It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~ Elizabeth Stone If I should ever leave you, whom I love To go along the Silent Way, grieve not. Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you there. I'd come - I'd come, could I but find a way! But would not tears and grief be barriers? And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, please do not let the thought of me be sad... for I am loving you just as I always have. You were so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still to do, so many things I say to you... Remember that I did not fear... It was just leaving you that was so hard to face... We cannot see beyond, but this I know: I loved you so - 'twas heaven here with you! ~author unknown
