00:02 After mom passed, I thought I couldn't
00:04 stay here for another second.
00:05 Your house was always the brightest on the block.
00:08 OK, mom.
00:09 Please give me a sign.
00:10 Mom left me something in the worry box.
00:13 OK, I'll do one thing.
00:15 Oh.
00:16 I'm sorry.
00:17 I'm Noah, by the way.
00:18 Emily, what I need are love-filled Christmas stories.
00:22 She's basically handing me a full-time staff position
00:24 if I could get it right.
00:25 And I met this guy.
00:27 He is a journalist.
00:28 He's super cute.
00:30 I think it's fate.
00:31 I love her "Rom-Com" Christmas story.
00:33 I think she knew I'd be heartbroken without her,
00:35 so the list is her way of making me do stuff
00:37 to distract me from my sadness.
00:39 Well, then there's only one thing to do.
00:41 Complete every item on that list.
00:43 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:44 You know, this would be great material for that article
00:46 you have to write.
00:47 Did you bring me here to work a story?
00:48 It's good to look at things from a different perspective.
00:50 The Christmas checklist has gone viral.
00:52 I linked the hashtag to your article, and it's blowing up.
00:54 Can you honestly tell me that you
00:56 don't see the impact of this gift your mom gave you?
00:59 I do see it.
00:59 And the more I see it, the more I see her.
01:01 There's strength in being happy and in being sad.
01:04 I saw him kissing another woman.
01:06 Maybe you should give him the benefit of the doubt
01:08 and allow him to explain himself.
01:09 I'm going back to Seattle and getting on with my life.
01:12 I write because it's the only way
01:13 that I can say how I truly feel about something, which
01:16 is why I wrote about you.
01:17 Love is the legacy my mom left for me.
01:20 I hope I can be a part of it.
01:21 You already are.
01:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:25 In the place that still believes.
