Today, I see your face everywhere - but you're not there…
“Today, I see your face everywhere - but you're not there. I am sad at losing you and I miss you, my friend. The warm, balmy weather reminds me of your sunny smile and zest for life. I can't laugh because you're not here to laugh with me or to say those comedic things only you can say. When God saw fit to take you He didn't ask me because He didn't have to. He took you because he knew you were not the self He made you to be. I miss that person but have to accept that you remain only in my memory and my heart. My friend - gone from this earth, but not from my mind.”
