I'm Free
Don't grieve for me for I am free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play,
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of the day,
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes,... see moreI'm Free

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch,
Perhaps my time here seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, he set me free.

You where loved by many & will be missed by all who knew you.
Until We Meet Again
Those special memories of you,
will always bring a smile.
If I could only have you back,
for just a little while.
Then we could sit and talk again,
just like we use to do.
You always meant so very much,
and always will too.
The fact that your no longer here,
will always cause me pain,
But youâre forever in my heart,
until we meet again. less

Her Dad and I took a long walk this morning and baked a pie this afternoon. So many times Heather would bring rhubarb or strawberries or apples and then tell me I could make her a pie. Well here you go Heather. This one is covered with love and sprinkled with tears. Maybe weâll share it just like you used to do with all your food.
Go in peace our beautiful Heather. Until we see you again, may your soul fly free and may God keep you in His tender loving care.
Thinking about you today.

I bought some dahlia bulbs last weekend at Costco. You would have loved them. I can hear your voice now. Bugging me about planning a weekend to get them planted in April and when you can bring some more plants over. I wish we had one more summer together. You and I always had so much fun in the summer months together. With you bringing over all your canned items. I miss you so much. less
