Memorable goodbyes!
"our time on earth shrinks"
The clock is ticking; we live to create memories.
We live our lives without assurance of tomorrow.
Nobody knows what will happen next, and there's no hope.
~~~
Memories remain within our minds, life goes on.
Memories are as if they were yesterday.
The flashes of moments we enjoyed seem to fade away.
~~~
People we once knew from our childhood vanished without a trace.
Life goes on, and we meet new people as we grow older.
The times we once shared with others are as if we were never together.
~~~
Our time on earth shrinks slowly; days, months, and years fly by.
Our closest friends die without saying goodbye.
We will never know when we will say our last goodbye to our families.
~~~
We wish it were possible to let all who are dead come back and say their last words.
We all believe a lot could have been said before dying: apologies, and so much more.
Memorable goodbyes were going to be created with less grief.

Falling … falling from a great height is the first memory I have. Followed by waking up to see my chest burst open on a rock, the rough stone covered in strange ancient markings. My legs shattered and limp, and blood gushed all around me. I looked up and saw a face high above, I don’t remember who it was. Just the smile as they looked down on me.
