Life challenges

@Hopeandlove

Those we love don't go away

They walk beside us everyday

Unseen, unheard, but always near

Still loved, still missed and very dear

------------------

The lives you've touched

The hands you've held

Shall not be forgotten

The faith you showed

A grace bestowed

A love forever after

------------------

You will be missed my dear

Thankful that your pain is no more 💙

Dear @Hopeandlove ,

Your life's challenges are now over. You have fought a good fight. You have held fast to the end.

Despite the cruelty of this world, you opened up to SANE's Forums Community and trusted us with your story. You trusted us with your love. You trusted us to be with you to the end.

You and your story remains with us - and forever will.

We feel honoured and privileged in that we got to know you at the 11th hour. Although your time with us was short, your life has impacted us all.

You will forever remain with us.

And yes, we will honour your desire and remember you on your birthday on 2nd April by releasing a flower for you on the ocean, river, lake or stream. We will watch it float away and remember you and the difference this Community has made on your life.

We remember you.

Dear @Hopeandlove,

I'd like to believe that you're at peace, sitting in nature. After our chat on Friday, I went out stargazing from my backyard and was thinking of you. I'm so grateful to have known you, even if it was for a short while, it meant so much to me. I remember when you first joined, how sceptical you were about fitting in with the forums community - regardless of your uncertainty, you stuck around and became apart of the family. I'll never forget your strength, kindness and love for fantasy.

My favourite colour is blue too, and now when I see that colour, it will remind me of you 💙

Sending you so much love,

rav3n
