Enjoy all you can do today because tomorrow isn't set. Have fun with friends and be happy. Get out of life what you can. It isn't a dress rehearsal, there are no curtain calls. Just try and enjoy as much as you can even with all the pitfalls. And with that, he left, gone to some other place. But he left me with good memories, always leaving a smile on my face'.
