" But your mother was always impossible to say no to, too. God help me if you turn out to have even half of her stubbornness, half of her drive and brilliance. I already have no idea how I’m going to raise you by myself, terrified I’m going to do a horrible job, but your mother is convinced we’ll make it. I promised her that I would do anything in the world to protect you, no matter the cost. "
