Don't Cry

Please don't cry over my casket 
For I am not there 
Please don't cry at my grave 
My soul has been set free 
I know it's hard not to cry 
We've been down this road one to many times 

I have no more pain 
I have no more sickness 
And I wouldn't change a thing 
As I walk threw the gates of Heaven 
Mom Dad our brothers and our sisters 
Will welcome me with open arms 
Here I am free  

Don't blame yourself 
It was my time to go home 
This is where I'm supposed to be 
Don't dwell on things which you can not change 
I will always be in your heart 

I will always be watching over you 
When that day comes for you to come home
I will be there to welcome you 
With open arms
And walk you through the gates of Heaven 
You will be greeted by our family & friends
Who came home before you 
Until that day I will be watching over you

This is so beautiful, Sabrina! I am mourning the loss of my dad, too. He died 6/27/13. It's so hard to lose a parent that you love. One day at a time. Love, KIm

Thank you! I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost mine 9 days before yours on 6/18. Taking it one day at time is all we can do.It hurts so much. I was with him more than my sisters. When he started getting sick I helped him with his Towing Business more than usual. I was there anywhere from 12-18 hrs out of the day, sometimes more & when I wasn't I wouldn't be to far away.
