Movie quotes

  • (..) We had an incredible story together. I wish you the same once in your life. God I loved her so much. So much... Then she got pregnant once, twice... She had five miscarriages. Medical verdict came. Incurable disease. She was not going to live much longer. We decided to adopt anyway. Sir? Please. (..)
