“Falling in love is really quite simple,” she says. “You want to know the secret? It’s the same thing we are all doing about life every single day.” I look to her. “Forget there’s an ending.”

I laugh, and he pulls me back to him. “Te amo, cielo. Being your father is the best thing that has ever happened to me. My Achilles. Greatest of the Greeks.” “Dad…” I say. “No,” he says. “Just accept it. Let me feel it and say it. You’re the meaning of my life.”

The downside of perfectionism is that you are so used to getting it right, you completely collapse when you get it wrong.

What a gift it is, to be able to guide someone to a point and then let them finish it themself. To give someone all the knowledge you have and then pray they use it right.
