We are sending a dove to heaven with a parcel on it’s wings Be careful when you open it, It’s full of beautiful things Inside are a million kisses wrapped up in a million hugs To say how much I miss you and to send you all my love. We hold you close within my heart and there you will remain To walk with us throughout our life Until we meet again. Love your Mom & Dad
This sadness drowns me This emptiness consumes my life We were so happy You were going to be my wife You gave me wisdom in the lowest of places You gave me faith in the darkest of days You gave me peace no matter the race You gave me love in multiple ways You were an astonishing young woman in the making Without you here, it is hard to breathe. Without you, I feel empty I don’t know how I’m going to be able to do this thing called life without my other half we had so many plans and goals Writing this I still can’t believe you’re actually gone I’m missing you like crazy I love u bubba????
