You may not always see it, but your presence in this world has left
ripples far beyond what you know. Someone still smiles at a memory you
created together, still feels comforted by the kindness you once showed, and
still finds courage in the words you spoke.
Someone hums a song that
reminds them of you, sees beauty in the world because you pointed it out,
and carries your wisdom in their heart. Someone stands a little taller
because you believed in them, walks a little lighter because you were there,
and dreams bigger because you told them they could. “You matter more than
you realize.”
