Letter found in a bottle:

When I feel completely, utterly alone, you’re there.

You don’t always quiet the storm. You don’t always make me feel better. When all is said and done, I think all we really need, all any of us can give, is that calm, cool certainty. There will be a port out there waiting for you, when your ship is ready to come in.

If today I do not return, I pray you never forget: you were there. You did what you could. I tried to come back, but this time for some reason I couldn’t.

  1. Beautiful, I wonder if the recipient ever saw it. Or maybe he or she wasn’t even meant ot see it, it just needed to be said. The sea can handle secrets.
