Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann’d: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. Poem "Remember" by Christina Rosetti Norman, I will always remember you with a smile for the love, kindness and acceptance you showed to me and my boys. I wish we'd had more time with you but I feel privileged that you became a part of our lives. Rest in peace xxx
