"We've all done something in our lives we're ashamed of. Some of us have fallen for the wrong man. Some have let go of the right woman. There are those who have humiliated their parents and those who have failed their children. Yes, we've all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love. But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow." 
一生当中，我们都做过一些让自己所不齿的事。有的人为虚情假意的男人沦陷，有的人却放弃了自己最爱的女人，有那些让父母感到羞愧的孩子，也有那些让孩子失望了的父母。是的，我们都犯过错，让我们和所爱的人越走越远。但还是会有补救的办法，如果我们能从错误中汲取教训，并在错误中成长。
