The last time I saw you, Hope shown from your eyes, A smile lit your face and you were ready.
The last words I heard from your mouth were “I love you”. I said them back as the elevator doors were closing. We smiled at each other and waved goodbye.
When I heard you were gone the next morning My world stopped for a moment. There would be no hope for you now.
But also no more pain. No more suffering. God had taken you home.
I still miss you so much.
My best friend, Carole, died November, 2004 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. The night before she died, she was waiting to have a surgery which the doctors hoped would add a few months to her life. She died that night from a blood clot. I guess God had other plans.
