Miss Me a Little Miss me a little, but not too long. Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go. I am looking down at you, smiling and saying "Family, well done." This journey we all have to take and each must go alone. But I will meet you and greet you again. Remember earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Accept that my death was just God's will.
