Inspired by lyrics by Glen Roethel to “Together”:
“When I go home to the world out there, with so much to share, I won’t be alone. With my open heart, I will do my part, and I won’t forget the things that I’ve done or the people I’ve met.
We are together in this life. We walk together. When I go home, I will see you all again, all my heart-connected friends. I’ll see you again.
The world is renewed, but our connection will remain. I feel uplifted by the things I believe and grateful for the gifts I’ve received.
“Surrounded by you, my family, grateful for the gifts I’ve received, I will not forget, I will not be discouraged. I will keep this love alive! We are together in this life. We walk together. We are together.”
