Last Words
We live in a society that often romanticizes death (usually without meaning to), leading to unhealthy fantasies regarding being able to choose when to die, planning it out, leaving a note. So, in this challenge, I am not asking for you to write suicide notes- instead, I am asking for you to write out what you would want to tell those you love if you were to die suddenly and unexpectedly. Write the last thing you would tell those on this Earth before you left it- whether it be short, long, funny, or sentimental. As always, tag me @dream.

Always

I have often been asked if I am always happy since I am always smiling and cheerful. As you know, my general reply is that no one is always happy, but I prefer not to impose my low moments on others. More importantly, perhaps, I often am able to feel better when I continue to exude a positive demeanor for people frequently respond in kind and help improve my mood.

But know this: If you asked me if I was always happy, my response would be, I am always happy with you. Even on my darkest days, a smile, a hand, a hug, a word from you turns my sorrow, anger, grief to simple joy. Indeed, the mere thought of you can bring a smile to my face.

If you are reading this, you may be sad and grieving, feeling bereft and lost. Please, don't, for I will be with you till your last breath, if only in a warm memory that brings a smile to your lips as you close your eyes and remember, I love you.
