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.
