[music plays softly]
[girl screams]
Ok, George. I want you to take your time.
Your eyes are going to be very sensitive to the light.
Ok.
Here we go.
[chuckling] I can see!
I can see your face.
Good morning everyone, thank you for coming.
Today I'm happy to report to you that the world's first laser
artificial cornea implantation on 40 year-old George Naughton
of Denver, Colorado, was successfully completed.
Bringing him out of a 13-year darkness,
to see his wife, Elizabeth, for the very first time.
Questions?
[reporters clamoring]
Dr. Wang, is it true that multiple doctors
had declared your patient was irreversibly blind?
Yes, many.
But he had not come to me yet.
[laughing]
Dr. Wang, would you describe yourself as a miracle worker?
I derive any success that I have due to my incredible team.
Which includes Dr. Misha Bartnovsky,
Ruth Tarik and many others
dedicated to pushing the boundaries of science.
[reporters clamoring]
What?
“What?” he says.
I just thought that went very, very well.
We gave sight back to a man who has been living
for over a decade in darkness, it will never get old.
I know what we did,
I'm just saying maybe you take a moment.
A victory lap.
Ruth, next time remind me to have
the press in the room for the reveal.
That'll definitely get us more headlines.
Would you please tell the doctor that it's common practice
to punctuate our successes with periodic moments of joy?
Ah, he's the boss. He makes the calls.
Alright, I'll celebrate for all of us then.
Our pro bono office got a call from India.
A little girl, six years old.
Group of nuns found her on a road.
They said her eyes are badly damaged.
They're asking you for help. Should I set a meeting up?
Hey, look at this.
You're gonna be on the cover
of the Tennessee Herald tomorrow morning.
You may get a date out of this.
Not with that picture.
Very funny.
Should I set the meeting up with the little girl from India?
Yes, of course. Set it up.
Ok.
[soft music]
[yawns]
[car approaching]
[door closes]
[knock at door]
They're here.
Send her in.
Come on in.
This must be Kajal come to see us all the way from India.
And you must be Sister Marie.
I am.
Thank you for seeing us, Doctor.
Kajal has been studying
and practicing her English this past year.
But as you might imagine, she's a little shy about speaking it.
Yes, of course. Hello, Kajal.
You can call me Dr. Ming.
Thank you.
I have a gift for you.
[music box playing tune]
[whispering] It's a music box. Say “Thank you, Dr. Ming.”
Thank you Dr. Ming.
You're very welcome.
Thank you.
Well, left eye's gone.
Ultrasound cross section shows complete retinal detachment.
There's no chance to save it.
Similar external damage on the right eye,
but the B scan shows no retinal detachment on the right
and that's encouraging.
But barely any light perception.
Maybe one percent of vision remains.
Well, you know, it's possible
that if there's no blood, no hemorrhaging...
Considering she's only six years old,
the eyes have not had the chance to develop.
Nothing to be done here, Misha.
I'll let Ruth know on my way out, ok.
I have a 2:30 conference with the Board.
Alright.
[clears throat]
Ming did the nun tell you what happened?
No.
Apparently in India, street beggars make more money
if they're legitimately blind.
So the step mother poured sulfuric acid
in each of her eyes.
Hm.
There are complications.
Oh.
Because she is so young,
the eyes have not had a chance to form properly yet.
The left eye cannot be saved.
The right, perhaps a very slim chance.
But you are the doctor, they say,
who can work miracles. Yes?
Kajal was born in the worst slum in Calcutta.
She has traveled across the world just for a chance.
Even a slim chance.
[sighs]
[ominous tones]
[vacuum whirring]
Excuse me? Excuse me.
Yo, what's up?
A little girl.
Did you see a little girl come down here?
A little Chinese girl?
Uh...
Sorry, I uh, I thought I saw somebody come down here.
It's late. Sorry.
[vacuum whirring]
[chinese music plays softly]
[lab machines running and clicking]
Ming?
[groaning]
What's with all the homework?
Is this... This is the little girl from India?
We're going to do the surgery on Kajal.
Ok.
In that case, you've earned yourself
one hot scalding cup of coffee.
Thought you said it was impossible?
I just needed to spend more time with it.
So we do the surgery.
[sighs] -Yes.
When are you going to let me fix your eyes?
You? No thanks.
