Catch and Release.



' How do you do it? '

' How do I do what? '

' How do you manage to carry on after loosing him? I mean, you were with him all your life. I can't imagine what it must be like to try to fill a gap that big. '

' Well, you don't get over it of course. You can never get over it. I still miss him at times. I'm lonely. Sometimes I'm frightened. An I still have to sleep with the lights on. '

' But you have to learn to let go, that's part of it, isn't it? '

' Part of what? '

' Part of what it means to love someone. To really love someone. If you love someone then you don't just see them as an extension of yourself. You don't just love them for what's in it for you. '

' Love means knowing when to let go. '
