Eric Dane’s final message to his daughters
“First, live now. It’s hard, but I learned to do that,” Eric told his daughters in the February 20 episode of ‘Famous Last Words.’ “Second, fall in love. Not necessarily with a person, although I do recommend that as well, but fall in love with something. Find your passion, your joy. Find the thing that makes you want to get up, drives you through the entire day.”“Third, choose your friends wisely, find your people and allow them to find you, and then give yourself to them,” he continued. “The best of them will give back to you, no judgment, no condition, no questions.”
