  SPEAKER_00: Hello there, I'm Regina Swarne.

  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to another episode of Regina Swarne Audio Series Presidents.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: It has been one month of church.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: It just feels like it's been church with everything going on this month.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of stuff going on in the news and just a lot of things.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: And generally this month, and I'm gonna be honest, is normally a very sad month for me.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not gonna say that it hasn't had its challenges.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna say that.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: And again, I think of our conversations.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: But I recorded our last conversation, so the the last uh maybe four or five months.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, I got like 113 conversations.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: And listening to them, I'm just uh a lot of them just fill me with complete joy.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, just to hear her voice and we're laughing and we're talking and oh my god, so many great things.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Now, some of them were sad, and those are the ones that I can't listen to, that I don't want to play.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to play her regrets, I don't want to play things that she told me.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, because some things, like I said, I would take too many graves.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: And so I don't want to play those things because it's just too sad, too depressing.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: But the good outweigh the bad.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: The good outweighed the bad, and I'm so thankful to the Lord that I recorded our last conversations, you know, our last few months after our mother was late.

• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: He laid it on my heart the the speakers who he wanted me to get to speak.
• 2:53
