When Jack left me, it wasn’t just our marriage ending. It was the loss of all the hopes that I’d had for the future. I tried to move on, but the world didn’t seem that interested in me anymore. Then you came along, and helped me believe in myself again.
I know you’ve only ever known your father and me. And I love Jack, because he is your father. But there’s another kind of love, Amanda. One that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are. One that makes you feel that anything is possible. I want you to know that you could have that. I want you to hold out for it.
Well, you fall in love with someone, you know… and you make a family… and you become what you think you’re supposed to be. And you change and you give up certain things. Then they look at what you’ve got left and you wish you… I don’t know, you just think maybe you shouldn’t have.
