Shedding a tear

Hi there Samantha, what can I say that hasn't already been said?

While you grieve for your friend, concntrate on the joy you both shared through your friendship ... that will stay with you forever.

Can I share something withy you - and everyone?  It's a verse I included in my mothes funeral service - it is actually a dedication to the Late Queen Mother from her daughter Elizabeth

You can shed tears that she has gone or you can smile because she has lived .... You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that she's left ...Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared ... You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday ... You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on .... You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I lost my Mum four years ago and still miss her, but whenever I get the sads I read through this and it is a comfort to me

Luv ... Shirl xx
