'The gardener said the words she’d heard those years ago. She willed it with everything she had.

I feel Carla Gugino is so underrated in THOBM. Just look at her expressions in these. Her eyes speak so much louder than the dialogues can ever can. And there is no one that could do justice to older Jamie's character. The pain, the longing for Dani is so evident in her eyes. I didn't have the heart to watch the last episode again but yesterday I did and when I saw the part where she is comforting Flora when she is worried about living without her love by her side, the advise she gives is exactly what she did after losing Dani. She did exactly those things when she spent those 13 years with Dani. She didn't let their fear of the future affect their present. They lived and they loved and made the most of those 13 years. And to think she had to relive everything over again just breaks my heart. I think she decided to finally tell Dani's story after all those years was because she knew that children forgetting her was not fair. I know they didn't choose to forget her but Dani sacrificed her life without knowing what it would cost in that moment. She didn't get to grow old with the love of her life. And that was injustice enough to her memories and Jamie wanted Dani to be heard, to be known and to be remembered.
