only someone who held on to the very end can say they let someone go. (borrowed from a quote embedded in an email forwarded to me by someone way smarter than i)
now that is a powerful statement. let's break it down . . .
only someone the words say one but infers there were two. one being held and one doing the holding. not several. just two and no more than two.
who held on action. forward movement. purposeful. a decision that would be made over and over and over every single time the opportunity presented it self . . . no matter how painful it might seem to the outside world. given the opportunity you would make the exact same choice again and again.
to the very end that is a long time. it also indicates knowledge. knowledge that the end is actually coming. it is inevitable and will happen.
can say a choice. an audible choice. a decision.
they let someone go specific. most notable: standing still and watching someone else move away without control or influence of their actions.
be nice to those you encounter who have held on to the end. if you meet someone who is standing close to the end just be there for them until that chapter is over. if you are the one who is leaving be swift if it is in your control. if it is not in your control more than anything say what you mean and mean what you say. remember . . . no regrets. there simply isn't time.
