Gwyneth Paltrow Made Me Cry

I was watching Oprah (again), yesterday's show, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law. Oprah and Gwyneth were discussing mostly family. They started to talk about her father Bruce Paltrow, who recently passed away, and Gwyneth told the most beautiful story.

Her father, when she was ten, told her that they were going to Paris for the weekend, just the two of them. They flew to Paris, and they stayed in a room at The Ritz. He told her she could order anything she wanted to eat, and they went to museums and galleries and it was, in her opinion, perfect.

On the flight home, he asked her "Do you know why we went to Paris on our own? Why Mom and Jake (her brother) stayed at home together?"
She shook her head and said "No."
And he replied "Because I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who will love your forever, no matter what."

And that is when I started to cry.
