SMILE BECAUSE SHE LIVED I can shed tears that she is gone, or I can smile because she lived. I can close my eyes and pray that she'll come back, or I can open my eyes and see all that she has left. My heart can be empty because I can't see her, or I can be full of the love that we shared. I can turn my back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or I can be blessed for tomorrow because of yesterday. I can remember her and only that she is gone, or I can cherish her memory and let it live on. I can cry and close my heart, be empty and turn back, or I can do what she would want: Smile...open my eyes...continue to love and go on; Smile because you lived
