00:00Previously on The Shy
00:06What, you don't like the St. Louis no more?
00:09I'm pregnant. I'm happy for you.
00:11I love you.
00:12I love you too.
00:13When you left, you said, I'm gonna start my own church.
00:16I know where your bodies are buried, Pastor.
00:19And I'm willing to keep them there.
00:21Only if you welcome me back.
00:23Welcome back.
00:24I know you're eyeing the nomination for the Seventh Circuit Court.
00:28Yes.
00:28If you put him in jail and it turns out he's innocent, it'll burn you.
00:35The FBI failed to disclose critical evidence and substantially prejudiced the defendant, Victor Taylor.
00:41I am ordering that the case be dismissed.
00:44You've terrorized this city long enough.
00:47I should have known you two were conspired against me.
00:49This was all me, Mr. Big Stuff.
00:52Bianca was just a decoy.
00:54Sorry. Any last words?
00:56Fuck you.
00:58New sheriff in town, ladies.
01:02We don't work for you.
01:05Either can work together or we can be enemies.
01:07I don't give a fuck.
01:08I'm gonna be your worst fucking nightmare.
01:13Hey, y'all niggas gonna report to me now.
01:15I'm not giving you no more money and I don't work for you.
01:18Bye, nigga.
01:19I'm in charge now.
01:29Get your shit and come with me.
01:30No!
01:31I'm done.
01:32I always had your back.
01:34You like my family.
01:35I can't always trust family, nigga.
01:37You can trust me.
01:38It's me or them.
01:48Hey, Bakari.
01:50Get in the front.
01:50I'm in charge now.

02:02I'm in charge now.
02:03Oh, my God.
02:33Wake up, motherfucker.
02:34What the fuck?
02:38Did you kill my son?
02:40What?
02:41And leave his body at my doorstep?
02:44No, that wasn't me.
02:50I don't believe you.
02:52I'm in business with Rob.
02:54Why would I fuck up my money?
02:59They made the call.
03:03Why would they want to kill my son?
03:09They was arguing about something, and next thing I know, his body dropped.
03:13Arguing over what?
03:14I don't know what they was arguing about, but when I seen him, he was gone.
03:18I didn't want to throw his body in the river.
03:21I wanted you to give your son a proper barrier.
03:26Why should I believe you?
03:28That motherfucker is not a lawyer.
03:30He ain't thirsty for power.
03:32You tell me why you keep him around.
03:34I don't want him around anymore.
03:45I'm sorry about your side.
03:46Did you kill that man?
03:55No.
04:00He said it wasn't him.
04:03And you believe that nigga?
04:04Do you know Zay?
04:12I mean, I know he wanted to do this, Ronis.
04:16Nuck said Zay did it.
04:20You sure?
04:24Do you think he would do something like that?
04:30I'd do him.
04:31Bring him to me.
04:41Oh, God.
04:48I need to shower, and I need to get my head clear.
04:52Hey.
04:53Yeah?
04:56I don't mind your heart baths.
04:59Make yourself full.
05:01Please.
05:05Okay, baby.
05:10Oh, no.
05:16I have to tell Tina.
05:18Oh, no, I ain't got worried about that right now.
05:20No, I...
05:20I don't want her to find out from somebody else.
05:26Please.
05:27Let's go.
05:28Bye.
05:29Bye.
05:29Bye.
05:29Bye.
05:31Bye.
05:41Man, fuck that nigga.
05:43Zay, I don't think he demoted you.
05:46He told Bakari to get up front and told me to get in the back.
05:50Well, Bakari was there before you.
05:52He's my cousin.
05:53Well, with everything going on, I just think you should be quiet.
05:59You're telling me not to speak up for myself?
06:02I just think you need to lay low for now.
06:04I don't need to do shit.
06:06Everybody knows he killed Duda.
06:08Ain't no telling what else he's gonna do.
06:09He killed Rob, too.
06:10Why?
06:13Because Rob didn't want to pay him no more.
06:19Oh, my God.
06:22Please.
06:24Don't say anything.
06:26Nick is my family.
06:28He can't kill me.
06:29Says who?
06:30Says us.
06:31Trust me.
06:37I'm good.
06:40I hope so.
06:41What's going on?
07:06I have to tell you something.
07:11I have to tell you something.
