I just wanted to share an e-mail that I received from my niece today. It is so beautiful and so appropriate. I have had a hectic couple of weeks what with the death of my sister and the surgery on my foot. But God is in His Heaven and He is so good. And I know that all things work together for the good of those who love Him.

Hello to each of you, I hope this finds you all doing well. We are all doing ok. Still having my moments but one day at a time. I was reading some poems on line and found this one. The authors' name is Red and for a very long time that was Mom's initials. It could not say things any clearer than it does. So read it and know that this is what Mom would have said. Love to all.

TOMORROW

Author: Red

When Tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see
If the sun should rise and find you 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 a new
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
