Meet Allana Harkin. She was born in Canada, but bleeds like an Irish, in Forty Shades of Green. Things I learned from her that changed my life for the better: family first, family second, family third. Loyalty above all else. Dig deep when things get tough. When maybe all you want to do is run away, dig even deeper. Allana is the most ambitious person I know. If she had gone into finance she would own all of us. Except that she couldn’t, because her heart is too kind. One day she’s going to adopt some unusual hobby, like smoking a tiny hand-hewn Irish pipe, and she’s totally going to pull it off. You’re going to think about copying her, only don’t bother. It’ll just look weird on you. It is beautiful to watch her with her children. Like, really beautiful. Also she likes terrible movies.
