You Toiled So Hard

You toiled so hard for those you loved.
You said goodbye to none,
your spirit flew before we knew,

Your life was love and labor.
Your love for your family true.
You did the best for all of us.
We will always remember you.

by Jodi Picoult This is what I like about photographs, they’re proof that once, even just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect.
Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand.
