"At first, I couldn't figure it out. I didn't want to. But I knew. I knew that all the wishing and praying in the world couldn't change the fact that I was gay. I didn't do anything about it. I didn't tell you or Mom or anyone. It was my secret. And suddenly I'm 60 years old. It's like I'm still there, like nothing happened. Like I'm still waiting for something I felt was promised to me that day, something that never came, and I'm angry about it. And I'm still sitting on that beach, and I'm still 12 years old, and nothing's changed, and I'm still sorry about it."

No, you're not. It's just over. I love you, Joy. That was never a lie. It's just time for us to be in the real world.

What if I don't wanna be in the real world?

Well, I do.

Well, I don't. That's why I married you."


"Maybe it's never too late to finally start the life you really want. "


"I drove down a street one night. A street I didn't know. It's the way your life goes sometimes. You drive down this one... then another. And now... another."
