I lost my husband today

[SaadBell 0]

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try and understand,
That an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready
in heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for
and so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible
that I am leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thougth of all the love we shared
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
I thought, just for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
and maybe see your smile.
But then I fully realized
that this could never be.
For emptiness and memories
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God look down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity
and all I've promised you,
Today your life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
And since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven,
and now at last your free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
For everytime you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

Amal u said nothing wrong, and i just spoke what i knew because i have actually just been told this in the last week when i was beginning to have doubts. Its like we are guided and sent on a mission, we meet the people we are supposed to meet. Sometimes we see it as a failure maybe or as in death or not the ending we want but a bigger reason. We may make a friend or a love and not keep them long but during that time we were together for a reason each will take something away.

Ganja Girl~ that describes totally what I am feeling! You all have been so supportive Amal ~ your post was beautiful, if God chose me for my husband's last days on earth, I am honored ! that doesn't make it any easier to bear. My husband was kind, loving, humble and I know he loved me based on his actions. I keep expecting him to pop on yahoo or call me and he is not there I think today is harder as everything is sinking in and yesterday I kept expecting to wake up !

When love beckons to you, follow him,

Though his ways are hard and steep.

And when his wings enfold you yield to him,

Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

-- Kahlil Gibran

Henna Rose, none of this is as you expected, or as you would choose, but, your sweet husband died knowing that he was loved and that the woman he loved had made a sacred commitment to him and to him alone. This is a gift of great value, one that means that he did not die without you in his life and his heart. God put you in his path so that you would each know true acceptance, love and mercy. You were his angel on earth, and now he is yours in spirit. The two of you are together in the Heart of God.

There is no love without pain, but no love at all is even more painful. May you find solance in remembering how your time together was about joy and giving. You will see him again.

Amal,

You are the last person in the world I would think would do something mean. You just happened to post right after I had talked to her, which is why I quoted you. You are the person who keeps us all connected (you seem to have the 411 on everyone ). No harm done sister.
