Tears

I am going to try as hard as I can to make this blog happier. Right now for awhile it probably is not going to happen. So here we go:

With tears we watched you suffer
as you slowly faded away
our hearts were completely broken
as you fought so hard to stay
we knew you had to leave us
but you never went alone
because part of us went with you
the day you left your home.
We did watch Shirley suffer. I feel we had to do that in order to help her with her journey to heaven. I hope those memories fade soon. It has been 3 weeks this morning since she left us. The family in town helped out so much. The amazing amount of people who turned out to say their goodbyes gave us some really good feelings. But those feelings fade and people leave. So now it's time on our own to start healing. It's a struggle. You physically have to force yourself to get up and make it through a day. There are a lot of tears during the day, but so many good thoughts.
Talk to everyone soon.
