“What” and “If” - two words as non-threatening as words come. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. “What if?”
I don’t know how your story ended. But I know that if what you felt then was love - true love - then it’s never too late. If it was true then why wouldn’t it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart.
I don’t know what a love like that feels like - a love to leave loved ones for, a love to cross oceans for. But I;d like to believe if I ever felt it, I’d have the courage to seize it. I hope you had the courage to seize it, Claire. And if you didn’t, I hope one day you will.
