I went to Charlayne's journal... and I really liked the purple... so if purple isn't your favorite color blame it on Charlayne... *Smile* Rea had sent this to us at loving arms and I wanted to share it... To be honest it sounds familiar... I think I've read it before... but for some reason yesterday it spoke so loudly to me.  I couldn't even respond to Rea about it yesterday... It just really moved me... Today I am better able to respond... I wanted to share it in case today these words can say somewhat what you're feeling...   This to me isn't in the long run sad... It holds promise of the tomorrow I am counting on... To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years.   I gave you my love,  You can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness.   I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it is time I travel alone.   So grieve a while 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'll hear, All of 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" Author Unknown Cara on that day when you say those words to me, only then will my heart stop hurting...  I miss you always my cuddle bum but more importantly I love you for always... I hope you feel my love as I feel yours.  Mama
