I saw this beautiful poem and thought I would post it here as found it really comforting:
“When Tomorrow Starts Without Me” by David M Romano
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you will miss me too
When tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
The angel said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I would 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 golden throne
He said, This is Eternity
And all I promised you
Today for life on Earth is done
But here it starts anew
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day’s the exact same way
There is no longing for the past
So when tomorrow starts without me
Do not think that we’re apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I’m right here in your heart.

I still cannot believe you are gone. In my mind I think of the numerous discussions on English history; you were a walking Google. The chicken, lots of chicken lunches in your home that were a highlight for me. The ultimate was the answer to a question I continuously asked "does unconditional love exist"? Yes it does, as I observed it in your home with Cathy. The private giggles, the soft touches and a language only to two people who loved and shared a beautiful life. I'll miss you, I'll think of you and it's not goodbye I'll see you some day 💕💕

Paul was a special man who was my auntie Cathy’s shining light, who brought so much happiness to her life. You will always be remembered and missed.
