To live without you for the rest of my life seems impossible. In a world full of people, I feel so alone. Without you who will I talk to? Without you who will know me? I gave and did so much and for the first time in my life I feel as though I have failed. I always get what I fight for in life....but this time, I have lost... It will be some time until I can join you I have kids to raise and a husband to grow old with. I ask that you wait for me, I ask that you guide me from heaven as you did on earth. I see you in my dreams and that is where you will forever remain. I think of you as I quote one of my most favorite movie lines. "Between the time your dream ends and the time you wake up, that is where I will be." And you are! God Bless you Gram
