LAST JOURNEY

By TONY PRO -

Life is a journey with many stops, but the final destination is one we all must reach the last journey. It’s the path every soul walks alone, no matter how many walked with us in life. This journey doesn’t begin with footsteps, but with silence. A stillness that tells us everything we’ve ever done, said, or become is now a memory to others.

The last journey is not about wealth, titles, or applause. It is about legacy. What did we leave behind? Who did we inspire? How did we love? It strips away our pride, leaving behind only truth. Were we kind? Were we fair? Did we live with purpose or merely exist?

For those who remain, the last journey of a loved one becomes a mirror reflecting how fragile, brief, and sacred life truly is. It reminds us not to take time for granted. To say the words we often hold back. To forgive faster, love deeper, and live with intention.

And though the final journey may seem like an end, for many, it’s a beginning of peace, of rest, and for the faithful, a reunion beyond this world.

So while we weep, let us also celebrate. Because a well-lived life never truly ends; it echoes in every heart it touched, and in every soul it awakened.

This is the last journey not a goodbye, but a gentle reminder to live fully before we, too, must walk that road.
