Another Year Will Quickly Pass

Like the fleeting of winter and the dancing snowflakes in the wind, another year passes and will mark the fourth year of Sue's passing. It's so hard to believe that she has been gone almost four years now. Where has the time flown? I still can hear her voice in my mind and be in touch with her mannerisms at work. Her laughter, her temper, her fun and her whitty way with words...and oh, I could never forget her LOUD singing which sounded more like a sick bird warbling than anything else, but that's just the way she liked it...doing anything to get a laugh out of everyone. Right now Sue is enjoying Heaven and all of it's glory. We all miss her. I miss her....but she is forever in our hearts!

When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile just forget if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken, remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I've had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles and won, er the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, but in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay, and come in the evening when the sun paints the sky in the west, stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best.
