Echoes of Your Struggles, Light of Your Memory

May 27, 2024

To those who found the world too hard,
Too challenging, too painful to bear,
Know this: you’re not weak. It was just too much.
It is painful. It is hard. And we miss you.

You will always be missed,
A void in the places you once stood.
Not one of us can judge,
For none have walked in your shoes.

You left footprints in our hearts,
Marks that time will never erase.
Your presence was a gift, your absence,
An echo of the battles you faced.

It was your story to live and end,
A journey we may never understand.
Yet in our hearts, you remain,
A testament to the struggles you endured.

Rest now, in the peace you sought,
Your memory a light in our darkest nights.
We hold you close, with love and respect,
And in your honor, we’ll continue the fight.
