Love never disappears for death is a non-event.
I have merely retired to the room next door.
You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are.
Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, do not be sad.
Continue to laugh at what made us laugh.
Smile and think of me.
Life means what it has always meant.
The link is not severed.
Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your site?
I will wait for you, I am not here, but just on the other side of this path.
You see, all is well (ST. Augustine).
Topanga I am deeply grateful to have met you and become your friend. I will always treasure your smile, your hugs and most of all your overflowing love. Rest well young lady..until we meet again
