“With life come many regrettable actions that we can’t undo. Most of these come down to things we do or say in the heat of the moment. Fallouts that occur in a family – between parent and child, or among siblings – can take a long time to resolve. No amount of regret over past words and actions can heal the emotional wounds inflicted on someone unless that person’s feelings change.”

“She has her own tastes, her own experiences. I shouldn’t have tried to guide her all the time. At some point, she would have had to make big life choices without me. And when we choose our way in life, sometimes we mess up... It’s simply impossible to always be there to help. Protection is not everything. It would have been better if I let her gain the strength to overcome adversity by herself. In wishing for Yoko’s happiness, perhaps I’ve inadvertently narrowed her choices.”
