"The Master Gardener from Heaven above, planted a seed in the garden of love. And from it there grew a rosebud small, that never had the time to open at all. For God in His perfect and all-wise way, chose this rosebud for His Heavenly Bouquet. And great was the joy of this tiny rose, to be the one our Father chose, to leave earth's garden for one on high, where roses bloom always and never die."
As of yesterday 3 of my friends have passed away and left this life. The first, Abelina. She died more than a year and a half ago in July. This quote was on her funeral program. She was one of my best friends and was my best friend in the LDS Church. The second, Sammi. She was my friend ever since 4th grade. She died a year ago in February. And now the third, Daniel. He passed away yesterday. I wish I knew him better, but he was such a friendly, happy, talented guy. His smile lit up everyone's day. He will be greatly missed. This quote gives me so much comfort in life and I hope that it can comfort any one who has lost a loved one before they were even old enough to really start their life. (Like these 3 friends of mine).
