We can keep holding tightly even after we know something has changed.
Not because it didn't matter.
Sometimes because it mattered enormously.
We can begin to mistake the grip for the care itself.
As though loosening our hold might somehow diminish what mattered, or risk losing something we still value.
But the invitation isn't always to let go.
Sometimes it's to hold differently.
Maybe what genuinely belongs doesn't need to be held quite so tightly.
