“Life is hard, Parker. Everyone has tough stuff. There’s no perfect relationship or perfect job or perfect house that will somehow make your life easy. What throws us for a loop is when life is hard in ways we weren’t prepared for. Divorce. Illness. Disability. Money problems. Rebellious kids. Reporters who blow undercover ops. Friends who don’t have the good sense to see they are messing up something really good that has fallen in their lap and they’d better fix it before it’s too late.”
