Yesterday (9/5/2008) I attended the funeral of Don's mother who passed away earlier this week at the age of 88. Don and I lived in the same neighborhood, Graceland, and I remember his mom as a lady who always welcomed his friends into her home. The service for her included the following poem which was found in her bible. The author is unknown and it was originally written after the events of September 11, 2001, but it certain was how she felt about her family. Bill Hillhouse
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 that you think of me I know you'll miss me too But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to 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 when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me From His great golden throne He said "This is eternity And all I've promised you Today for life on earth is past But here it starts anew" I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past So when tomorrow starts without me Don't think we're far apart For every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart.
