Realm of Possibilities

episode title mentions: season seven

He who seeks the queen of all knowledge, speak and be recognized.

Here goes. And.. This is the part I always leave out. I had missed my curfew for the second time that week, and when I got home, it was crazy late. It was like 3:00 in the morning, and my parents weren’t home. And the phone rang, and my life stopped.. My parents were killed by a drunk driver when they were out looking for me. And if they hadn’t been out looking for me, then.. We all have wounds that we want to heal. That’s why we come here every week, right? And I have to believe that, as we keep coming here, and talking and revealing, that eventually, in time, even the deepest wounds we carry will begin to heal. 

We moved around a lot when I was a kid, ‘cause of my mom’s postings. It was hard to get accepted - and when you’re fifteen, that’s all you want. You’ll do almost anything. [You got pregnant.] Yeah. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t tell my mom. Matthew suggested I talk with our priest. He said that if I had an abortion, I wasn’t welcome in his congregation. Matthew found a doctor. He took me there. He stayed with me. That Sunday, when we got back to Rome, he held my hand and walked me into the church.  Father Gamino actually stopped his sermon, but Matthew told me to hold my head up, and we walked to the front pew. [Father Gamino] and Matthew just stared at each other. It was like a battle of wills, and - and then suddenly, Father Gamino went back to his sermon.
