Yes, I made a mistake when dousing your father, but you have no idea how I felt when he finally wrapped his arms around me. I was so blissfully happy and so very much in love. Your father's love might have been magically induced, but mine was always real. And believe me, sweetheart, I loved you so very much. For the nine months, I carried you under my heart and even those few, precious hours I could hold you after you were born. So, forget these foolish words. If you find someone worthy of your love, I know that you will be able to love him or her back. I know that it can be scary because it gives those you love power over you, and I know first-hand how that can break you. But it will always be your choice to risk it. And even if I chose the wrong man, he gave me you, and I can never regret that!"
