I could not tell you the date of my mother’s death. I could not tell you the date of my dad’s death. These are not dates that I find significant.
Meaning of the quote
O.J. Simpson, an American athlete, is saying that he doesn't remember the exact dates when his mother and father passed away. He explains that these dates are not important to him. He cares more about the memories and the people themselves, rather than focusing on the specific dates they died.
About O. J. Simpson
O.J. Simpson was a legendary NFL running back known as “the Juice” who had a successful career with the Buffalo Bills. However, his life was overshadowed by his highly publicized murder trial in 1994, where he was controversially acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend, despite later being found liable in a civil suit.
