One afternoon my wife, Giulia, asked me: “Mark, if I kill myself, will you promise me that you will find a new wife so that you can still be happy?” I sighed and leaned back into the chair next to her, unsure of what to say.

Yes, thank you. I needed that reminder as well with my daughter. I need to listen more and quit frantically trying to fix everything for her.
