 00:38:59
    you were picking up as a sports my
  • 00:39:02
    experience here in Chicago has made me
  • 00:39:04
    actually think you know what I'd love
  • 00:39:06
    six months off and just do full-time mum
  • 00:39:08
    and that's it
  • 00:39:11
    it's the Stevenson's last evening in
  • 00:39:14
    Chicago so they're taking one final
  • 00:39:17
    family outing to the top of America's
  • 00:39:19
    tallest building the Willis Tower we
  • 00:39:22
    want you to come to Chicago on this
  • 00:39:24
    opportunity mainly in in my mind to
  • 00:39:28
    bring Brad to America because it's it's
  • 00:39:32
    it's okay sitting at home reading about
  • 00:39:34
    America but there's nothing better than
  • 00:39:35
    coming here and seeing for yourself I
  • 00:39:37
    didn't think it was gonna be as pretty
  • 00:39:39
    as it is it's really nice and then we
  • 00:39:42
    got you know submerged in an
  • 00:39:44
    african-american community the people
  • 00:39:46
    are great
  • 00:39:50
    Brad's growing up from is going from a
  • 00:39:53
    boy to a man and I've been finding that
  • 00:39:56
    quite difficult working at the same time
  • 00:39:59
    but this week I have got to know him
  • 00:40:01
    more yeah I've enjoyed spending a lot
  • 00:40:03
    more time with mom this week but because
  • 00:40:05
    we never really get to do it at home
  • 00:40:07
    because it's always like working quite a
  • 00:40:09
    lot I think with everybody family is
  • 00:40:12
    important you know my family
  • 00:40:14
    Greg me and Brad as a unit that's that's
  • 00:40:18
    all I live for and that's why I have to
  • 00:40:19
    work I mean we do spend a lot of time
  • 00:40:22
    together but it's always not quality
  • 00:40:26
    time I think you know my I love my job
  • 00:40:28
    and it's my passion but at the end of
  • 00:40:30
    the day the family unit has to be a
  • 00:40:32
    successful and happy one
  • 00:40:34
    [Music]
  • 00:40:40

    going spare I'm normally a giver and
  • 00:41:02
    this trip has taught me how to receive
  • 00:41:04
    it's allowed me to slow down my husband
  • 00:41:07
    says he thinks he found his old wife
  • 00:41:09
    back again because I've been able to you
  • 00:41:11

    with me that I find some kind of way to
  • 00:41:26
