She’s going to prove him wrong.
This past year has been the worst of my life.
I’m not the same man that I used to be. I’m not whole.
Besides my own pain, I’ve hurt my kids and my wife of twenty years.
I can’t let her touch me, hold me... love me.
I try to push her away because they’re all better off without me.
But even knowing that is true... I’m weak.
I can’t live without her.
I know I have to do better.
I’m going to do whatever I have to do to be the man she needs.
Because I may have lost a part of me, but it’s her that makes me whole.
