Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was. There is an absolute and unbroken continuity. I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. I will not look inside the coffin.
