Kids aren’t born loving you. Needing you, maybe. But not loving you. You have to put the work in for love.” “But I told you. No one ever told me what the work was. I didn’t know what to do.” “No one told me either. No one ever told me any of it. But if you want to, you figure it out. And then you figure it out a bit better the next day. And you carry on doing that for all the days. Most of the time it’s really hard and boring, but it’s not impossible. You just have to really want to do it.”
