You often wish for one thing, and when it doesn’t come true, you’re disappointed until another unexpected turn takes you on a new path, one you never knew you wanted, but realize it’s the best thing that ever happened to you.

Fight through the heartache, push past it to fight for all of us.” He pauses, letting his words take root. “We need you, Reagan. I’m right here. I won’t leave you, but you have to let me put you down.”
