- This is Raef.

- [Fray] Oh- - [Raef] Hello.

[Fray] Hey sport, nice to meet you.

- Fray.

Yeah.

[Raef] What's your name?

[Fray] Fray.

Yeah.

- Then I got a call, my stepfather, your grandpa, Fray, he'd had a fall.

He was just getting in the car and his leg gave out.

Somehow Fray knew it was ALS.

A neurological disease with no cure.

And he'd only have a few months to live.

All this time making this for you, I thought I was making a story about race, about identity, about family and fatherhood, about America and our broken family that needs to reconcile if we hope to survive.

(soft wind instruments) And it was, and it is about all those things.

But ultimately, it was about facing my father's death.

(papers flipping) And what my big sister, Travisten, taught me is we don't run from fear.

I was about to repeat the same thing that I did when my dad was sick, which is I ran and instead of running away, I ran to it.

(small plane engine) (footsteps on wet pavement) (door creaking open) - He's back.

(laughing) Hello.

- Hello.

Hey Fray.

(laughing) [Voiceover] He knew that by filming his last months on earth, he would be able to share something more intimate and more vulnerable than we're used to seeing.

[Background chatter] Yeah, so if you were talking to Fray... [Voiceover] Fray hoped that in sharing this with you, there might be something here to help us all with our journey in this world.

- You have to put it together.

Yeah.

Like you, you just, like this.

And then he looks at you, you cite the, you say the letters like, like if he looked here, I'd say A, B, C. And then it's when you hit the letter.

He says yes.

- Ah.

- Like this.

- So you go really... - You write it down.

Cause it's hard to remember.

- Letter to letter.

- It's letter to letter.

We're working on something more high tech.

- Yes, but- - It's gonna be a while.

- He says, we get our powers like this.

- That's hilarious.

(Fray laughing) - The Fray whisper.

- Uh, G?

H?

- Ah, both.

- Oh, ocean and mountains, both, yes.

(laughing) Of course.

Yes, you have both.

- That was good, Shakur.

- Unbelievable.

- You've taught me many lessons but you know what a really good one you taught me is?

You more than anyone I know, found a way to work enough to, to maintain yourself but to have a more rounded life where you can do your, your practice and to make yourself ask questions and to improve and to make yourself a better person.

(kissing sounds) That's how we do our kisses.

I love his kisses.

They're so good.

(laughing) They're very small, but they're very significant.

Are you cold?

You wanna go back in now?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's do it.

No?

Oh, you wanna say something?

All right.

Back on the scene.

T, U, V. We live, yeah.

New word.

M, N, O, P, Q, R. M. We live simply?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know.

(fumbling of electronics) (tape ripping) - Thirty years and three months.

- Thirty years and three months?

- Yep.

- Is that your longest relationship?

- Uh, yes.

It's definitely his, he never lasted more than two and a half years.

- Was it, when you guys were together for two and a half years, was he getting, was he getting- - Itchy feet?

- itchy feet?

Were you Fray, were you get- - Well maybe there's something I don't know.

- Were you getting itchy feet after, after two and a half years?

Let's see.

Oh, he says, he says, show me again.

- No, good.

- I just want to say that you, you, you are having a natural, your body is basically doing a natural process of, you know, like you, like I say, you're not eating very much.

You're, you have pain.

So you have medication.

I mean, this is a root of tour dying, right?

You're in a process.

[Fray] Hmm.

- The rule is follow the brightest light.

It's a good quote from Fray Park House.
