I wish every young adult, whether male or female could comprehend the following conversation found in the movie, Nights in Rodanthe.

"I love Jack because he's your father", says mom to her daughter. (Mom and Jack are separated.)

"But there's another kind of love. One that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are.

One that makes you feel that anything is possible.

You can have that. Hold out for it. You deserve it."
