So Long and Farewell

A life long friend,
A soul mate,
A heroine, a star
A woman so phenomenal,
The very best by far

I never thought I’d have to 
Say these last goodbyes
So long and farewell my hero
A girls so strong and wise

These last few weeks of life 
Since your diagnosis
Have been so tough, but you pulled through
So difficult to notice

One day we will meet again
And live our lives together
We’ll start a new life, you and me
And share one heart forever

Jordan, it is always so hard to see them go but knowing we will be with them again one day and to know they no longer are suffering we realize how selfish it would be to not let them go. So sorry for your loss my friend. Love, Carol
