I am about to leave; my last breath does
not say “goodbye” for my love of you is
truly timeless. I leave myself not to the
undertaker and the grave,
but to your memory with love.
I leave my thoughts, my laughter, my
dreams to you whom I have treasured. I
give you what no thief can steal, the
memories of our times together: the tender,
love-filled moments, the successes
we have shared, the hard times that
brought us closer together and the roads
we have walked side by side. I also leave
you a solemn promise that after I am
home in the bosom of God, I will still be
present in the communion of Saints,
whenever and wherever you are in need,
call me: I will come to you, with my arms
full of wisdom and light to open up your
blocked paths, to untangle your knots and
to be your avenue to God.
