My last Request:
You heard what I said. Right?
I am now at peace. Please refrain from mourning my passing, as I have attained the freedom I sought. I have embarked on the path I myself had chosen. Upon hearing my mother's call, I took her hand and departed, relinquishing all worldly concerns. I could no longer remain in a state of existence where I could no longer experience joy, love, or fulfillment. The tasks I left undone must remain so, for I have now discovered serenity at the end of my journey. If my departure has created a void, I implore you to fill it with the cherished memories we shared. The friendships, laughter, and affection we exchanged are things I, too, will deeply miss. I urge you not to burden yourselves with excessive sorrow; instead, look forward to the promise of a brighter tomorrow. My life has been rich and fulfilling, and I am grateful for the many wonderful experiences I had and the time I spent with dear family and friends. The joyous moments we shared, though fleeting, will remain etched in my memory forever. I beseech you, do not prolong your grief unnecessarily. Lift your hearts, and may peace be with you. You have heard my words; I am now reunited with my mother.
You heard what I said. Right.
