Saying Goodbye

It’s never easy saying goodbye the things I didn’t get to say, the memories we didn’t get to make in due time. We will see each other again until then give me the Peace and Strength to move on and be one within. Love is always in the air even with you physically not there. It’s never easy saying goodbye but I know it was divine time, so let your light shine until next time.
