From the last song

Dear Ronnie,
I miss the hours we spent together at the piano. I miss being your teacher.
I know you see me as having left you, but when your mother and I split up, I was in a lot of pain.
I just needed to come home. I regret moving away from you and Jonah more than anything. I hope you'll forgive me.

Your mom tells me you completely failed your SATs, but I know how smart you have to be to get every single question wrong.

Congratulations, Ronnie.
I've told you before that none of what happened between your mother and me had anything to do with you or Jonah.
Love is fragile, Ronnie.
And we're not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives, against all odds.
