It was at times a long, difficult road. But I’m glad it was long and difficult, because if I hadn’t gone through hell to get there, the lesson might not have been as clear. You see, kids, right from the moment I met your mom, I knew… I have to love this woman as much as I can for as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second. I carried that lesson with me through every stupid fight we ever had, every 5:00 a.m. Christmas morning, every sleepy Sunday afternoon, through every speed bump. Every pang of jealousy or boredom or uncertainty that came our way, I carried that lesson with me. And I carried it with me when she got sick. Even then, in what can only be called the worst of times, all I could do was look at her and thank God, thank every god there is, or ever was, or will be, and the whole universe, and anyone else I can possibly thank that I saw that beautiful girl on that train platform, and that I had the guts to stand up, walk over to her, tap her on the shoulder, open my mouth, and speak.
Seems like yesterday when she first said “hello”.
Funny how time flies when you’re in love.
It took us a lifetime to find each other.
It was worth the wait ‘cause I finally found the one.
Robin: Mommy, why did it take you 4 months to find me a name? Zelena: Oh honey, the writers were just waiting for someone important to the show to die so they could do the thing teenagers do wen they have to name babies in fanfiction and have no imagination and name you after that specific dead person, the same thing happened to your cousin Neal, and your cousin Henry, it's a family thing, don't worry about it.
