Missing You

It's hard to mourn when a loved one has gone
All you do is cry all day because your torn
Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do
But remember it is for a short time to
Just think about your loved ones not that far away from you
Your loved ones presence may not be here
But their heartfelt spirit shows they're near
Because our loved ones are showing us they care
Their spirit will forever lie deep inside our hearts
Keeping your loved ones remembrance is the best thing you can do
However long or short we're apart
Your loved ones sleeping very deep at bay
To only be reunited with you again someday
Your boat will one day sail away to
Until my journey I will long to see you
Truly gone but not forever long

Looking at the messages from your friends. I thought of this song. How do I say goodbye to what we had, the good times that made us laughed out weights the bad. I thought we get to see forever but forever has gone away. It's so hard to say goodbye too yesterday, too yesterday.

Felicia and I developed a close relationship while she was a student at Poughkeepsie High School. She was the first student to invite me to a social function (in this case, it was her first baby shower). It meant so much to me to be there. There will always be a special place in my heart reserved just for Felicia. My sincere condolences go out to her family, and everyone else who loved her.
