We just went through the same thing.........someone sent this to us...........



When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, though I know your heart aches so,
But remember it was for the best……it was my time to go……..

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you’re thinking of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

If it should be that I grow frail and weak, and pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done for this last battle can’t be won….

You will be sad, I understand, don’t let your grief then stay your hand,
for on this day, more than all the rest, your love and friendship stands the test….

We’ve had so many happy years, what’s to come can hold no fears,
take me where my needs they’ll tend, only stay with me until the end,
hold me firm and speak to me, until my eyes no longer see……..

I know in time that you will see, it is a kindness that you do to me,
although my tail, it’s last has waved, from pain and suffering,
I’ve been saved………

Do not grieve, it should be you who decides, this thing to do,
we’ve been so close these years….
Please don’t let your heart hold any tears……………
