FAREWELL

February 20, 2011. One of the saddest days of my life, my grandmother passed away. Just last February 7, my uncle too, passed away after years of battling with diabetes.

With all my sorrow, I can't manage to write my own words as for now. I am sharing to you these encouraging and beautiful phrases instead.


"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why he left this earth so soon, or why he left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. And that his life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. "
 
"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."
