To The Immediate Family That Are Left Behind

You can shed tears that they are gone, or you can smile because they had lived. You can close your eyes and pray they will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that they had left. Your hearts can be empty because you can’t see them, or it can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your backs on tomorrow, and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow, because of yesterday. You can remember only that they are gone, or you can cherish their memories and let it live on. You can cry, close your mind, be empty, and turn your back, or you can do what they want, smile, open your eyes, love, live and go on.
