Question

Which two parts of this excerpt from "Once in a Lifetime" by Jhumpa Lahiri indicate the use of second-person point of view? The other items your parents bequeathed to us, the toaster and the crockery and the Teflon pots and pans, were gradually replaced as well, until there was no longer any physical trace of you in the house. For years our families had no contact. The friendship did not merit the same energy my parents devoted to their relatives.
