You can't spend any time with someone who claims that time already spent has been a lie.
You can't help someone who denies they need help.
You can't pull someone close who has regressed to the point of being unrecognizable, and only wants to be in the arms of their childhood.

I have to say goodbye and walk away.
I have never been very good at walking away. I like to fix things, but there are some things that just cannot be fixed.
Yesterday, I spent several hours photographing a family who was forced to say goodbye to a beloved family member, and then they had to walk way after their goodbyes.
While I watched this family and their friends, I kept thinking that they will never see this person again. Their goodbyes are forever.
The tragedy of the moment made me thankful that although I have to say goodbye, I will still be able to see the person I'm sending on their way. They will be out of sight but I know that at any point I could see or speak to them again.
The problem - - they are creating a situation that is not conducive to any kind of long lasting relationship. So in the end, I too will probably have to say goodbye and walk away forever.
