This is hard because the person who wrote all this has moved on.

But

not

before

leaving a mark
changing the shape of our hearts
mending our broken places
teaching us important stuff
loving fiercely
accepting unconditionally
dreaming hard
embodying kindness
modeling true friendship
lighting our world
gathering our pieces
bestowing gifts
breaking our hearts
