Don't cry for me -- I am in a beautiful place. I know your heart is heavy, and the days ahead may feel long, but please know that I am at peace. There is no pain here, no fear, only love and light. I carry your love with me, just as you carry mine. When you hear laughter, feel warmth in the sun, or notice beauty in the little things -- that's me, gently reminding you I'm still near. Live fully, love deeply, and hold each other close. And when your heart aches, remember; this is not goodbye. It's simply until we meet again.
