So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea - remember me. As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty - remember me. As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity - remember me. Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.

May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall softly upon your fields until we meet again, and may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
