Matthew, I am wrong sometimes. Rarely, but if one of those times happens to be about the drive I don't want to spend the time we have left arguing over my mistakes. I know what I did then was wrong. I should have left, yes, but not you. I regret it took me ten years to see that. That boy deserved to have his shallow wife and mostly together children. I wish that selfish, short-sighted girl could have done that for him.
