“We’re always coming and going… it’s hard, but there’s something exhilarating. I write him love letters he has to get his reading glasses to read. It’s all very cute!” - Hilarie Burton

“We got set up on a blind date by Jensen Ackles and his wife... And that was a little over three years ago. We’ve been attached at the hip since.” - Jeffrey Dean Morgan

“Every time I would go to LA, I would stay at Danneel and Jensen’s house. And I think Jensen got sick of me dating dorks. I think he was like, ‘Alright, whoever Hilarie dates, I’m gonna have to hang out with by proxy, so let me just pick him.’ Jensen was like, ‘Yeah, I’ve got somebody for you to meet’ and Danneel was like, ‘Who?’ and he whispers into her ear and she’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes.‘” - Hilarie Burton

“I happened to be single and Jensen said, ‘I’ve got a girl you should meet”. So I went to a bar and I met Hilarie at a bar with Jensen and Danneel, and the rest is history. I [got a little too lit]. We all did. We ended up back at my house drinking shots of tequila. But she was really cool and somehow I talked her into going to — I was on my way to do a movie called The Resident in New Mexico and she was on her way to Paris — and I talked her into, instead of going to Paris, to come and see me in New Mexico. And I ruined her life and now she’s stuck with me.” - Jeffrey Dean Morgan

“You are so many things to so many people. And I love the kindness you generously share with the people you cross paths with. But to Gus and I, you are the dad who goes swimming when it’s cold. You’re the dad who works all night and travels all day to make it to soccer. You’re the dad who washes dishes when I’m overwhelmed. You’re the dad who holds his teary boy when he needs a bandaid. You’re the dad who sings Chaka Khan in the car to make us laugh. You are the dad who makes us both feel protected and lucky and loved. You’re our hero and we love you so so much.” - Hilarie Burton

“He is incredible. I mean, that’s my new favorite thing, being a dad. It’s been amazing. It’s my favorite thing to do. I spend my whole day with him since we wrapped this show, I’ve purposely not done anything, so it’s been daddy/kid time. I’ve let Mom go and do a job and I just really wanted to spend time with him.” - Jeffrey Dean Morgan

i'm damaged in many ways
yet a lot of what my fight is about
is pushing through that to live

a meaningful, sane existence
