dear mark,
no matter how much time passes, i think this will always feel a little bittersweet. for so long, your life was something we could witness, every stage, every moment, every small update that made you feel close. and now, for the first time, your life gets to be yours in a way it hasn’t been for years. and instead of feeling like we’re losing you, i think… we’re finally giving you back to yourself.
leaving behind marks of his love, marks of his wisdom, marks of his admiration, marks of his appreciation, marks of respect, and marks of who he is and what he became.. i’ll carry each and every one of your mark as the epitome of clear, blue skies, and be with you just as you go
“But I don't want this to sound like we're about to depart. If I ever get lost, I won't make it obvious. But I'ma call back, don't forget the tone that I used to call you with. Chant it like we always did, hope we always feel like.”
