While thinking of many things we didn't say, I know how much you love me as much as I loved you. And each time you think of me, I'll know you miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart. Every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart. I'm also home with Jesus, so happy and waiting for you.
