It’s that time of the year again. The students are coming back to breath new life into the old college town. The traffic still blows but the hustle and bustle of city life isn’t the same without students walking along Wickenden and Thayer. It’s a sight that I have grown accustomed to over the years and it’s somewhat comforting to return to that scene. Overall I must say I’ve not been this excited about school since my days in the sandbox. Yes, I still miss recess. I am looking forward to taking the new nursing courses including my clinical trial studies at the hospital. But it’s not just my academic career that has me wound up like a spring; my personal life has been pretty amazing too. The whole moving process was a tad bit stressful especially with my busy schedule but it was all worth it. He’s here and that’s what matters. The past couple of days were stolen moments spent together creating little us adventures around town. Our weekend plans will be to get the place together and spend some quality time with friends and family. Unfortunately there will be a funeral to attend. My childhood friend, classmate and my cousin’s wife passed away recently from lupus at the age of 25. A wonderful person blessed with a beautiful mind and soul. She leaves behind a sweet little girl and her loving doting husband.
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It almost seemed impossible
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you.
