Letting Go by: unknown author

The Angels gathered near your bed,
so very close to you.
For they knew the pain and suffering
that you were going through.
I thought about so many things,
as I held tightly to your hand.
Oh, how I wished that you were
strong and happy once again.
But your eyes were looking homeward, 

to that place beyond the sky.
Where Jesus held His outstretched arms, 

it was time to say goodbye.
I struggled with my selfish thoughts,
for I wanted you to stay.
So we could walk and talk again,
like we did - just yesterday.
But Jesus knew the answer,
and I knew He loved you so.
So I gave to you life’s greatest gift,
the gift of letting go.

Tell that he's not gone that it all just a mistake.
Tell why i should be here with out him again cause it makes no sence.
Tell me how iam going to tell our childern that there father is gone.
Tell me how to make the pain and hurt go away.
Tell me what to do how to get on with my life when a large part of me is gone.
Tell me when i will be able to stop the tears and pain to see things in a new light.

Tell me when i can be with him because thats all i want to feel his arms around me to hear his voice telling me how much i mean to him..
Tell me when the memories of him wasting away growing weaker and weaker will fade ......
Tell me that is was all a dream and that he is here with me...
Tell me something that will make me belive again
Tell me how to live again because iam so numb and empty without him
Tell me how to coop with the lost or let me die with him either way i feel as if i had died that night too only defferents is mine is a death that forces me to live with out him...... What i would give willing to be with him now to feel him next to me to hear his laughter to feel his love tell me what to do before its to late.....

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