07:41Hey, things gonna be a little different now.
08:03I'm nothing like that old-ass nigga that was in charge before me.
08:06I don't like none of that flashy shit,
08:08and I don't like making too much noise.
08:11Only thing I like doing is getting money and going to fuck home.
08:14That's it.
08:14That's all.
08:15I don't tolerate no fucking disrespect,
08:18because any one of you niggas disrespect me,
08:20I'll kill you.
08:22I don't like doing that shit,
08:24but I will if I had to.
08:25Understood?
08:26Is that shit understood?
08:28Yeah.
08:29All right.
08:29Check.
08:29Now, let's stay humble and keep a low profile.
08:32All right?
08:33Because I got a son now.
08:35Somebody to protect.
08:36My life means a lot to me.
08:39All I need y'all niggas to do
08:41is to stay loyal and keep y'all eyes open.
08:44If y'all can remain loyal to me,
08:46I will make sure every single one of y'all
08:48never go hungry.
08:49All right?
08:5063rd over everything.
08:53All right?
08:54Yeah.
08:5563rd over everything.
08:58Over everything, man.
08:59It's my shit.
09:00All right?
09:01All right.
09:01We're good.
09:04So you're really gonna be different than Duke?
09:06Hell yeah.
09:08Okay.
09:14So you're cool when you write my book?
09:16Hell yeah, man.
09:17Hey, look, just make that shit a novel,
09:19not a memo.
09:19All right?
09:20All right?
09:21All right?
09:21I can do that.
09:22All right.
09:23And I want that shit to succeed, too.
09:26You do?
09:27Hell yeah.
09:28I don't want you to be doing this shit forever.
09:30What about me?
09:32Want me to do this shit forever?
09:34Why the fuck is you late?
09:36I was with my girl.
09:37That's not more important than this.
09:39Today it was.
09:40You got a problem?
09:41Yeah, I do, actually.
09:45I want to work alongside you.
09:47Not for you.
09:49I'm not looking for no partner.
09:50I ain't looking for a new boat.
09:51So what the fuck you looking for, enemy?
09:53Hmm?
09:55Come on, man.
09:57You'll never be my enemy.
09:59You'll be my cousin.
10:03You either can work for me, or you can leave.
10:06My nigga, the door is right there.
10:08I'm not holding you.
10:09I'm not holding you.
10:10Right.
10:13That's what I thought.
10:20Be safe, eh?
10:21I'm not holding you.
10:29The person.
10:59The person who took my son will pay.
11:11Yes.
11:16Yes.
11:21The victim has been identified as Robert Lafayette, son of real estate developer and philanthropist Alicia Daniels Lafayette.
11:28This comes as a devastating loss just weeks after his father, Alonzo Daniels Lafayette, was found murdered in his vehicle.
11:36Officials have declined to comment on whether there are any connections between the two homicides.
11:41This started to hit too close to home.
11:44It's Chicago. It's always close to home.
11:49I can't believe Robert is gone.
11:52You took a shot at Duda and missed.
11:54It was only a matter of time.
11:55I can't stay here.
11:59You just moved back.
12:01Chicago.
12:02I can't stay in the city anymore.
12:05I think we should move.
12:06Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
12:07Duda's gone.
12:09The city will be different.
12:10What? Rob was shot after Duda died.
12:12So what's the difference?
12:13So where would we go?
12:14Anywhere but here.
12:15We can't run from ourselves.
12:17I'm not trying to.
12:18I just want to be safe.
12:20You're safe with me wherever we go.
12:23I don't know if that's true.
12:26All right, look.
12:27I need you to trust me.
12:29People around you keep dying.
12:30That's not my fault.
12:32I don't see you doing anything about it.
12:43Do you know something about Duda's murder?
12:50Oh, jeez.
12:52Hmm.
12:55Okay.
12:56What do you need?
12:57A new place to stay.
12:59What happened with Lene?
13:02Mm-mm.
13:05I'm not talking about that.
13:09Well, I wish I could let you stay here with me,
13:12but I can't.
13:12What you should do is enroll in school
13:20and stay on campus.
13:21Oh, I can't do that.
13:23I don't even have a bank account.
13:25There's scholarships.
13:26I ain't finished high school.
13:28I don't have transcripts, GED, attendance,
13:31none of that shit, man.
