footprints create stories worth telling.”

Don't wish me a life free of sadness or hardship,

for such a life is but a fleeting dream.

Instead, grant me the strength to face

every trial with grace, the wisdom to find meaning in

every struggle, and the humor to laugh

even when the road seems difficult.

It's gone, and that door closed for a reason.

Focus on the present.

Appreciate your loved ones who

supported you through thick and thin.

Cherish every breath:

life's small blessings are priceless.
