When Tomorrow Starts Without Me by David M. Romano When tomorrow starts without me And I'm not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes Are 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 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 And said my place was ready In Heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love But when I walked through Heaven's gate 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 promised you Today your life on earth is past But here it starts anew I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past 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. ❤️ Tee

My little cousin. I love you sooo much it hurts. I try to think of childhood memories to laugh to keep from crying. But it doesn't work. I've been trying to think of words to post or say but I have none because it hurts to see RIP in front of your name so I won't. I tell myself that God was ready for you but we weren't. Until we see each other again " I Love You Cuz" as you would always say. I know this new part of life is going to be different for us all so continue to watch over us all and hold Aunt Fatty, Teonna, and Tip much tighter. Love Cousin Tee

Nell, there is so much left unsaid. We had made plans to have drinks when you got home from your birthday trip. I was going to tell you how proud I was of you, how strong you were and how you deserved everything you were working so hard for. I know you felt like you were about to make it but you were wrong - you had made it already, you were successful and destined for better things. I'm sorry your time with the people who loved you so much was cut short, it's not fair. You will forever be loved and missed and never far my thoughts. Much love to you my friend ♥️

Nell bro where do I even begin........ I'm so sorry you had to depart the way you did, but I also know God wouldn't want us questioning Him. He only lended you to us for a short time but I appreciate every memory and every moment and EVERY conversation we had. Happy Birthday & Sleep peacefully. Thank you for being my friend 💔
