We all know this ending. It’s the almost and the never-was.  It’s the intact heart, locked away from feeling anything at all.

I know all I can do now is take these moments as lessons and cherish what we had and all of our potential. I know this is goodbye.

What a gift it is to be alive. To be amongst them, to witness what humans can make with their pain and their joy.

as are the waves of my life, so are the waves of how i cope with it—each wave bringing with it just as much grief as it takes when it leaves.
