Changed Quote by J.M. Darhower
““See how much she’s changed… you did that for her” “I didn’t do anything” … “You’re the one who made the difference … no matter what you do tomorrow, Carmine, what matters is that you did that today.” … “All I did was love her.” “Ever think maybe that’s what she needed? Sometimes we don’t have to really do anything. We just have to be.””
