And as the days go on we hold up our heads, for the person we loved and the life that they led. For the memories that were forged in the good times and the bad, for those moments of pure joy and for the few that were sad. And though we may weep for the life that once was, we celebrate their life with our tears and a pause. As we look to a person who brightened our gloomy days, and hope that their character is one we can portray. Not only in practice but in mind body and soul, as we put back the pieces that once made us whole. And though our lives goes on we will never forget, this incredible person whom we are forever in their debt. For showing us the world in a whole new light, for giving us the courage to do what is right. For inspiring us with passion to live out our dreams, and showing us reality isn’t always what it seams. They gave us so much and all we have to give, is their memory to honor in the lives that we live. By loving without fear and giving without end, by offering a hand even if not a friend. So with saddened hearts and tear filled eyes, we say in our prayers a lasting goodbye. And look to the sky and laugh at our fate, which will one day land us at the pearly white gate. To greet and embrace with those who are gone, with the ones we love that are never foregone.
