"Sharing can be a way of healing. Grief and loss can isolate,
anger even alienate. Shared with others, emotions unite
as we see we aren't alone. We realize others weep with us."
~Susan Wittig Albert

Through our writing, we walk out of the darkness into the light
together, one small step at a time, recording history, educating
America, and we are healing.
~CJ/Todd Dierdorff

Miss Me, But Let Me Go



Miss Me, But Let Me Go

[Author Unknown]

When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set on me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little--but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the good that we once shared,
miss me--but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the master plan,
a step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
go to the friends we know.
Bury your sorrow in doing good,
miss me--but let me go.



“I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do, and by the grace of God, I will.” ~Everett Hale
