my wish
As I sat in utter humility, amazement and gratitude, listening to some of my dearest family and friends share their appreciation of ways I have, perhaps, touched their lives, there was only one thing on my mind that I was grateful to have had the opportunity to voice...
I wish that everyone I knew could see themselves - their true selves - the way that I see them. I wish they could witness the beauty, nobility and magnificence I have beheld in their faces, hearts, actions and beings. I wish they could see how beautiful their reflections are. And - more than anything - I hope and pray that they will always follow their heart and pursue in life those things about which they are most passionate and that bring them joy and happiness, no matter what other people think or say.
Mm hm.
I was deeply moved by the love, beauty and radiance of all the precious souls sitting in our circle tonight, gathered together to wish me well on this next leg of the journey, even though it takes me away from them physically. I hope they realize I am taking them with me every step of the way, whether they want it or not and out of my abiding love for them...

It sounds like you have touched your circle of family and friends so much, that they will ALWAYS be with you. No matter where you may be.
I wish you the absolute best on the next leg of your journey through life.
Greg :)
