[Empty_Purple_Stars]

Thank you again to everyone, for being here for me..

Iria, I saved the Dutch along with the English translation of the poem. Thank you for sharing that, it's really beautiful and so is the sentiment behind it.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Thank You so very much...

I am going read that to my Mom when she calls after the Funeral. I read it outloud as well, for myself just now. It's beautiful and perfect, and completely representative of what I believe. Big Squeezy Hugs to you for reminding me of those lovely words, at such a painful time.

*smooches*



Thanks again to everyone for their Prayers and Support.. Don't know what I would do without you guys. Every one of you is so special to me and I am Blessed to have such great friends..

*Spine Crunching Hugs For All*
