My Special Friend

Our time together was special. So were the memories we made. Although you live in heaven now those memories will never fade.
I bow my head in silence and remember you with love. I know that you are up there watching from above.
Everyday will be a struggle and nothing will be the same.
My heart breaks a little more every time I hear your name.
You'll always be remembered and time may heal my heart. But a piece of me is missing now we had to part.
Heaven is for Angels and I know that's where you'll be.
I know you will be waiting when heaven calls for me and oh my darling friend until we meet again, I will miss you more than words can say, but will cherish you in my heart.
Kim
