May you feel how much we love you.
May you understand how much you have taught us.
May you know how much we have learned.
May you understand that you are a gift to us and to others.
May you feel as sacred as we hold you dear.
May our memories of you be a blessing that makes us laugh and sustains us.
May you give us the strength we will need to live without you.
May you know that you will never be without us.
May your next adventure be the most incredible and may you be
there waiting for us when we get there too.
May you never wonder how much you matter.
May you know you always will.
Peace be with you and be not afraid.
