Life's little challenges are not supposed to be difficult, just a problem to be solved by you. That is why I have come to realize that I don't know and I am not able to understand the things that people say and do.

I am confused. I am one who knows nothing of my past. I live in the present, and that too will fade away much too quickly, leaving me behind. Again and again my problems are not solved and my thoughts speed by in the blink of an eye, but leaves nothing on my mind.

Too soon I fear few will know I lived or died. I don't remember the names of those I shook hands with, saying goodbye. Too soon, my darling, I fear I won't remember your lovely face, or not even your name, no matter how hard I try.

This damn disease does as it pleases. It takes all you know and love as it marches down my memory lane. I know I am living in a short span of life. I would like to live a hundred years, but most of all when death sets me free, it's you i'll leave in pain.

There's a bridge between your mind and heart, and friendship keeps reaching out to us, it's that warmth that we'll remember. Mine is gone now, but yours lives on, so I hand you all my memories, for in a while i'll forget to smile and that my birthday is in November.

Before I go, I want to leave you with a sustaining thought: No matter where you go, I want you to know that my presence will be guarding you. Remember you can find peace and calmness in any storm. My arm of love will be around you for the blessing you gave me. That's the least I can do.

Please remember me.
