It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.

hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.

May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone. ~ Irish Blessing

And talk of me as if I were beside you. I loved
You so—‘twas heaven here with you.
