Last but not least

"..I'll tell you, thats one thing I hate about my nickname, the way that numbers run on forever. Its important in life to conclude things properly.Only then can u let go.Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse.That bungled goodbye hurts me to this day.I wish so much that I'd had one last look at him in the lifeboat, that I'd provoked him a little so that I was on his mind. I wish I had said to him then - yes, I know, to a tiger, but still- I wish I had said, "Richard Parker, its over...."