Can you call Sister Marie?
I'd like to book a surgery for Kajal right away.
Really?
Let's see what we can do.
I'm happy to hear it.
I assume you forgot what tomorrow is?
What's tomorrow?
Your brother's birthday.
I forgot.
Mmmhmm.
The latest and the greatest.
I ordered it a month ago.
Oh, you're the best. Thank you.
Don't worry.
I got myself something nice too.
I'll let Sister Marie know about the surgery.
Thank you, Ruth.
[knocking on door]
[dishes clattering]
Oh, hey, big bro.
Why do she always lock the door?
I told her a thousand times, the neighborhood is safe.
Come on dude, she's always been like that.
Happy birthday.
Did you finally remember my birthday?
Yes.
Hi hi, hi Ma.
Ming! So good to see you.
Smells good.
Oh good, we saw the press conference.
You looked too skinny.
They say the camera adds 10 pounds.
You look like you needed to add 20.
Oh, I'm ok, Ma. How about maybe just some tea?
No. I'll fix you a plate.
Front page news, son.
Dr. Ming Wang, MD PHD, Harvard and MIT graduate
received American Academy of Ophthalmology honor award.
Congratulations, but, uh,
does this mean you'll finally get a date?
[chuckles] -Oh, at least he's got a job.
I have one son who doesn't work at all
and one who works too much.
I have plans, Mother.
Speaking of, I want to run my newest idea by you, bro.
Yeah.
Alright, so you know
how there's a trash can on your computer, right?
Mmmhmm. Yep.
Alright, check it.
So, people are so into the environment nowadays,
what we're gonna do, we're gonna put a recycling bin
right next to that trash can.
What's the difference between that and the trash can?
Nothing, but, um, you feel way better about it.
[kettle whistling]
[bell dings]
Wow!
Wow!
How did you get on the waitlist?
It was no problem.
You know, I could get used to
being related to a famous doctor.
Why do you encourage him like this, Ming?
You should get him a job at your clinic.
Come help me with the cake, Ming.
We miss not seeing you around here as much, Ming.
I know.
Busy. Busy, always busy.
I know. You're going to die from exhaustion.
I just want you to be happy.
People need my help.
Here.
[karaoke machine playing “The First Cut is the Deepest”]
♪ Baby, I know, the first cut is the deepest ♪
♪ When it comes to being... ♪
[music continues in background]
They'll go all night.
Your mother worries about you.
She worries about everything.
I worry too.
I have this patient from India.
She reminds me of Lili.
[exhales]
You cannot change the past, Ming.
[water running]
God bless you, little child.
Remember, you're not going to be alone in there.
[Nurse] We're ready for her now.
Vitals look very good.
Hoping the acid injury is confined
to the anterior corneal stroma.
Crystalline lens, iris look pretty good.
Trephined the old and scared cornea.
Lifting it up now.
I mean, you should have seen her face.
Vitreous was full of blood.
There was no way to know how much damage was in there
until we opened up the eye and looked inside.
Come on. It's out of your hands.
I know, I know.
What's the solution?
What makes you think I have a solution?
'Cause you were $600,000 in debt with zero patients
and every doctor in town laughing
at the Chinese immigrant
who had the audacity to open up shop in Nashville, Tennessee.
I know what you're trying to do.
But listen, if we spend any more time on this,
and another potential surgery and fail.
Kajal could lose her right eye.
The bones around her face will stop growing.
She could be permanently disfigured.
It's not worth it. No. No more surgeries.
[acid fizzes]
[Kajal screaming]
[jazz music]
Well, let me just say that she left me
standing there by myself for half an hour, so.
So there was that.
Totally not true.
Don't listen...
Ah, there he is. The good Doctor.
My gosh, you made it.
You look terrible, professional opinion.
What are you talking about? He looks great.
Get over here, Ming. Give me a hug.
Oh, so good to see you.
Hi, June. Happy anniversary.
Thank you.
My condolences.
Yeah, I think I'll keep him around for maybe another year.
Yeah.
Is this a check?
[laughing]
Stop it.
I guess, I should tell you officially, happy 20 years.
Aw. You romantic, you.
Well, it has been a nice run.
You know how jealous I've been.
You've had a few relationship issues.
We just gotta get you back out there.
Why do I feel like you've talked to my parents?
