I've seen it over and over. That was really important to me that they felt loved, that they knew what love was, that their being wasn't less important than maybe what their dad was doing or what their larger family was doing. That's right. That they were... the priority and that they were loved for who they were, not for what they did.

I certainly got the lesson that love was attached to accomplishment. And so I wanted to do the opposite of that. There were many things that my mother and father did that I wanted and did emulate, but there were many things that I wanted to do differently. What are the best...

Strength. She gave me incredible strength. She gave me incredible faith. She gave me the lesson of family, the importance that family is everything. And she would always say, you can have an argument with your brothers, but you cannot... be forever mad at your brothers. You know, they are what you have. And she showed me her brothers and her sisters were her best friends. And she showed me that.

And she showed me even, you know, I remember when my Uncle Teddy got divorced, she stayed in relationship with my Aunt Joan. She stayed in relationship with my Aunt Jackie. She stayed in the family, keeping the family together, laughing with her family and prioritizing her family. She gave me that. She gave me so much. She gave me a firm belief that I was here for something larger than myself.

Never. And I have such, I remember when she was dying, I took her hand and, you know, my mother wasn't somebody that touched you and she didn't hug you or that just wasn't her way. Neither was it my grandmother's way. And I remember taking her hand and saying, you know, you did such an incredible job. You know, I love you and you can go because my brothers and I were connected. We're tight.

We're good. You did a great job. And I want you to know that. And, you know, she died like 24 hours later. But as you know, she was really everything to me. And her voice was tough. Her voice was tough. But I know it was tough on her, too.

Now you know that more than ever. Now I know that. I know how tough she was on herself.
