When you lived your life for others and you loved without condition.

When you made so many laugh and your smile won't be forgotten.

When you left behind an empty place that no one else can fill.

When the friendships that you shared long to be renewed.

When you built your life on hope and fulfilled it every day.

The footprints that you left behind will bring us face to face.

So, goodbye is not forever, you're only steps away.
