“
…My daughter was dumped by her husband out of nowhere. That was her sabertooth. Instead of collapsing from the weight, she emerged stronger. A new person, so I thought, but now I think perhaps that was who she was all along. I never really took her seriously. My son, Noah, I took seriously. I would take him to Colombia with me every week so he could dream of what he could be. I don't remember if I ever did that for Miriam. I don't think it ever occurred to me. As unfathomable as this career choice of hers is, she's doing it on her own with no help from me or her mother. Where did this come from? This strength, this fearlessness that I never had. That my poor son never had. What could she have been if I had helped her and not ignored her, ignored who she really is. My daughter is a remarkable person and I don't think I've ever said that to her. - Abe Weissman, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
