Parents never expect to outlive their children,
and surely there is no loss that is more tragic or more difficult to understand.
No one could possibly know how you're feeling right now,
but those who care about you are thinking of you with deep compassion and sorrow.

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me

When l am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to do and see.
You mustn‘t tie yourself to me with tears,
be happy that we had our years.
I gave you my love,
you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
but for now it’s time I travel on alone.
So grieve awhile, for if grieve you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for awhile that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I won‘t be far away, for life goes on.
So, if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can‘t see or touch me,
I’ll be near,
and if you listen with your heart, you‘11 hear
all my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile, and say,
“Welcome Home”

God on His throne in heaven looked round at His flowers so fair and then sought a blossom on earth to add to those He had there to be part of such heavenly Company.
The bloom must be pure and sweet and the little bud that was chosen was the child who had played at our feet.
Sorrow is great at the loss of our child, at the parting with one we love but the parting was made that our child might go to brighten the heavens above.
