I’ve got two people to thank for anchoring my son to this world. One is that damn strong man upstairs, Shea, and the other is you. Brody walked back from that edge because of you. He’s alive because of you. You showed up, Morgan. You were there for him then, and here you are, doing it again. That’s the finest thing a man can do in this life: be there for someone.”
