And our families were so happy, and our friends that knew were so happy.““It was fantastic to have all the support,” Broderick added. “And everyone be so happy. It sucks to be where we are right now, but we’ve got to try to focus on the positive side of things.“Broderick said he’s ready to support Doute for whatever comes next. “I just know that I have to be your rock here, and I want to,” he told his girlfriend. “I want to be there with you, for you. And help get over these sad times, and get back to more happy times, because I know it won’t be that far off.““It’s coming, we will accomplish it, and we’ll be an awesome, happy family some day.”
