Each time we lose a loved one a part of us dies too they take a piece of
our hearts. We shed a tear we feel quite numb, another loss. They say time
heals give it awhile, remember all the happy times and smiles. For a while it's true
but reality brings back all the pain. For this journey that we all must take, and each must go along. It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. Forever Remembered, Forever Missed, Forever loved.
