I'll See You Later

 by Kay Heitsch

When our 16 year old son Todd walked out the back door I never dreamed it would be the last time I would see him go out that door. He turned around as he walked down the steps, pointed his finger and said, "Later Mom."  (Todd died in a car accident an hour later)

Those words "Later Mom" have stuck in my mind all of these years.

"Good byes are not forever. Good byes are not the end. They simply mean "I'll see you later" until we meet again."

"I'll See You Later Todd"  I have no doubt!
