We thought there would always be tomorrow. There would be another chance to say all the things we thought about but never said today. We had no idea, we really did not know That the darkness overtook you till you felt you had to go. You left us without warning on that terrible day. Goodbye and I love you were words we never got to say. If we’d have only know that was our last day. We would have held you in our arms and never let you slip away.
Forget me Not – In memory of our daughters Sandra (August 2019) and Kerri (December 2023), who left us without a Good-bye.
