Quotes[]
“If Uncle Lee is going to be a daddy, when can I see my daddy?”
“Oh, sweetheart, don’t you remember what we talked about? Your daddy is in heaven.”
“But where is heaven?”
“Well, heaven is up above us. And I know that may seem far away, but your daddy is also in our hearts. Here, and right here. And that’s where he’ll always be.”
-Jack Jr. and Elizabeth
“Obviously, I want him to know all about Jack, but how much do I tell him, and when?”
“Well, from where I sit, in my opinion, they’ll let you know what they’re ready for.”
-Elizabeth and Nathan, about Jack Jr.
“We waited so long for this moment. We’d almost given up hope.”
“Yeah. She’s our little miracle.”
“Why does the world look so different all of a sudden?”
“Because it is.”
“Because she’s in it.”
-Rosemary, Lee, and Elizabeth after Goldie’s birth
“You know what I’ve learned about love? It can’t be measured or contained or used up. The more you love, the more you can love. And once you truly love someone, you’ll love them forever.”
“That’s how I love you.”
-Elizabeth and Lucas
