I'd left them because I'd loved them. Beth and my parents and my friends and my life-my free, American life. I loved them, and if I had a chance to protect them from the people who wanted to destroy them then I had to take that chance even if it meant I would never see them again. Andrew Klavan
About This Quote

In the movie 'The Pursuit of Happyness,' Will Smith plays a character named Chris Gardner. In the movie, Chris is a homeless man who has to have a baby girl named Beth in order to gain custody of her from his ex-wife Marcia. Chris Gardner is a drug dealer who tricks Will Smith's character into working for him. While working for Chris, Will falls in love with his daughter and decides he wants to take care of her and make sure she has a good life.

To do this, Will takes a chance and leaves his family because he loves them very much. In the end, he sends them money every month as if they were sending him money to help him out as well as send it back home to his family. It is also seen that he loves them still because he sends the money every month even though they are not there with him any more.

Thus, we can see that he loved his daughter and wanted to protect her and take care of her and give her a better life than what she had before.
