Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair.
Does anybody really care?
It's gettin' cold out here.
Well, I keep walkin' with my head held high,
with my head to the sky,
with my mother's eyes.
And my mother's eyes are with me
in the darkness that's been paid for.
I'm just a nameless stranger, don't know why.

Have I seen all that I could?
Have I seen more than I should
with my mother's eyes?
Have I seen all that I could?
Have I seen more than I should
with my mother's eyes?
And my mother's eyes are with me
in the chilly winds of autumn.
If I ain't here by winter, she'll know why.
I've seen all that I dare.
I've seen more than my share.
Forgive me if I stare with my mother's eyes.
Well Bette, it's been a rough year. You've lost a lot of friends. I know it's been horribly sad and boy do I feel for all of your friends. I can't imagine what this past year has been like for you and your family. This has been equally as awful for me. Probably the roughest in the forty that Laurie's been doing this to me. Your friend Jeffrey's been tougher on me this year than ever. I've never seen him less concerned for Benjamin's well being than this last year. I'm so upset with him. It's like he doesn't even consider what he's been going through. It magnifies my own life and what it is like to have people act like what has happened to us doesn't matter.
Now he is living with half of the problem. Buying her gifts? What in the world is he thinking? You can't live with the girl that is helping the girl that raped his son and not be sending the wrong message...this is the act of a crazy man. Missy has nothing good to do with Benjamin...she is discounting his life and efforts to make sense out of what has happened to him. She came to his family with the worst of intentions and has literally pushed his own family away from him. He needs the love and support of his friends. Now his dad is pushing all of us away too. I did everything I could to help Benjamin without even knowing who his family was. Now I'm haunted by his grandmother telling me to continue with his father threatening me to stop or else. I need your help. I can't live this way. I'm afraid of Jeffrey.
