“I love you and love you and love you. I love you so much that when I am old and old and old, and sick and tired and it’s time for God to take me home- I won’t leave. I’ll stand outside the gates of heaven and watch over you. My love is so strong that long after I am gone you will still feel my love. I will a breath on the back of your neck and an almost whisper in your ear and you will know it is me. And when you are old and old and old and sick and tired and it’s time for you to come home I will be there to carry you into the next life as I carried you in this one.” ………my heart is heavy with sorrow for your loss….
