“When the Rain Started Calling My Name”

Understanding, Not Forgiveness, Brings Release
True release isn't about not crying anymore, but about being able to look back on it all with a smile, not just tears. You'll still have feelings; you'll still have regrets, but you'll understand the reasons for them. You'll have regrets, but you'll also understand that your regrets are not the other person's burden to carry.
