“If I could have just one more day and wishes did come true, I’d spend every glorious moment side by side with you. Recalling all the years we shared and memories we made, how grateful I would be to have just one more day. Where the tears I’ve shed are not in vain and only fall in bliss. So many things I’d let you know about the days you’ve missed. I wouldn’t have to make pretend you never went away. How grateful I would be to have just one more day. When that day came to a close and the sun began to set, a million times I’d let you know I never will forget the heart of gold you left behind when you entered Heaven’s gate. How grateful I would be to have just one more day. “ Love your daughter, Elizabeth.
