Good Bye My Family

Goodbye my family, I have passed away. If you are here, I would have one last thing to say. Thank you for the love, time and wisdom that you gave me on your way through life's way. My family, I'm glad we said no last goodbyes, because I know tears would have filled our eyes. You know this world is such a funny place to love and people unwilling to give.

But my family was so unafraid of giving. You made me life and that of many others worth living.

In that special place God holds for you and me. We shall meet again in eternity.
