Perhaps it would have been easier if I said that not being able to find something is like suddenly not remembering the words to your favorite song that you knew by heart. Itโs like suddenly forgetting the name of someone you know really well and see every day, or the name of a television show you watched for years. Itโs something so frustrating that it plays on your mind over and over again because you know thereโs an answer but no one can tell you it.

A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what.

Cecelia AhernOn the other hand, she was a women with a million happy memories, who knew what it was like to experience true love and who was ready to experience more life, more love and make new memories. Whether it happened in ten months or ten years, Holly would obey Gerry's final message. Whatever lay ahead, she knew she would open her heart and follow where it led. In the meantime, she would just live.
