For My Family and Friends

For My Family And Friends If you are sitting here listening to these words, it's because I am not of this world anymore. I am still here - you just can't see me. To you my children - I want to say, that I loved you with all my heart. I never had riches in this world. My biggest treasure was having you all. You were the treasure that God gave me and I took care of you the best way that I could. Let God comfort your soul and wipe away your tears, than go on with your lives. Today I must take a journey but I must do it alone. My job here has been done. I am now going to a better place. Please don't cry for me, I have not died. I have only started a new life. Time will heal your pain. Try to live a righteous life, stay close to Jesus and you will be close to God. We will see each other again, when you climb the golden stairs. I will meet you there. To my family and friends, I want to say thank you for all the years ant times we spent together. The times we laugh and the times we cried. As we all know, everything comes to an end and now I must say my last goodbye. From above I will ask my Lord Jesus to bless each and everyone of you... 08/19/2014 By Lucilla M. Carrillo Note: My best friend asked me to write something for her. This is what I wrote I hope you like it. It will also be in Spanish....

This is beautiful! The words flow straight from the heart. I love the second stanza best. Friends, family, shared laughter and shared tears are better than any material riches we could accumulate.
