It is a privilege to end at your own terms. Life does not owe you anything so nothing should be taken for granted.

What has a beginning usually has an end. It is a blessing for the end to be better than the beginning.

If there are tears at the end, may it be for joy, not for regret.

And what better way to end than to see the baton move, willingly, from you to the next.

The show must go on, with or without you. But it is delightful to see that you made it better and would leave it in better hands.
