I’ll go first, to show you that it’s okay to let go.

I'll go first, so you won't be afraid what is beyond our life.

I’ll go first, to make sure things are all right on the other side.  Then someday, a long time from now, I’ll guide your way.

I’ll go first, and when you feel that gentle breeze upon your face,  it is me caressing you and a reminder that I have never forgotten all the I love you's, you have told me throughout my life.

I’ll go first, my soul was surrounded in the butterflies that you marveled at when you wished that I was there as you sat in isolation missing me.

I’ll go first, soaring on the wings of the bird that came up to you out of nowhere while you wondered if I was there watching over you.

I’ll go first, and when you contemplate the meaning of life while you gaze out into the sea you’ll see the beauty of what life can be and know that I was there to comfort you so you can find peace.

I’ll go first, and be the thoughts in your mind while you’re walking on that mountain trail to comfort you as you cry for me.

I’ll go first, to remind you how fragile life is and interject your thoughts of how you should live your life to its fullest because that is what I wanted.

I’ll go first, so that you may learn what grief is like and once you have healed you can share your experience with those who need to understand how my loss affected you.


I’ll go first, but I will not be gone. I will see you again, someday.
