September 2nd, 2009 Grandma Wakefield has passed


Grandma Wakefield passed away yesterday afternoon, she has left a big hole in our hearts, and for Chris, I cannot imagine the grief he is going through, to say goodbye to the women who has had such a big part in raising you.... I am so sorry.... I found this poem that I would like to share.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

We will miss you Grandma Wakefield

It's so beautiful in the morning, before everything's starts moving, the air is so much cooler and it tastes different. ...
