Letting go of someone you love is never easy. The truth of it is, once any bond is made it's hard to break that bond. Just like welding, when two things are bonded together, to get them apart something has to be broken. When people bond they bond at their heart, so unfortunately, when you break a bond you're heart is where the bond has to be broken, thus the pain of heartbreak. There are so many times in life when you have to let go of someone you love, but that doesn't mean letting go of love.

Billy Ray Cyrus recently put out a song called "Ready, Set, Don't Go". The opening line of that song says "she's gotta do what she's gotta do and I've gotta like it or not". There's nothing we can do to stop our kids from growing up. I've got one baby girl and every day I see her grow. She's almost a year and has started crawling, talking, and almost walking. I know the day is going to come that I won't want to let her go, but I'm going to have to "like it or not". Another part of the song says "she says things are falling in place, feels like they're falling apart. Painting this big old smile on my face to hide my broken heart." I know I'm not going to want my daughter to leave, but her happiness is most important to me. I know she's still going to love me. I'll have to let her go, but the love will still be there.

My great-grandmother recently passed away. I know she is in a far better place, and no longer has to suffer the pains of the mortal body, but I wasn't ready to let her go. There is a large hole in my heart where I will miss her, but I know someday I will see her again. I was not ready to let her go, but have had to anyway. The pain is almost unbearable at times, but I found things to help me through this hard time. I have an old blanket she made me when I was a baby. I got that blanket out of an old box I had it stored in; I've been using it for my baby girl and will always remember that her love is still there even though she isn't.

Another love hard to let go of is the love we lose in a break-up. The last guy I dated, before I met the man who is now my husband, I thought for sure I would be with forever. He left for two years to serve a religious mission. I planned to patiently wait for him. Letting him go was hard; harder still was when he sent me a letter from France telling me we were over. I spoke to him once on the phone and heard none of the love he had felt before he left. I saw him once after he returned and we talked for just a few moments. The love
