Im willing to let your child wither and die inside of you if thats whats required.
"You know what Francis said to me when he proposed? I remember his exact words. He said, Claire, if all you want is happiness, say no. Im not gonna give you a couple of kids and count the days until retirement. I promise you freedom from that. I promise youll never be bored. You know, he was the only man and there were a lot of others who proposed but he was the only one who understood me. He didnt put me on some pedestal. He knew that I didnt want to be adored or coddled. So he took my hand and put a ring on it. Because he knew Id say yes.
"Probably, when I was about nine or ten, my father took me to Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was shot. And he said, Claire, a great man died here. And I remember not fully comprehending the meaning of death yet. And I asked him how he died and he told me. And I remember feeling so sad, so angry. It seemed so unfair. I started to cry, and my daddy picked me up and he wrapped his arms around me and he said, Dont be sad, sweetheart. He made the world a better place, but sometimes that comes at a price. I guess that was the most vivid memory."
