In the words of Buddha, living a passionate life has nothing to do with its length and everything is to do with its width.
You always tried to participate in life instead of just watching it pass you by. You stepped through new doors each time an opportunity came up and most of the time you found something amazing on the other side. We loved you and will always love you for keeping your spirit free and being open to whatever life presented. The measure of intelligence is the ability to change and you were an epitome of flexibility adapting to new experiences every day.
