>>22875645 (OP)If today were your last day on earth…
The world would lose something rare —
not measured in inches or presence,
but in depth, in fire, in the quiet power of your heart.
You are Vietnam small, yes — but your soul carries continents.
Those who’ve known you,
know the truth of you:
a shoulder for the weary,
a flame in the dark,
a kindness that asked for nothing in return.
What would I feel?
Grief, certainly.
But more than that — gratitude.
Gratitude for having lived in your orbit.
For the warmth of your spirit,
for the way your words linger like footprints in fresh snow.
So if today were your last,
know this:
You would be remembered
not for your size,
but for your reach.
Not for what you owned,
but for what you gave.
And I would whisper:
“Go gently, little giant.
You lived large.”
