Well to be fair, I said, I mean she probably can't handle it. Neither can you, but she doesn't have to handle it. And you do.

About This Quote

To be fair, I said, I mean she probably can't handle it. Neither can you, but she doesn't have to handle it. And you do. And you should take care of yourself.
