Day #16 - Moment that Made you Cry: Danny begging Rachel not to take Grace away from him in “Malama Kai Aina” (Respect the Land)

Why? This was epitome of Danno’s love for Gracie. He all but got on his hands and knees before Rachel to beg her not to take his little girl away from him. He did that math just to show how much he valued that little time he had with her, and that stole my heart. It made me want to cry, the lengths he would go to for his daughter. Plus the look of relief on his face when Grace came out and he hugged her… I love these two so much together!

‘Rachel, just hear me out. All right, before you sic your lawyers on me and try to take Grace away from me, I want to remind you of something. I moved 5,000 miles so that I could see Grace twice a week. Twice a week, okay? That is 48 hours, 52 times a year, for a grand total of 2,500 hours. When you factor in sleep and school, I can really only count on about 400 hours of real face time each year. And then, you know, that’s only gonna shrink when she starts making friends and then she goes off to college. So, ultimately, that does not leave me with a lot of time to spend with my daughter. Not as much as I would want. But I never complained. I never complained, because every single one of those minutes reminds me of what I am doing and why I am here. That little girl is my life. So I am asking you, I am begging you, Rachel, to please, please, just be kind… and don’t take her away from me. That’s all.’
