may we remember
the feeling of fresh air on our faces
the joy found in the first blooms of spring
the peace we found in moments of solitude
the comfort nature provides in times of stress
the unconditional love of a pet
the way we can live with only what we need
the memories of time with our families
the importance of every single job
the longing for a handshake, high five, or hug
the mental toughness we all possess
and above all
the way we did our best to protect each other.
