I thank God for the time I spent with you. We had ups and downs but we got thru them. It was hard but with God we pulled thru. God let me see you the way He sees you. Even though we make mistakes we can forgive and move forward not seeing the flaws but seeing your heart. I love you and I will miss you!! See you later, it is never a goodbye.
