And I'm glad for that.

I'm really grateful for that, that they have that kind of rapport.

But I don't think I mischaracterized him in the book, either during the marriage or after the marriage.

I was very, very careful with my words because I knew my children would be reading this.

They're funny.

I printed it and put it on my desk and I said, come read it whenever you want to.

And it sat there for three weeks.

And then I found my girls reading it in bed and then it was on the floor.

I think kids just don't take it as seriously as we all do.

Yeah.

I think they're very proud of me.

And they're also very loving and supportive of their dad.

So it's like they have both things.

Yes.

But I think that what I hope I've done...

which felt really important to me, is to recreate what he was as a father during all those years and all the wonderful things that he did with them.

Because when it ends the way mine did, all of that kind of gets erased for me and for kids and for him.

And I wanted that there to be a record.

But he was there chopping the wood that night.

He was.
