To: Light Soul But Heavy Mind

This is not an obituary but it is just a letter found on a sunday after noon.

It has come to a point now that I have taken life into my hands.
There is nothing that my parents can do to help me now.
These past years I have seen people change & realized I have changed too.
I came to be honest with others but not with my family.
Sometimes I think that is best for them because I worry about hurting them.
I worry about my dad because I might not see him again when I leave for my mission.
So I took it into my own hands & changed how I lived.
I choose to be someone I am not yet.
So I remember the word trust & what it means.

Tossed & thrown between everything.
Life seems to be more complex than writing this goodbye letter.
Now dishes need to be done but right now everyone sits at the dinner table in silence.
We all have felt the burden of sore muscles & worn minds.
I miss these simple moments because soon it will be gone.
I will be 5,707.59miles away in less than two months.
I can't forget the smiles that brightened my day.
It is the joy that is remembered.
Graduation has never come closer than before & I now realize faces will fade from my memory soon after this.
I will always remember the hammock hangouts & run away lunches.
Now we will meet once again to say goodbye as we walk across the stage.
We say hello to our future when we take our first step out into the new world.
So I remember the people who changed me, because without them I wouldn't be the person that I am today.
I just want you to know that this is a just a see you later letter & that there is plenty more to see in our lives.
& if I do see you again it will be worth it to talk to you.

-Sincerely Brenden Gajdos