- It's a conspiracy. - Yes.
[chuckles]
You still thinking about that little girl's surgery, huh?
There's too many risks, Misha.
And you go forward knowing that.
How do I move forward? I feel like I'm stuck.
Maybe you're a little too worried about
all of the details and the minutiae.
Maybe you're too worried about how you're going to do it
instead of focusing on what it's going to feel like
when you finally get there.
Because I do believe you're gonna get there.
First, you may need to just let go.
On that note, I'm gonna go flirt with my wife.
Come on up.
Mmmhmm.
Hey, sorry to bother you.
I... I just flew in on a business trip from Wisconsin
and this is my first time trying Asian food.
I just want a professional opinion.
Looks like good choices.
[sighs]
Great. Thank you.
Wow. I love this neon green color.
Oh, bit of a kick, though. [coughs]
Miss, excuse me, he's choking.
Do something.
In and out, sir
On the house.
Thank you.
Will he be ok?
He should be fine.
I don't know if he will eat Japanese food again.
[chuckles]
Thank you
Anle.
Ming.
Nice to meet you.
So, rough day at the office?
Something like that, yes.
Well, I'm your bartender for the evening.
So we can now engage in the very sacred ritual
where you tell me your problems, I listen,
and you spend a tenth of the price of a therapist.
Just some things in the past that I can't get over.
Who says you have to get over them?
Someone gave me really good wisdom once.
The present is made possible by the past.
Anyway...
Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you.
So you've got fibrosis transformation,
uh, proliferation...
You have, uh, EGF.
You said scarring's the problem, right?
Huh?
I know it's frustrating, I just...
The fibrosis and the scarring for Kajal
is something that could actually-
- Is impossible to fix.
[tapping on desk]
Hey. Where's your coat?
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
A few hours out of this place, think about something else,
grab a couple of beers.
I have to keep going.
No, no, no.
Come on, you gotta get out of here. Let's go.
I just want the surgery to work.
As do I, Ming.
But I'm genuinely worried about you.
You're sleeping on the couch over here.
Found three wrappers of instant noodles in the trash can.
I know you don't like instant noodles.
Come on, you need a little balance.
I'm fine.
Hey, are you seriously not gonna tell me
what's going on here?
I don't want to have this conversation, ok?
Fine. You crash and burn on your own.
I'm going out by myself.
I'm always the one
left picking the pieces up around here anyway.
Can't do any of this without me.
[clears throat]
Really?
- Misha. - No.
[clears throat]
There was this girl. Lili.
[people chattering]
There was an uprising in my hometown.
Many bad things happened.
I could never find Lili again.
There is some part of me that thinks
if I can help Kajal out of the dark..
Somehow, maybe, maybe I can help Lili out of hers.
Wherever she is...
I'm with you, Ming. We can do this.
[running footfalls]
[screaming and chaos]
[crying]
- Babies don't scar. - Babies what?
The baby in the jar, they don't scar.
Hey, hey, hey, what-
- Babies don't scar. I can't believe I didn't-
- Who's baby in jar?
No. The fluid. The placenta.
Babies do not scar in the womb.
Because of the amniotic sac, the placenta,
they have time to heal slowly.
Why do adults scar?
Uh-huh.
No, no, no, why? Why do adults scar?
Because the human body is trying to prevent infection
so it heals itself quickly, thus scarring.
Yes. And adult eyes go blind when injured, so?
The baby doesn't scar in the womb.
The amniotic sac, the placenta, oh.
Look for any previous work on the placenta
and amniotic membranes.
If we use the amniotic sac that contains the same properties
that prevent scaring on a baby in the womb,
we have a chance.
Ok, I have no idea where this came from but,
this is from Dr. Sheffer Tseng
from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
“Our lab has reintroduced the use
“of the amniotic membrane very recently.
“We're exploring whether the membrane that lines the sac
“holds the same healing power outside the womb.”
- That's it. - Uh-huh.
That's it.
That could be useful.
We'll use a contact lens
with the amniotic membrane implemented in it.
So the eye has a better chance to heal
with less scarring.
Why did you let them out of the cage?
Hey, I have to tag them. Okay. That's the idea.
I'm supposed to tag them, right?
Well, they're blind, you know. They shouldn't be so hard.
Just grab it.
