In those final weeks, Gregor saw a change come over Etta.

In the years running up to her death, she would say things like, "Listen, there's a rolled up rug in the attic that's worth a lot of money.

Make sure that they don't, you know, cheat you out of that one." That was always kind of a sort of joke, sort of real thing.

Um, but when the actual room of death and dying was happening, that stuff didn't really come up.

It felt more like she was at peace with a lot of stuff, and a lot of the stuff she told me, she would be laying there with her eyes shut but smiling, and I'm like, "You know, Mom, what are you thinking about?" And she's just, just with her hand she would indicate that she's, like, dancing by just flowing her hand in the air.

It felt like a great death.

Do you still carry with you your mother's love? Do you feel it?

I carry her with me.

I, I don't know, like something fun.

[laughs] I don't know.

I can imagine fighting with you about the radio on a road trip.

How about that for an answer?

But you do, you do listen to Moby songs now, right?

On constant repeat, all I listen to is Moby.

Actually, I have a question for you, 'cause you get, said you were gonna take Q&A from the audience.
