This Is Us: 8 Most Heartwarming Kate Pearson Quotes | Screen Rant
With This Is Us coming to a close with the sixth and final series almost finished airing, there are a few things left to Kate Pearson's story that need to be resolved.
Despite Kate's character struggling to move through life, her story has captured some truly heartwarming moments. She is able to own up to her own part in holding herself back and begin taking steps for the better. Some of the most touching quotes from Kate are when she realizes how positive her motherhood and family have impacted her.
Kate's relationship with family hasn't always been the most wholesome, but that doesn't stop her from realizing the extraordinary nature of the Pearson family dynamic.
While many This Is Us fans' unpopular opinion of Kate is that she isn't developed enough, her character certainly learned to open up and love as she grew. When she became a mother, her self-love turned into a determination to give her children the love and happiness she struggled to find her whole life. Jack's blindness may be a shock and a heartbreaking reality for Kate, but that doesn't stop her from believing they'll be able to give him an amazing life.
General viewers and die-hard fans of the show alike are aware of the rocky relationship Kate has had with her mother Rebecca.
But at this moment, the audience understands what the show has been hinting at all along. Kate's hostile attitude towards her mother has always been because she wants to be like her mom and never thought she was good enough to get there. Rebecca has had her share of mistakes as a mother, as well as the amazing decisions she's also made, but it's clear Kate's decisions throughout the show have led her to follow her mother's "commit hard, love harder" mindset.
With the "Big Three" the focal point of the whole series, it's no secret Kate Pearson has an undying love for both of her brothers.
Randall struggled for a lot of reasons as he grew up, confused about his identity and where he fits into his family. His relationship with his siblings has had its share of ups and downs, but with the help of frequent flashbacks and present-day actions, it's clear Kate has tried to show Randall he has always been a role model in her life. While Kevin and Kate's role as the 'twins' in the family has created an unbreakable bond, this moment proved Kate knows how extraordinary their adopted brother is.
This quote sums up Kate's personality quite well. Though the audience has seen Kate struggle throughout her life to gain confidence, she's proven how perseverent she truly is.
All of the members of the Pearson clan have gone through their share of detrimental events that have threatened to destroy or shape them. Kate has lost her father, who was her best friend and the single person who always rooted for her success. She's been in an abusive relationship that skewed her ability to trust. Mix in her challenges with self-worth and Kate has had a lot thrown at her that would break the strongest of people. Instead of completely unraveling, Kate chose to take these experiences and grow, and this is exemplified in this quote.
Kate has said a good amount of hurtful things to her mother, but this quote is another wholesome This Is Us moment.
Mending the relationship with her mother became easier for Kate after she became a mother to little Jack. Though Kate felt inadequate a lot throughout her childhood, she is also able to see the great advantage she had to have uplifting, encouraging parents. Without Jack Pearson to guide her children through life, Kate still realizes Rebecca has also been an inspirational and consistent role model.
The show has quite obviously revealed to the audience that Toby and Kate's relationship is headed downhill towards separation, but that doesn't mean their partnership has been lackluster.
There are several great relationships within this show, but one of the most romantic This Is Us quotes is between Kate and Toby. Regardless of how their marriage ends, it's clear Toby and Kate are good parents. When Toby is distraught over not being able to pass down his Star Wars collectibles to Jack, Kate feels terrible but eventually realizes none of that matters as long as their children have them to rely on.
From the moment Kate became a mother, she has put that first, anticipating how they'll have to alter their lives to suit the children.
Nearly losing Jack when he was born, Kate and Toby made the right decision to continue to develop their family by adopting their second child. However, Kate didn't go into this with inflated ideas about what it means to raise an adopted child. Due to her experience watching Randall grow up and feeling like he was missing a piece of himself, Kate strives to do the right thing for Hailey and encourages the birth mother to be an active part of the girl's life.
Kate has had some extreme obstacles in her way since she was a child, but one thing that always affected her moving forward was her weight.
However, as the show begins and Kate makes changes to do better for her health and lifestyle, she looks at her weight in a new light. While this quote proves Kate is fully aware of the barriers her weight causes, she is no longer using it as an excuse to hold her back. Instead, she owns up to the way it has affected her life and comes to terms with how it will be a consistent part of her everyday existence.
