Mariel Hemingway

Pain, Everybody, Amount

Beauty, Nature, Nothing

I got back into the position of taking care of my husband, which is what I'd learned that I couldn't really do: you can love and make things okay to a certain extent, but you can't fix. I didn't quite learn that until the kayaking incident. It became so clear then.
Mariel Hemingway

Love, Husband, Care
