Always remember…

Remember me in the warmth of the sunlight shining on your face, and in the moonlight across your bedroom floor. Remember me in the warm rains of June, and in the cool, crisp blanket of snow that covers your lawn in December. Remember me in the bottom of your coffee cup every morning, and in the comfort of your blanket every night. Remember me with joy every Christmas, and with a giggle every April Fool’s. Remember me in the booming thunder, and in the quiet breeze on an autumn afternoon. Remember me, not with sadness that I cannot be there now, but with joy that I was able to share beautiful moments with you. Do not cry for me upon my death, but rejoice in knowing that I lived. Do not fear for what waits for me when I draw my last breath, but smile knowing that someday we will again be together. Do not weep for what I have suffered here, but smile for the times you made it all worthwhile for me. Do not remember our disagreements, our fights, our anger. Remember instead our laughter, our hugs, our secret smiles. I will always hold in my heart the memories we shared, through good and bad. I will forever cherish you for all the smiles, the tears, the laughs, the sighs, the joy, and the pain we shared. I will forever be grateful for having you in my life, even after our time together is through. I will not weep for losing more time with you. I will fall to my knees and give thanks for having even just one brief moment in time to know how truly wonderful you are. Every moment in my life was made beautiful, wonderful, painful, sad, glorious, and worthwhile because I shared them with you.
