I found it very interesting the story about how both siblings found love in very different ways, but with the same result. They both had scars from their father's sudden death. She expertly showed that you can overcome these scars. The path that Shelby and Grant toke showed that you can love people and not be hurt the same way as you were in the past. Basically, the past can be a good teacher, but not necessarily the indicator of the future. Learn from the past, but don't repeat the same failings.
