Miss me a little–but not too long

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared,

Miss me–but let me go.

-Christina Rossetti

I gave you my love, and you can only guess

How much you've given me in happiness.

I thank you for the love that you have shown,

But now it is time I traveled on alone.

I won't be far away for life goes on. And if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, All my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a “Welcome Home”.

-Robert Bryndza

I greatly appreciate the sincere gratitude of all your kindness, cards and other expressions of love and concern shown during my mother’s period of illness and time of bereavement. Special thank you to Auntie Charity.

-Love, Sekou
