My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. Someone recently shared this poem, and I thought I would share it with you.
Best regards,
Nancy Markus
Miss Me--But Let me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little--but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared.
Miss me--but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me--But Let Me Go!
