Why you ask, do I write this status?
One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly  reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.
We have so much!
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind to each other - love one another - support everyone.
We are all one! ❤️
I didn't write this but it said
