A Tribute to a Dear Brother and Uncle

Free At Last!!

Celebrate with me for I have graduated from this teaching school called earth. I have accepted challenging lessons of life far beyond what I remember signing up for. Rejoice with me, for I managed to be like water in a stream and flow through the obstacles. Please don't be sad for me, my highest teacher was guiding me through every step of my journey. I see you are crying? Yes, I know and I will miss your physical presence too but I love you no matter what. As soon as you think of me my embracing love will be your comfort.
