Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” We know now that mami is pain-free; she no longer has sorrow, but she is still with us and wants us to be happy because one day, we will all be a family again in Heaven. Extráñame, pero déjame partir... Cuando llegue el final de mi camino y el sol no brille más, no quiero llantos en una habitación melancólica. ¡Por qué llorar por una alma liberada? Extráñame un poquito, pero no por mucho tiempo, y no con tu cabeza baja. Acuérdate del amor que compartimos. Extráñame, pero déjame partir... este es un viaje que todos debemos de hacer y cada uno debe irse solo. Es todo parte del Plan Maestro, un paso en el camino hacia el hogar, cuando estés solo y angustiado busca a los amigos que tu desees y entierra tus penas con buenas acciones. Miss Me But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul that's set free. Miss me a little, but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take and each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we knew and laugh at the things that we used to do. Miss me, but let me go.
