There was a boat, Theresa,

offshore in trouble.

1310

01:
59:12,223 -- 01:59:13,943

A family, there was three of them.

1311

01:
59:14,264 -- 01:59:15,824

Garret tried....

1312

01:
59:17,014 -- 01:59:19,614

Well, he tried to help, and....

1313

01:
59:21,389 -- 01:59:24,069

lt's bad. He went down.

1314

01:
59:26,264 -- 01:59:27,544

What do you mean?

1315

01:
59:27,889 -- 01:59:29,209

He went in after them.

1316

01:
59:29,514 -- 01:59:33,114

He got two of them.

But he went down, Theresa.

1317

01:
59:34,472 -- 01:59:36,302

l am so sorry.

1318

01:
59:39,264 -- 01:59:41,144

That's all l got now.

1319

01:
59:43,097 -- 01:59:44,377

Bye.

1320

01:
59:49,805 -- 01:59:51,525

Oh, my God.

1321

02:
01:56,967 -- 02:01:58,527

Hard times.

1322

02:
01:58,967 -- 02:02:00,407

Come on in.

1323

02:
02:08,550 -- 02:02:10,220

l found it on the boat.

1324

02:
02:10,967 -- 02:02:12,557

lt was in his slicker.

1325

02:
02:36,549 -- 02:02:38,029

Dear Catherine:

1326

02:
02:38,632 -- 02:02:40,352

My life began when l found you...

1327

02:
02:40,674 -- 02:02:43,584

...and l thought it had ended

when l failed to save you.

1328

02:
02:44,174 -- 02:02:48,254

l thought that hanging on to your

memory was keeping us both alive.

1329

02:
02:48,674 -- 02:02:49,994

But l was wrong.

1330

02:
02:50,465 -- 02:02:52,265

A woman named Theresa

showed me that...

1331

02:
02:52,590 -- 02:02:54,900

...if l was brave enough to

open my heart...

1332

02:
02:55,257 -- 02:02:58,327

...l could love again,

no matter how terrible my grief.

1333

02:
02:58,798 -- 02:03:01,758

She made me realize

l was only half-alive.

1334

02:
03:02,131 -- 02:03:04,251

lt scared me and it hurt.

1335

02:
03:04,590 -- 02:03:09,110

l didn 't know how much l needed her

till the night she flew away.

1336

02:
03:10,631 -- 02:03:14,551

When that airplane took off, l felt

something inside me tear away.

1337

02:
03:15,048 -- 02:03:16,168

And l knew.

1338

02:
03:16,464 -- 02:03:17,904

l should have stopped her.

1339

02:
03:18,214 -- 02:03:20,204

l should've follo wed her home.

1340

02:
03:20,797 -- 02:03:23,357

And now tomorrow, l'm going to sail

to the windy point...

1341

02:
03:23,756 -- 02:03:25,986

...and l'm going to say goodbye to you.

1342

02:
03:27,131 -- 02:03:29,011

Then l'm going to go to this woman...

1343

02:
03:29,339 -- 02:03:31,649

...and see if l can win her heart.

1344

02:
04:43,128 -- 02:04:45,038

lf l can, l know you'll bless me.

1345

02:
04:45,378 -- 02:04:46,818

And bless us all.

1346

02:
04:47,711 -- 02:04:48,781

lf l can 't...

1347

02:
04:49,086 -- 02:04:51,726

... then l'm still blessed because

l've had the privilege of loving...

1348

02:
04:52,086 -- 02:04:53,726

... twice in my life.

1349

02:
04:54,252 -- 02:04:55,572

She gave me that.

1350

02:
04:55,877 -- 02:04:59,237

And if l tell you l love her

as much as l loved you...

1351

02:
04:59,669 -- 02:05:01,659

... then you'll know the whole story.

1352

02:
05:03,919 -- 02:05:05,909

Rest in peace, my love.

1353

02:
05:06,252 -- 02:05:07,242

Garret.

1354

02:
05:36,251 -- 02:05:39,131

lf some lives form a perfect circle...

1355

02:
05:39,959 -- 02:05:44,879

...others take shape in ways we cannot

predict or always understand.

1356

02:
05:46,084 -- 02:05:48,924

Loss has been a part of my journey.

1357

02:
05:49,459 -- 02:05:52,659

But it has also shown me

what is precious.

1358

02:
05:53,417 -- 02:05:57,617

So has a love for which

l can only be grateful.
