I give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still - I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning's hush I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still - in each new dawn. My grandmom was a big part of many people's lives. I have so many memories and all of them make me smile. She was one who excepted everyone no matter there differences and loved them no matter there flaws. I give the song dancing in the sky to her. I know heaven is a happier place with her in it. Here on earth everything has changed with her gone. We are all struggling to find a way to make it. I pray we as a family can come together in life as she always wanted. Fly high gram you will never be forgotten for you live forever in our hearts.
