“You said someone like me would never be able to finish a run that long. Guess what? I did, and I kicked its ass. It’s where I met your dad, so I guess I should be thanking you for your lack of faith in me. Because of your doubt, I’m happier than you could’ve ever made me. I found a man who believes in me. Who makes me want to keep running because he’s so supportive, no matter how much slower I am than him. Words hurt, Jeremy, and if you tell people what they can’t do, you’re never going to keep anyone around.”
