eulogy (written by award winning writer J. Michael Straczynski)
We cannot control the future, cannot do anything else but live out the circumstances that are put before us, and accept that while we are fragile … we are as strong as our choices make us.
The road we take may not be the road we wished for … and it may be made harder still by loss … by pain … by suffering … but what matters … what matters is that we do go on.
We find ways.
We struggle but we continue.
We may lose those we care about, but we continue.
The world we inherit may not be the world we expected, the world we hoped for, the world we thought we deserved.
But we continue.
We continue.
We continue.
Because we know they would want us to continue …
And to remember that the fate of even one life can change the world …
That the history of our species is not just written in epic battles and wars.
It is written in the blood of individuals.
