YOU CAN SHED THE TEARS THAT HE IS GONE, OR YOU CAN SMILE BECAUSE HE HAS LIVED.

YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRAY THAT HE WILL COME BACK, OR YOU CAN OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE ALL THAT HE HAS LEFT.

YOUR HEART CAN BE EMPTY BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE HIM, OR YOU CAN BE FULL OF THE LOVE YOU SHARED.

YOU CAN REMEMBER HIM ONLY THAT HE IS GONE, OR YOU CAN CHERSH HIS MEMORY AND LET IT LIVE ON.

That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. All we can do is our best to try to see the sunshine and the positive side every day. We can't bring them back, but hopefully we can think about them every day and smile.

Love it Ann,
I think it would be nice to frame that and hang it
In my hallway, so I will see it every time I walk by it.
Hugs,

I agree with all that it will take time to see our lives this way. When I read it, I felt a sense of peace..short lived, but it was one calming moment within this turmoil. Love to all, Ann