13:32Where there's a will, there's a way.
13:36Look at me.
13:37Do you want to spend the rest of your life
13:38running from death,
13:39or do you want to change your life?
13:42I had a vision of you
13:48And just like that
13:50I was left to live without it
13:54Left to live without it
13:57I found a version of love
14:01And just like that
14:03I was left to live without it
14:07Left to live without it
14:10I had a person I loved
14:14And just like that
14:28I was left to live without it
14:33Left to live without it
14:36I had a person I loved
14:38I had a person I loved
14:40And just like that
14:42I was left to live without it
14:46Waiting on this shot of the glass
14:50My daughter is lucky to have y'all
14:54in her life
14:55Thank you for being her chosen family
15:00We all we got
15:01This can't be easy for you either
15:12Girl
15:14Me and Griefer just
15:16old friends now
15:18Look
15:21You just know that you have support too
15:24Okay
15:25I always knew that this day would come
15:28I just
15:30I didn't know it was gonna feel like this
15:32Like what?
15:36Like through this
15:37Breaking my heart all over again
15:39Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom
15:56That cannot be shaken
15:58Let us be thankful
16:01And worship God with reverence
16:03And awe
16:04For our God is a consuming fire
16:07Our city's already on fire
16:09Sounds like you're fanning the flames
16:11Sometimes things need to be burned down
16:15So we can rebuild again
16:16Hmm
16:17But God is not a God of disorder
16:20But of peace
16:21Corinthians 14.33
16:23Sounds like somebody's been reading their Bible
16:26I guess so
16:27Well everyone turns to God in times of unrest
16:30They turn to their pastors too
16:32Well
16:34How can I help you?
16:37Judah had Pastor Jackson killed
16:39When he warned his congregation
16:40To stay away from him
16:41Yeah
16:42I heard about that
16:44Now it's time for you to step forward
16:49And be the voice
16:49For your community
16:51People look to the pulpit
16:52When they have nowhere else to go
16:54I'm not that kind of pastor
16:55Well maybe you need to be
16:56We will guide our congregation
16:57The way we see fit
16:58Look
16:58You've got their attention
17:00Do something with it
17:02I got a church to run
17:03A church or a business
17:04What do you want me to do?
17:10Gather the people
17:11Get them to talk
17:12Remind them to pray
17:13But make sure they know
17:15That it's better to build a bridge
17:17Than to burn it
17:18Maybe you should write the sermon
17:24Now you got it
17:28Now you got it
17:31I know where it went from
17:40I just don't want to be the only one
17:45To put it on this tree
17:48Thank you
17:49I knew this day would come
17:56So did I
17:59The funeral is tomorrow
18:03If either of you would like to attend
18:04I might
18:08I'd be there just to make sure he's dead
18:12Easy
18:14That is my husband
18:16My son is gone
18:19I could give a fuck
18:20About niceties
18:21So
18:25You're planning revenge?
18:28Aren't you?
18:32My manicure is way too expensive
18:34To be pulling triggers
18:35Besides
18:38I got a shooter for that
18:40So you don't care
18:42Who killed Duda?
18:43I'm sure whoever did it
18:47Has their reasons
18:48And I'm not trying to get caught
18:51In any crossfire
18:52If you ever need me
18:54I'm just a call away
18:56I'll keep that in mind
19:01I'm sorry for your loss
19:12I think that you should get away
19:20For a few days
19:21Take time to grieve
19:24Or grieve when the person
19:28Who killed my son is dead
19:29Tiff
19:41Turn that off
19:44You don't need to be watching that right now
19:58I can watch what I want
20:00I can watch what I want
20:00Why you want to trigger yourself
20:05I'm sorry
20:12I know
20:14Everybody's sorry
20:15Is there anything I can do for you?
20:18Bring him back
20:19I know y'all loved each other
20:27Please do not say
20:29It's better to have loved and lost
20:30Than not loved at all
20:31I wasn't gonna say that
20:33What you gonna say?
20:37I was gonna say
20:38Some people go their whole lives
20:41Without experiencing love
20:43Like y'all had
20:44So be grateful that you had it
20:46Even though now
20:48You have to grieve it
20:49Isn't it basically the same thing?
20:55It's not the same thing, girl
20:57So what does he expect you to do?
21:14Be Martin Luther King Jr.?
