Robert

Fuji这一章很短，主要讲Trevor跟狗狗的相处，而“朝三暮四”的狗狗让他明白了一个道理：

That experience shaped what I’ve felt about relationships for the rest of my life: You don not own the thing that you love

Robert这一章讲的是他跟阔别多年的爸爸重逢后的相处。费尽周折得到他爸的联系方式后，登门拜访时他爸爸拿出剪贴簿，上面全是关于儿子的新闻，看到这里就泪奔了

Being chosen is the greatest gift you can give to another human being

后面还顺带吐槽了一下瑞士人。。。

（之前看他的一个脱口秀，中间也黑了他爸。说他爸也很喜欢他妈，因为瑞士人非常喜欢吃巧克力。。。）

• gruesome: adj. very unpleasant and filling you with horror, usually because it is connected with death or injury

2. When a parent is absent, you’re left in the lurch of not knowing, and it’s so easy to fill that space with negative thoughts
