To the most beautiful woman I know-
Now that I’m alone again, nothing is as it once was.
The sky is grayer, the ocean is more forbidding.
Will you make it right?
The only way it to see me again.
I miss you,
Garrett

Why did he add the word “think”? Either he was in love or he wasn’t…wasn’t he? Had he said it to appease her? Or had he said it for another reason?

You’re right. In my mind, I know you’re right. But my heart… I just don’t know.

Something wonderful has happened between us, and I don’t want to lose sight of that.

I don’t know if you’re ready to go on yet, and if you’re not, then I’m going to be the one who gets hurt.

You lost a wife-something that most people our age don’t know anything about. Your feelings say a lot about you. You’re the kind of person who loves someone forever…that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I don’t know whether I’ll ever get used to being without her.

I’m just telling you what I learned growing up. I was about Kevin’s age when my mom died of cancer. Watching my dad taught me that I had to go on with my life, no matter what happens.

It’s impossible to protect your kids against disappointment in life.

Catherine had meant everything to him. All she’d had to do was look at him and he’d feel as if everything were suddenly right in the world. And when she smiled…Lord, that was something he’d never been able to find in anyone else. To have something like that taken away… it just wasn’t fair. And more than that, it just seemed wrong. Why her, of all people? And why him? For months he lain away at night, asking himself “What if.” What if she’d waited an extra second before crossing the street? What if they had lingered at breakfast for another few minutes? What if he’d gone with her that morning instead of going straight to the shop? A thousand what ifs, and he was no closer to understanding the whole thing than he had been when it first happened.

Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.

Life doesn’t often turn out the way we think it will, does it?

She was intelligent, he could sense that right away, and confident, too, as if she were able to move through life on her own terms. To him, these were the things that really mattered. Without them, beauty was nothing.

In a small box that sat in his end table, he kept a few things that he couldn’t bear to part with-the valentines cards he’d once given her, her wedding ring, and other things that people wouldn’t understand. Late at night, he liked to hold them in his hands, and even though his father sometimes commented that he seemed to be doing better, he would lie there thinking that no, he wasn’t. To him, nothing would ever be the same again.

Though he could remember the events of that evening, he found that as time as rolling on, it was becoming more and more difficult to visualize exactly the way she looked. Little by little her features were beginning to vanish before his eyes, and though he knew that forgetting helped to deaden the pain, what he wanted most of all was to see her again. In three years he’d looked through the photo album only once, and that had hurt so much he’d sworn it was the last time he’d ever do it. Now he saw her clearly only at night, after he’d fallen asleep. He loved when he dreamed of her because it seemed as though she were still live. She would talk and move, and he would hold her in his arms, and for a moment it seemed that everything was suddenly right int he world.

It was the first time I ever loved someone. Love is love, no matter how old you are, and I knew that if I gave you enough time, you’d come back to me.

He had neither the will nor the desire to exist anymore, and sometimes as he sat there, he hoped that the salty, humid air would swallow him up completely so he wouldn’t have to face the future alone.

Though part of him what excited about what just happened, another part of him felt that there was something wrong with the whole thing. He knew there wasn’t any reason to feel guilty, but the feeling was definitely there, and he wished there was something he could do about it. But there wasn’t, of course. There never was.

Maybe, he thought, it was a desire for female companionship after all these years, if only for a short time. Or maybe it had something to do with the way her eyes lit up whenever she talked. But no matter what the reason, he had just asked her to come with him, and there was nothing he could do to change it.

I’m not going to have you sitting around the newsroom for the next year wondering what might have been. You don’t work well when you’re distracted.
