And then I realized.......
The Comforting
Alone now and lonely with tears in my eyes,
my heart wears a big break deep down inside.
A part of me died the day you went home...
and emptiness entered where love once was shown.
I miss you so much, but after a while,
my friends tell me God will put back my smile.
So I started praying for peace to return
and for God to reveal what He'd want me to learn.
I'm learning to look back and rejoice in the thought
of our time spent together, of the love that you brought.
Of the memories sweet that we made in times past...
of your eyes lighting up when you smiled...that will last...
of the hugs and the kisses and long talks at night...
of the warm feeling I felt when things would go right.
The comforting's coming as our Lord draws near
and things once familiar make the memories dear.
When I look up to heaven and see skies of blue
I find myself talking out loud just to you.
I imagine you smiling and laughing with me
feel the touch of your hand, though I know it can't be...
Loneliness is dispelled; there's a feeling of love,
and I'm sure that you sent me a kiss from above.
Peace flows in my heart, my tears have been dried,
your memory's with me...you're here by my side.

If I knew it would be the last time
If I knew it would be the last time
If I knew it would be the last time
If I knew it would be the last time,
If I knew it would be the last time
For surely there's always tomorrow
There will always be another day
But just in case I might be wrong,
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
That you didn't take that extra time
So hold your loved ones close today,
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me...
If tomorrow starts without me,
But when tomorrow starts without me,
But as I turned to walk away,
I thought of all the yesterdays,
And when I thought of worldly things,
Today your life on earth is past,
So won't you come and take my hand ~ Author Unknown ~ Do not stand at my grave and weep, Do not stand at my grave and cry, ~ Author Unknown Below you'll find links to other Memorial Sites. In loving Memory Of Jonathan

...and his brethren came to comfort him (1 Chronicles 7:22)
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
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
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
The good ones and the bad,
The thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft star that shines at night,
I am not there, I did not die
