" I have one priority in life and it’s not making millions as it once was.
I have all the money I could ever want, too much, India claims. I’m business driven but it’s my girl who is the most important part of my life.
My whole life.
It’s that very reason I’m reluctant to bring any shift in our happy bubble.
We both work hard. We play hard together.
That woman is my equal in every aspect of life.
She thrills me, and intrigues me.
I’ve loved peeling back India’s layers.
She’s vulnerable is my mean girl and I love the place we’ve gotten to where she trusts me with all her sad, unsure moments.
She will grieve for her brother for the rest of her life.
She’ll always worry about her mom becoming manic depressive again.
She’ll forever be a woman who puts everyone else before her own needs.
But what’s different in India’s life is she now has me who makes sure she’s first. In everything.
It’s going to kill me to see the happiness drop from her eyes.
She’ll go into fix it mode and when she can’t, she’ll get angry and stressed. "
