So i wrote my obituary, depressing i know, but i found a poem that i really liked to put at the beginning of it... here it is:

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when i heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up you hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.
