Today was the day, I knew that as soon as I woke up. It was my time, and I knew because I didn't hurt at all. I didn't feel any pain whatsoever.
"Hey boys! I feel amazing! Can we go to the park?" I asked, and they all looked surprised as I skipped into the kitchen for breakfast. They all stared at me with their mouths open and nodded.
"Are you sure you're up for that, Liz?" George asked, and I nodded my head and smiled. I intended to use my last day to let them remember me.
After breakfast, we all headed to the park and had an amazing time. They all looked as if this was unreal, considering the way I had been for the past few months.
    I ran around and we all went down the slide and acted like children. We got ice cream and went to the movies. It was truly amazing, but I felt the day coming to an end as we all sat in the front yard watching the sun go down.
   "This was an amazing day, but it's time to go," I announced, and they all looked at me with concern and confusion.
   "Go?" John asked, and George just looked down at the grass.
   "Boys, I want you to know that I love all of you, okay? You really are my family, and I can't stand the thought of leaving you, but it's my time. I want you to all know that it's okay to cry sometimes, or to miss people," I said, and everyone's eyes were glossy, "but eventually, you must move on. You can't hold on to me forever, but it is okay to feel sad sometimes. Everybody does. I want to thank you for showing me that life can be more than your past, and you can outgrow your roots. And that love is real, and that it is confusing and fucked up," I laughed, with tears in my eyes. George looked up and I saw a few tears fall, which broke my heart.
   They all were standing now, and I went to hug everyone goodbye. I went to George first.
   "George, remember what I told you, okay, and it is okay to feel sad, to feel heartbroken. But the sun will come out when the winter ends," I said, and he nodded.
   "I love you forever," he said, and I felt tears fall from my face and splash onto my shirt, but I said it back.
   "Paul," I said, as I hugged him, "marry her, okay? And remember, let it be, okay? You can't control everything, so just hang on for the ride," I said, and he nodded.
   "I'll always love you," he said, and I said it back.
    "John, oh what to say?" I said with a sad laugh as I hugged him, "can I just say that all you need is love? With this, there is heartbreak, but you know that it was worth it along the way, okay? Always remember that, I love you," I said, and he said it back.
    I went to hug ringo, and I didn't say anything for a moment, "rings, always know that help is necessary sometimes, and it's okay to lean on your friends okay? I love you," I said, and he said it back. They all kissed me on the head, and then I crumpled and blackness fell over me. The last thing I saw was their teary, loving faces.

"I see the smiles return to faces, little darling it feel like years since it's been here, here comes the sun, doo, doo, doo, doo, here comes the sun and I say it's alright- George Harrison,1969"

"And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be- Paul McCartney, 1970"

"Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be, it's easy, all you need is love, all you need is love, all you need is love, love, love is all you need- John lennon, 1967"

"Would you believe in in a love at first sight, yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time,  what do you see when you turn out the light, I can't tell you but I know it's mine- Ringo Starr, 1967"
