         In life there are people who will leave you and will come to your life. For the once who leave, farewell with a smiling and for the one that will enter, welcome them with a heart. It is not an end yet, because there is another chapter that will add and continue until it would say that it is an end. There will be sadness and sorrow but there is also joy and happiness that will come. Tear of sorrow and joy, which will drop in our eyes. Be glad because they will forge you until you became a tough and strong sword that will wipe out those fears and sadness you feel. Remember that always cherish and treasure those of your memories, whether it is bad or good. That is what life really looks like.
