Quotes[]
"Sometimes in marriage, someone has to be the one to push to make the big moves. And oftentimes in our marriage, yes, it was your father. Our marriage wasn't perfect, it's true. But none are. And your father wasn't perfect, either. But he was pretty damn close - as close as they come." ― Rebecca
