Well here it is Friday. I don't do very well with Friday's. Thats the day BJ passed. I have found that keeping busy on Friday's helps. BJ's girlfriend had memorial cards made up when he passed and it has a great poem on it and I wanted to share it with everyone. I hope it helps.

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
If my parting has left a void;
then fill it with remembered joy.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
ah yes, these things, I too , will miss.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don't lenghten it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.

I hope this helps. When I read it, it always makes me cry but I also know that its true. He didn't want to leave but it was his time.

This poem was used in my son\'s memorial service and printed on the memorial leaflett. I love it. My son also was killed in vehicle accident--he was a work--he died 9/12/06--he was 19. After reading your journal entries, i realize that we have some of the same thinking and grieving and healing--Take care, LOVE NEVER DIES

I happened to see your posting on someone elses journal and got chills. My son\'s nickname was BJ as well and he was 25 when he died on 12/9/2006. My heart goes out to you and thank you for sharing a beautiful poem. It helped. Karen
