Reflecting on Sweet Goodbyes
Saint-Victor opened an Instagram post with words that hit home for a lot of fans: “When we miss something—or someone—it’s easy to focus on the ache that comes with it. But that feeling of loss means something powerful: you were present. You cared. You were impacted. Whether it was a person, a place, a job, or a moment in time… missing it means it mattered. ❤️.” He continued by quoting Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem, “In Memoriam A.H.H.,” with, “It’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all,” and ended with, “So instead of running from the discomfort, honor it. It’s proof that you lived fully.”
He also shared a video from his dressing room at B&B, reflecting on a recent trip back to Texas to finish a Christmas movie. He explained how the car ride from the set got him thinking about the way goodbyes linger. “To say goodbye to something, it can hurt and feel uncomfortable, but that is also a sign that whatever it is you were doing, you were present for it and you were there for it,” he said. He went on to call these moments “sweet goodbyes,” the kind that shape who we are long after the moment has passed.
“Those precious moments that are here and then gone,” he added, “hopefully they show up again, but even if they do, it’s going to be different.”
Fans Feel It Too
It didn’t take long for the comments section to fill up with stories and gratitude. One fan wrote, “Not Goodbye😌But Welcome🙏🩷My youngest daughter gave birth to the cutest Baby Girl in the world just a few days ago🙏🩷.” Another said, “Lawrence, you are magnificent and very smart, and you’re always positive. I definitely will be watching your movie.”
Others got personal, echoing his message of love and loss. “Love this, my brother, but it’s rough. My wife passed 6 years ago this Saturday. I love and miss her so much, but ty for the great words and perspective, God bless u, brother,” a follower shared. Another added, “Very true about loss!! My parents have been gone for several years. Still gets to me to this day! But I remember the good times!!”
By the end of the thread, it was clear this wasn’t just another celebrity post. It was a moment of shared humanity — one actor reflecting on goodbyes, and a flood of fans saying, same. (Weren’t Hope and Carter supposed to be B&B’s greatest love story?)