21:16I gotta do more than collect tides
21:17Nah, pastor
21:18We do way more than that
21:20Come on
21:20He's right
21:22We don't do a lot of community outreach
21:24Well, that's because
21:26People come to us
21:27We don't go looking out for the flock
21:29Well
21:30Now we need to go to them
21:32So
21:35Who's in charge of the extra cash flow
21:39Now that your plug is dead?
21:41His number two
21:42Do you have a relationship with him?
21:47Nah, but
21:48I need to build one
21:50I mean, do you want me to go with you?
21:53I-I-I can go
21:54I think I need to handle this myself
21:57Is everything else okay?
22:07If you're
22:08Inquiring about my marriage
22:10I suggest you
22:11Mind the business that pays you
22:13You are the business that pays me, pastor
22:16I'm figuring it out
22:21All right
22:22Well, I'm here if you ever want to talk about it
22:26I know
22:28He's tired of people asking what they can do for you
22:39Yeah
22:41Well, if you need anything
22:46At all
22:48I got you
22:49I'm worried
22:54About what?
22:58About whether or not I can really be here for EJ right now
23:01We can take him for a few days
23:04Oh, I mean full time
23:10I can't sleep
23:14I feel nauseous
23:15I just don't feel like myself
23:17I need some time
23:20Normally I would ask my mom
23:23But I don't think she can handle it
23:25I hear you
23:29We'll do it
23:33And we're gonna freak out
23:37He ain't never had none of his kids full time
23:39But anything for you
23:42For real?
23:45Yes
23:46We family
23:47It's okay
23:52What the fuck are you here to pray for me or some shit?
23:59That's what you need
24:00I got you
24:01I'm good
24:02What kind of man are you?
24:07I ain't do that
24:07That doesn't answer my question
24:11Look, I'm cool, bro
24:12We ain't gonna use your church to hire money anymore, all right?
24:16Where you gonna quit it?
24:17You know what?
24:21I might start trusting in my guys a little more
24:23And let them hold that shit for you
24:24I can't count on somebody I don't know
24:27Maybe it's time we get to know each other
24:30Now how the fuck is that gonna benefit me?
24:34It's always good to have a man of God in your corner
24:36I can believe that
24:38I'm here to make sure your path is protected
24:41Definitely need that
24:44I do spiritual advising
24:47For a lot of high-profile folks in the city
24:50It's not easy being the leader
24:52Trust me
24:54So what kind of man are you?
25:00I'm a work in progress
25:01So is God working on you?
25:04He's working on all of us
25:05It's just a matter of being obedient
25:07Not too good at that
25:10Most of us aren't
25:12So how did this work?
25:16We'll set up a time
25:17And I'll send you an invoice
25:19An invoice?
25:20Get the fuck out of here, man
25:21My guidance ain't free
25:22So how much is your guidance, Pastor?
25:27Two racks a session
25:28Two racks a session?
25:29You better make sure my ass gets to heaven
25:31Gotcha
25:37So which student is it now?
25:41Oh, sorry
25:42Um, he's more of a mentee
25:45Hmm
25:45Yeah
25:46Is this the one who wants to write the book?
25:47Yes, yes
25:49He says he wants to turn it into a novel now
25:51Oh, great
25:53Another novel about street life
25:55It's exactly what we need
25:57Baby
25:57Kids don't want to read books about worlds they don't relate to
26:01Yeah, neither did we, but we did it
26:03Yeah, and it bored me to tears
26:05But look at you now
26:06No, no
26:07Stop, stop
26:08My father and my big brothers are the reason I'm the man I am today
26:12Bakari doesn't have that
26:17Bakari
26:18Is that his real name?
26:22Now you sound like your mother
26:23What?
26:23May God rest her soul
26:24Oh, you know she didn't get into heaven
26:27With all of that gossiping and that down-talking on the middle classes she did
26:30Okay
26:32She was a little bougie
26:34But I am grateful that she pushed me

32:13Well, it's not really a favor for me
32:18It's more of an ask for my husband
32:20Go on
32:23He's been mentoring a young man
32:27Who wants to get off the street
32:28And he thinks your scholarship could help him
32:31He actually thinks it could save his life
32:34Why couldn't I save my own son's life?
