One last breath,

We have officially lost you.

We will no longer get to see

your wonderful smile walk through the front door.

We will no longer get to hear

your immaculate sarcasm and hear your laugh.

We will no longer get to witness

your loving presence and hear your stories.

But with this loss,

Everyone came together.

Everyone is remembering you.

We think of the laughs, the sarcasm and the stories.

Through you we’ve experienced hope,

Through you we’ve experienced happiness,

Through you we’ve experienced love.

Because of you, we now know how to love.

We love stronger, wiser and intensely.
