Billy’s arms are around him pulling him into a tight hug before he even finishes his sentence. “She was your mom, and she loved you and she would be so proud of you Teddy. You don’t have to shake that feeling, that’s okay.”

There wasn’t anything he could do except be there. Which in hindsight was all he ever needed to do. He can’t bring her back for him but he can be there and he can do his damndest to make him happy for the rest of their lives.