32:38That wasn't your fault
32:40Yes, it was
32:41You were a good mother
32:44No
32:44I wasn't
32:46I wanted him to be like me
32:52And he just wasn't
32:53And he'd always say he was the black sheep of the family
32:55They didn't fit in with us, but
32:59Now he's gone
33:03If you help this young man
33:07It could be a way for you to
33:10Honor your son's life

37:38Okay.
38:08Lord, I ask that you cover my baby with your mercy, with all of your graciousness, God.
38:21Keep her wrapped in the blood of Jesus, because we know no weapon formed against her shall
38:30prosper.
38:33Order her steps, Lord.
38:38Feel her broken heart.
38:39Help me, Lord.
38:40Oh, help me, Lord.
38:43I need your hand of mercy.
38:48Help me, Lord.

38:53I need your hand of grace.
38:57Oh, mercy, Lord.
39:01Oh, mercy, Lord.
39:04I need your hand of grace.
39:11There are a lot of candidates who really need this scholarship.
39:15Why should I give it to you?
39:16Um, I thought my professor spoke to you.
39:20You have to speak for yourself.
39:23I don't do handouts.
39:27I had to do a lot of bad shit in my life.
39:40Not because I wanted to, but because I had to.
39:44What have you done?
39:45Why does that matter?
39:47It's all a part of your story.
39:50If you're not ready to share it, then maybe you're not ready for this opportunity.
39:57Jesus.
39:58I killed someone, but only because he took someone I love.
40:14In that case, it may have been justified.
40:18You think so?
40:21I do.
40:23Well, if you give me this scholarship, I won't disappoint you.
40:28I promise.
40:31If I give you this scholarship, you owe me your life.
40:38So am I getting you?
40:51As long as you know nothing comes for free.
40:54I do.
40:56Good.
40:57I'll be in touch.
41:02So, I hear you met with Alicia Daniels Lafayette.
41:06I don't think she liked me.
41:11Hmm.
41:13Well, you clearly left an impression because she is officially granting you the Daniels Lafayette scholarship.
41:32Is everything okay?
41:33I thought you might be more excited about this.
41:40Yeah.
41:41I am.
41:42I just wasn't expecting it to happen all so fast.
41:45You deserve it.
41:46I see you.
41:47You've been working diligently on your book.
41:49And I'm so glad you decided to get your degree.
41:51It'll open so many doors for you.
41:53Yeah.
41:57You know, I really appreciate you coming through for me, Professor G.
42:02What?
42:03What?
42:04Come on, man.
42:05I know you won't let me down.
42:07And Alicia's a great mentor to have on your side.
42:10What the fuck?
42:11I know you killed my son.
42:13It wasn't me.
42:14You're lying.
42:15You're lying.
42:16I swear on my girl's life.
42:17I ain't killed her.
42:18Well, if you didn't do it.
42:19No, no, no, please.
42:20No, no, no, no, no.
42:21Who did?
42:22I know.
42:23Who did?
42:24I know.
42:25Who did?
42:26I know.
42:27Who did?
42:28No, no, no, no, no.
42:29He was about to say something.
42:32The last time I hesitated, somebody else took my glory.
42:36Nobody's gonna avenge the death of my son to me.
42:39I know.
42:40I know.
42:41I know.
42:42I know.
42:43I know.
42:44I know.
42:45I know.
42:46I know.
42:47I know.
42:48I know.
42:49I know.
42:50I know.
42:51I know.
42:52How was that now?
42:54Him.
43:15Look, I ain't gonna hold you.
43:17You had a good time.
43:19He makes me so happy.
43:21I'm so glad y'all getting along.
43:23Ronnie needs both of y'all in his life.
43:29How's he doing?
43:30She's a bit overwhelmed.
43:33Yeah, sure.
43:35She asked if we could take EJ for a while.
43:39What's the while?
43:40I don't know.
43:43What'd you say?
43:44I said we would do it.
43:49So you get mad at me for buying Tiff a car without talking to you first.
43:52But y'all can just agree on bringing another kid in the house without talking to me?
43:56Make that make sense.
43:57He's your child.
43:58I know that.
43:59I also know we have Ronnie full-time and another baby on the way.
44:04Baby, if I love EJ,
44:07but you worrying about Tiff being overwhelmed
44:09and not thinking about the stress that comes with having two kids in the house full-time.
44:13I don't want her stressing out.
