“I don’t need anyone’s help to pick up my pieces because I don’t break. I don’t shatter. I don’t quit. I don’t need Adam. I don’t need anyone’s help. I can do this alone, like I’ve been doing from the start. My mother left. My father is dead. My grandmother is here, but she isn’t here at the same time because her Alzheimer’s and cancer are taking her away. I’m my own family, sir.”
