Another one of those little clippings i have kept
I's like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy
times and bright sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of
happy memories that I leave when life is done.
When someone who love who is your partner the beginning of the loss is so hard to handle the tears, agony, gut wrentching loss is just so hard trying to bring up what this says is truly just hard to do....
BUT I feel with me anyway in time I could see photos and not cry, remember happy events and not be so sad there were no more....but now relish in what a wonderful time we had - and smile.
Yeah there are tears of loneliness, missing him and wanting it to not be this way but now after 19 months I feel I can not just feel horrible times of the beginning of "OUR end" AND I too hope I can leave some of those times when its my time - I know my Roger would feel like this.....AND I try hard to believe in this...
I hope it helps someone who is hurting horribly now.....TO KNOW their loved ones do want them to go through their grief but remember like it says....

I hope my children will have happy memories of me. That they will know that we were able to survive and get back to being happy, and that it's okay to remember the good times, that life should be filled with more than tears.
Good poem and good thoughts! Thanks for sharing it!