44:15But it's okay for her to be stressed.
44:19We need to support Tiff.
44:24Come on.
44:25Come on.
44:30It's a cold night in Alabama
44:35And there's a war, there's a war going on outside
44:43Alicia,
44:44I can't do this anymore.
44:55Don't act all innocent now.
44:57You knew the plan.
44:58I know.
44:59But I can't stop seeing it.
45:01I can't sleep.
45:03I can't, I can't do anything.
45:05This comes with the territory.
45:06I don't want the territory anymore.
45:09And what are you going to do?
45:11Leave?
45:14Yes.
45:16And where are you going to go?
45:19Far away from here.
45:21And what about the lounge?
45:22You can have it.
45:24I don't have the bandwidth to run the lounge.
45:27Not my problem.
45:28I'm sorry.
45:33You're weak.
45:35That's what you are.
45:37I just want peace.
45:39I hope you find it.
45:41Hey, man, where you been, bro?
46:05Just had to handle some shit for Alicia.
46:07Just make sure you're keeping your hands clean when it come to her, bro.
46:14I'd get them dirty if I had to.
46:17What's that supposed to mean?
46:20Hey, nigga, you know you can't afford to go back to jail.
46:23And I ain't about to.
46:25Yeah, okay.
46:26Because I can't afford to get you out again.
46:29I'm not going to save you, bro.
46:32You ain't got to save me, man.
46:37Hey, Farab.
46:42Yeah.
46:43Damn.
46:44Yeah, that shit is crazy.
46:46That's why we always trying to tell y'all to be careful.
46:49If it wasn't for the grace of God, it could have been one of y'all.
46:52See, that's why I just sit in the house and watch drag, Mosey.
46:55I'm just grateful to do this dead.
46:57Maybe now we can get some peace.
46:59The peace is temporary.
47:02The street's always going to have a building.
47:04Nah, it feels like we even got more to deal with.
47:06That's why I'm trying to get close with nothing.
47:08I mean, you really don't have a choice as Keisha baby daddy.
47:11You ain't got a Ramani.
47:13Boy, I know you ain't complaining.
47:15All the baby mamas you got.
47:16I know.
47:18But I'm saying she ain't got to deal with them all the time.
47:20And now EJ got to stay with us till Tiff get back on her feet.
47:22You ready for that?
47:23Hell no.
47:24Hey, I'm just glad Ronnie and EJ get to grow up together.
47:28That's something that y'all don't even have.
47:30Yeah, I guess that's true.
47:31I just know it's going to be a lot of work.
47:33Like I say, making babies is fun.
47:37Raising, hard to know, motherfucker.
47:40But it can be done.
47:45It can be done.
47:46It can be done.
47:57Say gone.
48:00What you mean he gone?
48:03Somebody took him out.
48:04What?
48:06Who?
48:07I can't say.
48:13Was it you, nigga?
48:14Hell no.
48:16I can't kill family.
48:20Why not?
48:21It's a thing I have.
48:22If we share blood,
48:24I can't take your life.
48:29So you killed Rob?
48:31I had to.
48:33That motherfucker was questioning my authority.
48:35And you made Alicia think it was Zay?
48:38What if she find out you was lying, huh?
48:39She won't, all right?
48:41Because the only nigga that knows is you.
48:58You'll be good.
48:59You hear me?
49:02I got you.
49:14Oh, no.
49:18I'm always here if you need me.
49:19Promise me you didn't kill him.
49:43I promise.
49:44All I did was hem him up a bit.
49:45Why do you feel like you have to save everybody?
49:51Yeah, you need to unpack that.
49:52Fine, I will.
49:55It's too late.
49:56What, you gonna leave me again?
50:00I can't do this.
50:01What?
50:01I can't do this.
50:02I can't be sleeping with a nigga I don't trust.
50:04You can trust me.
50:05I don't want to stay in Chicago anymore.
50:08Well, I'm not leaving.
50:09So you're gonna choose this city over me.
50:14That's what you don't get.
50:15This is more than just a city to me.
50:16This is my life.
50:19I thought I was your life.
50:24You can't be my whole life.
50:25I'm crying.
50:54I'm crying.
51:24Nothing will change, nothing will change at all
51:28Just another day, nothing's any good
51:33I have so much to do, I have to carry on
51:39I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
