Card from UK

I received a custom-made card from UK from a family (of my overseas support group) who understood the pain of losing a child. In a digital world with e-cards, facebook, watapp, it is heartwarming to receive a card specially delivered from UK. The message (written below) in the card is comforting. Thank you Denise, Paul, Joshua, Jessica, Emily and Angel Harry for your love, thoughts and prayers.

"The truest measure of life is not in its length, but the fullness in which it is lived"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She is gone
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind; Be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she'd want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A gift from God
Wait just a moment, I wish you could see
The wonderful thing that happened to me
Jesus was waiting, His arms open wide
And He and His angels, brought me inside
Such a beautiful place, that I cannot describe
A new home for, from the moment I died

I will wait here for you, so dry up your tears
And go on with your life, free from your fears
Know that God's near you to help and to guide
He'll never desert you; He's there by your side
So speak to Him daily, from inside your heart
And let Him assure you, we're not really apart
