I know how you feel.
I’ve suffered through loss too.
You will get through the pain
Cause He will see you through.
Just think of your loss
As a gift to someone else.
Never ever grow weary. You’re never by yourself.
We’re all here until our job is done,
Then he brings us home, one by one.
You’ll be down for a while,
But you’ll get back into the groove.
Remember, she’s right beside you,
Watching your every move.
Smile. Hold your head up.
We will meet again.
It will be one big family reunion
Full of loved ones and friends.
So don’t cry. Let’s celebrate cause we’re never alone.
There’s just a bigger and better place that she now calls home.
In memory of Ericka.
