A loved one is a treasure of the heart and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself. But the love that this person brought you...did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers. It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever. & know that earth has no sorrows, that heaven can not heal. In love you, and I'm praying for you.
