John: I know how you feel. I wished I didn't, but I do. I buried a son right over there.
Monica: I remember.
John: Blaming yourself, aren't you? Yeah, I did that too. Still do some days. I'll tell you something I've never told anybody. I had a brother for about 18 hours. His name was Peter. He was born early, and his little heart wasn't strong enough. Not much they could do back in those days. Not a lot they can do now. So, they just gave him back to my mother. The doctors hoped and we prayed and... neither worked. And it changed my mother, it hardened her. She never... she never tried to have children again. Years later, I was grown and Lee had just been born. Both my parents are looking at him, taking turns holding him. And my father got white as a ghost, looked at my mother and said, "Peter lived a perfect life. All he saw of this planet was you and all he knew was you loved him." That boy lived a perfect life, Monica. We're the only ones who know it was brief. All he knew was you and that you loved him.
Monica: Thank you.
