Don__ spend too much time grieving for me, Elena. I know you__e probably a little sad as you__e reading this, since that means I__ dead and you__e having to learn how to go on in a new way. I would be sad if you didn__ miss me, so I won__ tell you not to, but I will tell you to keep on living. The world is full of beautiful music, flowers, places, and experiences. Enjoy it all as much as you can. Just remember it__ the people in your life that make it worthwhile...People and memories, not things are what__ important in the end. Nothing else matters as much as that.
