I used my head and my heart to calm my emotions during the weeks that I lived with a terminal diagnosis. While calming, they also brought me to a place of comfort.

I have loved, and been loved. Generously.
I have cared and nurtured, and I have experienced the same from others.
I have been kind and giving, and I have known the kindness of others.
In my life, my focus has been on creating positive energy, and positive people have surrounded me.
I have laughed lots, and I have made others laugh.
I have smiled whenever I could, and many have smiled back.
I have lived a happy life, and I think that I’ve made others happy.
I will be remembered. Fondly. I’m sure of it.
I will live on.
And I’ve become comfortable with the notion of dying, whenever that happens.
