I HOPE YOU WILL ALWAYS
REMEMBER THE VALUES I TRIED TO TEACH YOU
TO LIVE BY! AND I WISH FOR YOU A
LIFETIME OF FAITH, LOVE, PEACE AND
HAPPINESS! I LOVE ALL OF YOU WITH ALL MY
HEART!
I GAVE YOU LIFE, BUT CANNOT LIVE IT FOR
YOU. I CAN GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS, BUT I
CANNOT BE THERE TO LEAD YOU.
I CAN ALLOW YOU FREEDOM, BUT I CANNOT
ACCOUNT FOR IT. I CAN TEACH YOU RIGHT
FROM WRONG, BUT I CANNOT DECIDE FOR YOU.
I CAN OFFER YOU ADVICE, BUT I CANNOT
ACCEPT IT FOR YOU. I CAN GIVE YOU LOVE.
BUT I CANNOT FORCE IT UPON YOU.
I CAN TEACH YOU TO SHARE, BUT I CANNOT
MAKE YOU UNSELFISH, I CAN TEACH YOU
RESPECT, BUT I CANNOT FORCE YOU TO SHOW
HONOR.
I CAN ADVISE YOU ABOUT FRIENDS, BUT I
CANNOT CHOOSE THEM FOR YOU. I CAN ADVISE
YOU ABOUT SEX, BUT I CANNOT KEEP YOU
PURE.
I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT DRINK, BUT I CAN'T
SAY " NO " FOR YOU. I CAN WARN YOU ABOUT
DRUGS, BUT I CAN'T PREVENT YOU FROM
USING THEM.
I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT SETTING GOALS, BUT
I CANNOT ACHIEVE THEM FOR YOU. I CAN
TEACH YOU ABOUT KINDNESS, BUT I CAN'T
FORCE YOU TO BE GRACIOUS.
I CAN PRAY FOR YOU, BUT I CANNOT MAKE
YOU WALK WITH GOD, I CAN TELL YOU HOW TO
LIVE BUT I CANNOT GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER! I PRAY THAT YOU
WILL GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS SO WE CAN
ALL BE TOGETHER IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY UNTIL
THEN I PRAY HE WILL KEEP YOU SAFE IN HIS
ARMS!
