“Redemption is a funny thing. There are infinite ways to get lost and just as many roads to find a path home. We fall back on the wisdom of our earliest teachers and find our innocence in their eyes. We ask more of ourselves and actually live up to it. We open our hearts one more time ready to be screwed over, but hoping for that unconditional acceptance.

The message becomes clear: take it easy on yourself, have patience, forgive, be merciful … have mercy.”

And if it didn’t touch your heart, no worries, it was never meant for you in the first place. Bob Saget would joke, “We did Full House, Fuller House, next will be Fullest House, where I’ll be in a nice urn above the fireplace.” Of course, there could never be any version of the show without Bob.”

Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up, shouts, “Come on, everybody! Here we go!” You hop on a pirate ship, Tinker Bell sprinkles pixie dust, and you fly off to Neverland, avoiding the snapping crocodiles below. That’s how I feel. Peter Pan, at the eleventh hour, is becoming a man. And here we go.”

“What I need is someone to eat off the same plate with me. Someone who makes me comfortable enough to be silly, someone I can dance poorly around, someone who gets it when I cry at commercials. I also need someone honest enough to tell me I have food in my teeth or too much product in my hair.
