Brian, Tasha, and all of your siblings,
I know right about now, your world feels as though its turned upside down. I would just like to remind you that although life brings many changes, GOD's love for us remains constant. HE's always there, guiding & helping us through all of our trying times...ALWAYS restoring in us a sense of hope and peace, no matter what we're faced with. The most beautiful thing about GOD is, the more we need HIM, the closer HE is. HE knows the depts of your sorrow & HE loves you unconditionally. Ya'll stick together & hang in there! Know that I will be praying for you & your family during these very difficult times.
Be Blessed!!

When I am dead, my dearest

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