Where are the others? If you want to help...
Ming? You want to help?
Make sure you tag them, right?
Yeah, I got em' tagged.
Come on.
Ok.
Here we are, live in Nashville, bottom of the fourth.
Dr. Ming Wang,
facing off against the mighty blind rabbits.
We are in control study 6771 after 89...
91 extremely positive results,
Dr. Wang on the assessment at 1:09PM.
What do you got, tag specimen?
Tag specimen number 92.
Ninety-two. Ninety-two.
Measuring now.
Looks like...
Seventy-five percent less scarring.
Seventy-five.
Seventy-five.
Misha, is this the one with the amniotic membrane contact lens?
Yes. It is.
It worked. It worked.
How do you say it worked in Mandarin?
Youxiào.
Chen what?
Youxiào.
- Chen donla... - Youxiào.
Chen donla...
[laughs] No, but yes, ok.
You're gonna help Kajal.
We are. We are.
[laughing] Youxiào.
[exhales]
Here you go.
The doctor returns.
So, what can I get you? A large side of wasabi?
No, maybe just a drink tonight.
A single malt, 12 year.
Mmmhmm.
Actually, 18.
Wow. The good stuff.
You must be celebrating.
Yes. I guess you could say things are looking up.
Thank you.
Well, to whatever it is we're celebrating, cheers.
Cheers.
I was wondering...
Maybe we could go somewhere else for some food some time?
Are you asking me on a date?
I think so.
[chuckles] [clears throat]
Well, you didn't quite stick the landing... but...
Yes.
[laughing]
[fireworks crackling]
After a lot of trial and error,
it dawned on us and other scientists that the healing
secret of a baby lies in the placenta and amniotic sac.
Then, we developed a very special delivery system
for these specific properties
called the amniotic membrane contact lens.
We then obtained two US patents.
Kajal will be the very first patient to experience
this new breakthrough technology.
We're hopeful it will restore her sight.
And now Kajal would like to say a few words.
Many people helped me come from India to America.
And Dr. Ming is working hard to help me see again.
I'm grateful to you all and to God.
[applause]
Ok, first thing you did in America.
McDonalds.
No.
[chuckles] That is so cliché!
What do you expect? I had $50 in my pocket.
I ate four Big Macs. I was very happy.
And very sick.
That's a lot of food.
Yes.
It's a lot of burgers.
A lot of burgers. It was my favorite.
Ah, they're here. Come in, come in.
These are our top students.
Ming Wang, Ji-Hong Dai and Jason Chao.
Absolutely top students.
Yes, top students.
Wonderful. The three Musketeers.
No, no Musketeers. Top students.
Right. A pleasure to meet you.
Ming Wang, I read what you said to the interviewers.
That you want to explore and master the sciences.
Especially laser physics.
Pardon. I am asking...
What is the academic load of your school?
I'm sorry, say that again.
What is uh, the, academic load of your school?
Uh, what is academic load?
The load?
Are you asking me how many credits
you need to get a degree?
Yes, yes, yes!
Ok, now the dogs are out of the gate
and tearing after that rabbit.
It's a good question.
It's a very good question.
I appreciate the determination, kid.
I think we might need some new clothes.
Uh. My parents buy this suit spent three month's salary.
And it's going to take two minutes for us
to get laughed off campus.
I spent all my money on cab ride.
Me too.
There they are! The three Musketeers.
Hi.
I see we have some work to do.
So uh, what we are doing now?
Uh, you can do whatever you want.
Are you boys hungry?
Yeah.
Let's get some pizza. My treat.
What is pizza?
So that's how you came to America?
Yes. Well, sort of, yes.
Tell me more about this little girl
that you're doing the surgery for?
Her name is Kajal. A very brave girl.
It's incredible
that you can give her the chance to see again.
She doesn't deserve to suffer anymore.
I have to succeed.
I'm sorry, I don't usually talk so much.
No, I like it.
Are you excited, Kajal?
Yes, Dr. Ming.
Ok, good.
They are going to make sure you're comfortable.
And I will see you after the surgery.
Yes.
You're very brave. Thank you.
[music plays softly]
Ok, Kajal.
Now, I'm going to take this bandage off.
And you should be able to see the light in the room.
Just open your eyes very slowly.
Do you see the light?
No.
Nothing at all, Kajal?
