[N] When he came here, he was like, come and look, we're older than you.
And he used to live in that room over there.
This is how small it is.
Imagine, this is your room.
Upstairs out there, grandpa's mum used to live up there.

So _ this _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is the house that I grew up in, with my stepfather, which is your Grandpa Tom,
Grandma Cindy, Uncle Christian and Auntie Leah.
We used to jump off and say, right, this wasn't here.
This is where I used to live, like I tell you, son.
This was my home.
Everyone wants best for their kids.
I'm very comfortable with telling people that I grew up here.
I think everyone wants their children to grow up in an environment like this.
Why wouldn't you?
That's why it's good for you to come and see, so you know where your family come from,
you know where, you understand?
You give thanks for what you have.
Because people before us worked hard for us to be able to live how we're living. _ _ _ _ _ _
