It is with all my love that I extend to each of you an appeal to enjoy this omnibus of my parting thoughts. Embrace them at face value or use them as springboards to reach new heights of self-awareness as, in your minds' eyes, you navigate the waters North of The Narrows that lead to our beach. As we map out the shoreline of our lives, one day we will all embark upon an adventure leading to an undiscovered country from whose bourn none of us will return.

And yet, we have this consolation. God's invitations have already been sent out to each one of us, requesting our presence at a reunion that promises to be celestial in scale, and He has assured us that there need be no empty seats around His table.
