Dearest Friends, Family, and everybody I have had the great fortune to have crossed my life with,
It has been a wonderful 32 years that God has granted me. To have known each and every one of you. Words cannot sufficiently express my gratefulness and happiness to have all of you as part of the jigsaw puzzle that competed my life.
This journey, however short, requires me to depart at the next station, approximately 2 months from now.
The darkness of cancer has enveloped almost all the critical functioning organs in my body, and has begun to do what it was meant to do.
It has been a long, painful and drawn out battle for the past year.. and finally my strength has almost been completed depleted. My status is beyond the reach of medical sciences as well now.
Though my armor is battle worn and broken, my peace remains. As sure as the sun rises on the dawn, my destination awaits me.
The purpose of this post is to let all of you, my dear companions know that I appreciate all of you so much. I pray that the memories I have made with you will remain a part of you even as I get off the train of mortality. Remember me for the good that I did, and I plead with you to forgive me if I have done anything that has wronged you.
Remember me for the battles I fought alongside with you, and I pray for your forgiveness if I injured you in any way.
32 years is a relatively short time for most people, but in the ocean of eternity, even a hundred years is a speck of dust.
Death is but a gateway to my eternal home. Where there will be no more pain, no more suffering, no more tears and always, always peace.
As my Master awaits me with open arms in heaven, i invite each and every one of you to join me at the very end when inevitably we all reach the great equalizer.
I will be waiting for all of you with the widest smile, to hear all your stories and adventures in life.
Live the life I could not have, and may your days be filled with joy, peace, and an eternal hope that transcends even death.
To all who are reading this post, I leave you with a permanent blessing:
I pray that my Lord grant you Shalom, a peace that grants you an unshakable joy, health, favor, love, prosperity, strength, kindness, goodness. That each an every one of you will live life with a smile, knowing that at least one person is watching over you from above.
WIth all my heart, thank you for giving me the best life a boy could have.
Andrew
