4. Love is holding the oldest through her nightmares.

5. Love is giving your son his first prosthetic and helping him find his balance again.

6. Love is not asking if she's responsible, because if she said it out loud it would change everything except how you feel.

7. Love is letting your daughter have her wildfire years.

8. Love is helping your baby unpack in the temple school even though it means you won't see her again for years.

9. Love is believing her when she tells you the murders are the only way to keep them safe.

Love is enough.