I can't see anything.
[sighs]
[camera shutters click]
Dr. Wang!
[reporters clamoring]
[books crashing to floor]
[liquid pouring]
[Kajal screaming]
[Lili screaming]
[voicemail] Ming, it's Misha.
Yeah, look, it was a crappy day.
I know.
Um, I'm not happy about it either.
I'm here to talk. Give me a call.
[birds chirping] [dogs barking]
[chinese music plays softly]
[Anle voicemail] It's me again.
Call me back when you get the chance. Ok?
[Mrs. Wang voicemail] Ming, we missed you
at Tuesday's dinner. Hope you're ok.
Call me back.
What is it?
Hi, Professor Scurry? Professor McNesby sent me.
He want me to show you my exam score and discuss possibly
take the MCAT before applying for medical school.
Are you Chinese?
Uh, yes.
Look, it's hard getting into medical school
here in the states, even for an American student.
But you coming from China?
Don't waste your time.
Thank you, sir.
[knocking on door]
Oh, you're here.
[birds chirping]
How 'bout some tea?
You always loved Li Bai.
“For a time, moon and shadow will be my companion,
but now, a new joy awakes with each dawn.”
I told Lili we would make it together.
Things would change.
Everything would be ok.
It's what you told us all the time.
A father's duty is to protect.
To help the children feel at peace.
Even when they do not always believe it themselves.
Ming.
The memory of Lili has been your inspiration for all these years.
It has fueled your desire to help people
come out of their darkness.
Lili wouldn't want you to stop now.
[teary] I always believed what you told me.
Alright, hello Doctor.
Good morning.
Come over here and say hi to Steve and Lynn Hendrich.
And this is Maria.
Lynn, why don't you tell him how you all met.
Uh, Steve and I were on a mission trip in Moldova.
That's when I saw Maria.
She was sitting alone on a bench while the other children played.
I introduced myself to the interpreter.
She looked up.
We want to give her a chance.
[machine clicking]
[ominous tones]
Ming?
Um, I'm going to give you the number of a doctor,
a friend of mine, [clears throat]
In Atlanta.
Not too far.
Well, we heard you were the best, Dr. Wang.
I won't be able to help you. I'm very sorry.
Give Dr. Fischer a call, he's very capable.
I keep seeing her.
Where?
Everywhere. She's everywhere.
And I don't know if she's real
or if I'm having a nervous breakdown.
I don't even know if I can perform surgery anymore!
Stop it! Stop it!
You don't say that.
Life can get a little messed up.
Things don't always make sense.
I just don't want Maria to end up like Kajal.
I understand that.
We can only do our best.
It's all we can do.
Hey, Chinaman.
What do you think you're doing here?
Shouldn't you be in a Chinese kitchen somewhere.
Make me some Kung Fu Chicken, boy.
[laughing]
[soft music]
[pages turning]
[dishwasher running]
[music continues]
Hi, I'd like to enroll in the MCAT exam study course.
Of course. Fill this out.
And the fee is $1,500. I'm not sure if you were aware.
Uh, yeah. Have it right here.
And that is why the best choice to be
the next Superman is Eminem.
What?
That's not what she was asking you.
Alright, never mind. Here's my next big idea.
You guys know how people
are just obsessed with their cats nowadays.
Yes.
Think about it. Facebook, but for cats.
Facebook for cats.
Facebook for cats.
But you're allergic to cats.
Mom, it's all digital. I don't actually need a cat.
Actually not the worst idea you've had, Yu.
[phone ringing]
Wow, the prodigal doctor.
I'm sorry I did not return any of your calls.
But I would like the chance to explain everything.
Ok.
Do you like karaoke?
I love karaoke.
Ok, how 'bout Painter's Alley, Saturday night?
Ok, see you there.
Hello, Sister.
Oh.
Thank you for coming, Doctor.
[sniffs] Ah.
Thank you for your call.
What is she doing up there?
Ah, she is praying for the other children.
Asking God to give them strength with their difficulties.
Praying for them.
This beautiful child makes them realize
how blessed they are in life.
I'm sorry I could not help her.
Oh.
I prayed for a miracle.
Insisting to God that the restoration
of Kajal's physical sight would be the miracle.
But look.
[laughing]
Look what God uses when we refuse to believe
there is no purpose.
