Bear Grylls Quote

It wasn’t until the final years of her life that Neville and Patsie became almost reunited.Neville now lived a few hundred yards from the house that I grew up in as a teenager on the Isle of Wight, and Patsie in her old age would spend long summers living with us there as well.The two of them would take walks together and sit on the bench overlooking the sea. But Neville always struggled to let her in close again, despite her warmth and tenderness to him.Neville had held fifty years of pain after losing her, and such pain is hard to ignore. As a young man I would often watch her slip her fingers into his giant hand, and it was beautiful to see.I learned two very strong lessons from them: the grass isn’t always greener elsewhere, and true love is worth fighting for.
