For My One and Only Markus

So you gave me this card for my 16th birthday sophomore year in high school. On the cover, it says:

Be Alive
Think freely. Smile often. Tell those you love that you do. Rediscover old friends. Make new ones. Hope. Grow. Give Give in. Pick some daisies. Share them. Keep a promise. Laugh heartily. Reach out. Let someone in. Hug a kid. Slow down. See a sunrise. Listen to rain. Trust life. Have faith. Enjoy. Makes some mistakes. Learn from them. Explore the unknown. Celebrate life!

And on the inside, you wrote:
"Remember you only live once, so party as much as possible, my handwriting isn't as cool lookin as your is, happy birthday Elainus! Love ya, Markus"

Hehehe! Flash back, eh?
