No this isn't a chapter but I just found this poem on
/carlysquestions/blog/poem-heaven-isnt-heaven-137840/
And thought it really suited the story and thought I'd share it with you guys
Heaven isn't Heaven
Heaven isn't heaven without you.
My soul is light and my heart heavy.
I can see you everyday,
Going about your business,
Struggling forward, moving on.
I am proud of your strength.
I am so proud of my family.
I can see you, but I can't reach out to you.
And I miss you so desperately.
I am glad for your strength
In going on without me,
I am not sure I could do the same,
If it had been you, instead of me.
I am always thinking of you,
Always with you.
I want to comfort you when you are sad,
When you are crying and screaming and silent,
But I can't.
So I watch you comfort each other.
I watch you be brave and move forward,
Look ahead to the future,
And I am happy to see you go on,
And sad I can't be there at the same time.
I can't be with you in body,
But I am with you in spirit.
Always.
I know you can go on with your life without me.
Pushing forward.
I know it hurts you to do it,
But it is ok.
Take comfort in the fact that I am no longer suffering.
Take comfort in the fact that I am at peace.
I am always with you.
No matter where you are or who you are with.
Never feel guilty for living when I am not,
Because I am moving forward too.
Moving forward through you,
And missing you,
And loving you all the same.
Love is endless and timeless.
Death does not challenge it.
And those passed before continue to live
Through the love they've shared with you.
