If you have lost a loved one, and I'm sure many of you have, they would want you to remember them with love and sorrow, but to continue on, while carrying with you their loving memories..

It Will be Three Weeks Tomorrow
By Franklin Price
02/07/2022

It will be three weeks tomorrow
Since my wife and soul mate died
I'm still in shock about it
Many thousand tears I've cried

Many friends have shared my sorrow
Through the internet and phone 
The neighbors come to check on me
Though she's not here, I'm not alone.

Cards of your condolences
Have reached me without fail  
Presents for good memories
Have also reached me in the mail

Want you all to know, I cherish you,
All my family and friends
Your love has come from everywhere
I pray your sunshine never ends

The storm's somewhat abating
Will be a rainbow in the sky
God will show me, why he left me,
So I don't have to wonder why

Although I am in mourning,
I hear a whisper from my wife,
“Don't be a fool, I'm still here with you.
You must get on with your life.”

The truth is that soul is eternal dwelling in body perishable. As such, within the cognitive bandwidth enabled, we cannot ‘see’ for the moment. Be assured however, that in truth, you are never separated. Of you contact an evolved medium, he or she can even connect you (although I wouldn’t advise it). Trust in God. Pray. Like a child.
