551 Come on in. 552 I found it on the boat. 553 It was in his slicker. 554 Dear Catherine: 555 My life began when l found you... 556 ...and l thought it had ended when l failed to save you. 557 l thought that hanging on to your memory was keeping us both alive. 558 But l was wrong. 559 A woman named Theresa showed me that... 560 ...if l was brave enough to open my heart... 561 ...l could love again, no matter how terrible my grief. 562 She made me realize l was only half-alive. 563 lt scared me and it hurt. 564 l didn 't know how much l needed her till the night she flew away. 565 When that airplane took off, l felt something inside me tear away. 566 And l knew. 567 l should have stopped her. 568 l should've follo wed her home. 569 And now tomorrow, l'm going to sail to the windy point... 570 ...and l'm going to say goodbye to you. 571 Then l'm going to go to this woman... 572 ...and see if l can win her heart. 573 lf l can, l know you'll bless me. 574 And bless us all. 575 lf l can 't... 576 ... then l'm still blessed because l've had the privilege of loving... 577 ... twice in my life. 578 She gave me that. 579 And if l tell you l love her as much as l loved you... 580 ... then you'll know the whole story. 581 Rest in peace, my love. 582 Garret. 583 lf some lives form a perfect circle... 584 ...others take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand. 585 Loss has been a part of myjourney. 586 But it has also shown me what is precious. 587 So has a love for which l can only be grateful. |
