00:00Oh, Mr. Andrew?
00:01Hey.
00:01Hi.
00:02Elmo's going around Sesame Street checking in on everybody.
00:05So Elmo wants to know how Andrew's doing.
00:08Oh, I'm so happy to see you, Elmo.
00:09You have no idea.
00:10Elmo's happy to see you, too.
00:12I'm doing OK, you know.
00:14Yeah?
00:14Well, what's going on?
00:16Oh, I don't know.
00:18You sure you want to listen?
00:19Oh, Elmo would love to listen.
00:21Aw.
00:22I'm just thinking about my mom today.
00:25You know, she passed away not too long ago.
00:28And you know, I just miss her, miss her a lot.
00:30Oh, I'm almost really sorry to hear that, Mr. Andrew.
00:33Oh, no, it's OK.
00:34You don't have to say sorry.
00:36It's actually kind of OK to miss somebody.
00:38It is?
00:39Oh, yeah.
00:41You know, Elmo always feels really sad
00:42when he misses somebody.
00:43Oh, yeah, me too, me too.
00:46But you know, that sadness, it's kind of a gift.
00:49It's kind of a lovely thing to feel, in a way,
00:53because it means you really loved somebody
00:55when you miss them.
00:57And when I miss someone, I remember, when I miss my mom,
01:01I remember all of the cuddles I used to get from her,
01:04all of the hugs I used to get from her, just like that.
01:08And it makes me feel close to her
01:11when I miss her in a strange way.
01:13So I'm happy to have all the memories of my mom
01:16and the joy she brought me and the joy she brought
01:18my brother and my dad and everyone she ever met,
01:23everyone around her.
01:23So when I miss her, I remember, I
01:27remember it's because she made me so happy.
01:29So I can celebrate her, and I can miss her at the same time.
01:33Wow.
01:34Yeah.
01:35Elmo really loves that, Andrew.
01:36Elmo really listens really well.
01:39Elmo wants to know how people are doing,
01:42and Elmo's very happy that you shared that with him.
01:45And you know what?
01:45Elmo's going to think about and celebrate your mommy, too.
01:48Oh, Elmo.
01:49You know what?
01:50Nothing would make me happier, and nothing
01:52would make her happy, because you know what?
01:53I've got to tell you something.
01:54I've got to tell you a secret.
01:55What?
01:55What?
01:56Are you ready?
01:56Yes.
01:58Elmo is my mommy's favorite.
02:00Really?
02:01Yeah.
02:02Oh, Elmo needs a hug for that.
02:05Elmo loves you, Andrew.
02:06I love you so much, Elmo, and I always have.
02:08I always will.
02:09Yeah.
02:09And you know what?
02:10We're going to celebrate all the important and special people
02:13that you miss, too.
02:14That's right.
02:15Each and every day, all together.
