Better than any family that I've ever known.
And the thing that I appreciate about appreciate about him is that he never judged me for anything.
WOMAN: Yeah, that's right.
He - He didn't judge anyone, did he? So - WOMAN: No.
He just, like, would let you be exactly the kind of person that you needed to be.
