When my grandfather (who I called Papo) died, I heard Linda Ronstadt sing this on the radio...I thought it was appropriate then and do in this case as well.

Good-bye My Friend

Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now
Goodbye my friend

I've seen a lot things that make me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
We could've run away and left well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away these tears
I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend

Life's so fragile and love's so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we never know why

But I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend

I don't know my thoughts on the afterlife other than the conventional idea of heaven. When I thought of the above lyrics, it reminded me how I always wanted to hear them after Papo died. Then I thought that if there is a heaven, that when Cookie got there, I wouldn't want her to be with anybody else other than Papo & Mamo. It made me feel good knowing that Papo could finally meet Cookie and that she would keep my grandparents company and they could take care of each other.
