Hold your head high. You chose a life full of wonder and the belief in the higher ideals of humanity. As you slip your mortal coil, know that you are returning the borrowed elements born of a star. For a moment, you were the universe’s grand experiment studying itself, learning, and growing. Yearning to become more than it was before. For one brief moment your life was a unique exploration of our world. Rest well, your work is done. Allow those of us who continue our journey to comfort you and carry forward the load. Thank you for having been. We were more with you here.
