Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Fuck all that soft shit… when it comes to family, call me a teddy bear. I show emotions because that shit is real, and every real man shows his emotions… come ‘ere.”
“Come on now, I could never. I promise… tell Daddy what you need.”
My shoulders shook as I sobbed into my hands at the realization that I was safe.
“You don’t have to worry about that shit anymore. I promise you’ll never go through that again. I’m going to protect you.”
“You went your whole life never having someone to protect you. I’m not letting you go another fucking second never knowing what feeling protected feels like. I’m not letting you bring her into this world not knowing what being protected feels like… alright?”
“You can rest now.”
I wanted to have the life where I had a wife that fucking admired me.
“Even the good things have a struggle at first… that’s how you really know it’s good.” He kissed me on the cheek. “Alright?”
“I want to name her Promise.” He looked at me to see how I felt about it. “Because I promise to love that little girl with everything inside of me. I promise to never let her or her mother down, and I promise that nobody will ever hurt either of you even after the breath has left my body.”
“When you and your brother fall, you both fall harder than a tree in a rain forest.”
“I appreciate you. I respect you. I think you’re worthy of all good things. You belong to me in the best way. I need you to know and believe all of that.”
