When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today;
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready
In heaven far above;
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye;
For all my life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do;
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad;
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow;
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates
I felt so much at home;
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity
And all I've promised you;
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it all starts anew."
"I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
And since each day's the same day,
There's no longing for the past."
"But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true;
Though at times you did do things,
You knew you shouldn't do."
"But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free;
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today;
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

Such an awful thing for any mother or family to endure. I'm very sorry for your lose and grief, hugs to you.My friends. Thankyou with all my heart for the love and support you have given me over the last few months. It was uplifting. Sadly, this journey
has ended. My son has died. I know you will open your hearts yet again, and offer love. Please know, in advance, I am very grateful, but please understand if I am unable to respond.

You know it’s ok to come apart right??? You lost a kid ffs!!! 
You take whatever time you need to grieve, to come to terms, to deal.
You will never be the same, and that’s ok. You will eventually establish a new normal, which will look however it looks as you see fit.
Meanwhile I am so deeply and irrevocably sorry Shalimar. My thoughts are with you.

@Shalimar I have never met your acquaintance on this forum, but the outpouring of love that is being shown to you tells me that you have made an impact here. An impact of caring for others is what I have read as I have gone through this thread. An impact of offering knowledgeable advice to others when they ask. It is obvious that you are loved here.
I just want to wish you my deepest condolences on the loss of your son. I am not going to sit here and say I know how you feel because I don't. I know what I have been told about that sort of feeling and it has to be horrible. Please , I have only been on this site for two days and I can see that you have given so much love to others. It is now your turn to sit back and absorb and tack in all the love from everyone here that loves you. May peace and love comfort you.
