“Every married couple alive pretends. They pretend they don’t hate their in-laws or their husbands stupid jokes or their wife’s laugh or that they don’t actually love one of their children more than the others. Marriage is, well, almost all pretend. For everyone. That’s the reality. That’s what’s real.” -First Lady Mellie Grant

“I want you to know that I’ve always wanted the best for you. I’ve wanted you to be the best because to me you always were. I didn’t have a role model for how to be a dad, and I stumbled. I know that. I got angry when I shouldn’t have, and I focused too much on how you did rather than how you were doing it. I didn’t say enough how important it was to me when you were trying, when you were struggling. Because it was. Because I should’ve understood, because that’s what I was doing. Trying. And struggling. I tried.” -Rowan Pope