Kajal is the miracle.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta said:
“For love to be real it must empty us of self.”
Kajal embodies this.
She has moved beyond the tragedy of her past.
And embraces the present with happiness and joy and love.
Let me go get her so she can say hello.
Thank you.
Kajal. Kajal, Dr. Ming is here to see you.
Here. Step. Step.
There we are.
Hello, Kajal.
I'm glad you came today.
I'm happy to see you smiling.
Is it a good smile?
It is the best smile.
I want to give you something.
I made this for you.
A gift for me. Thank you.
I will be praying for you.
Shall we go and say goodbye to the others, hmm?
Ok. Goodbye, Dr. Ming.
Professor!
Professor McNesby!
Hi, Ming.
I got the test result.
Well, good. Open it.
No, no, I'm too nervous.
Oh, Ming. You got nothing to be nervous about.
You prepared well.
[background conversations]
What's wrong? Did I fail?
Ming, you scored perfect 15s in the science subjects.
Oh, that's good.
I've never seen it before. Look at your ranking, Ming.
99th percentile.
Damn near perfect.
Ming, you can go to medical school wherever you want.
Johns Hopkin, Harvard, wherever.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Keep working hard.
You're gonna do great things in this world.
And after thinking more about Maria's situation,
I want to give it a try.
Keep in mind though,
the surgery holds a very limited chance of success.
But we should try our best.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Ok, Ruth.
Follow me.
Am I the only one to notice
that the lobby was conspicuously empty today?
No press?
This is all about Maria.
Ok.
How does it look?
The iris is stuck to the capsule.
I'm going to have to separate the soft tissues manually.
It's going to be a long day, everyone.
Pass me the contact lens. It's time.
I can't see anything.
Ming?
Ok, here we go.
You are with the best driver in the house, Maria.
Here she is. Hello, Maria.
Look who we have here.
How are you feeling?
Good.
Dr. Wang in front of you, Maria.
I'm going to remove your bandage.
And you're going to tell me what you can see in the room.
You have no memory of sight, so I want you to take your time.
Let your eyes adjust.
Ok. Here we go.
You should be able to see the light in the room.
I can see you.
[gasps]
Someone, give me a mirror. Ruth, find me a mirror.
I have one right here in my purse. Hold on.
Thank you.
Can you see yourself, Maria?
[laughs]
I'm so pretty.
[laughing]
[shuddered breaths] [laughter]
[laughing]
Thank you everybody for being here tonight.
I'm truly humbled to see so many familiar faces here
to support the launch
of our new foundation for sight restoration,
This would not be possible without the help of many people,
including a special little girl named Kajal
from Calcutta, India.
Who's positive energy and light is undeniable
and will continue to inspire many for years to come.
So let us celebrate her tonight
and the many brave children around the world
that this foundation hopes to help.
Thank you.
[applause]
[upbeat jazz music]
That's funny actually. I'm so happy you're all here.
[background conversations]
You've been avoiding me all night.
Hello.
Couldn't have done it without you.
I don't think that's true.
But could you have come up with a better name than...
The Eyeball Gala?
When are you going to let me fix your eyes?
You? No thanks.
Ok.
I'm very happy you came.
I'm glad to be here.
What do you think of the food?
It's not as good as McDonalds.
Can we get some after?
Can we please?
Yeah.
I know the surgery didn't work out
but look at what you've done for her.
Done for her?
She's opened my eyes.
Kajal is teaching me every day that there's more to life
than what you see.
Oh, careful.
[Maria squealing]
Do you see Casey? Look at Casey.
Can you see me?
[crying and laughing]
We hope you enjoyed "Sight."
I'm the real Dr. Ming Wang,
and everything you just saw actually did happen.
With God's grace,
our foundation has helped blind, orphaned children
like Kajal and Maria see light again.
And in the process,
these kids have also helped me,
their eye doctor,
to come out of my own darkness into light,
emotionally and spiritually.
"Sight" is about seeing beyond our pain,
as we have seen in Kajal.
She has shown us
that even when there is no light coming in from outside,
light can emanate from within.
"Sight" is about seeing beyond ourselves.
When I was motivated by my own self-interest,
I could not let go of my suffering past.
I had to open myself up to God
to find peace with my past and move on.
There is more to life than what we see.
