Today marks six years since Dad passed away. Yesterday, Brenda and I worked in the yard to make it as neat and trimmed as he and Mom liked it. I think we did them proud. I sure miss them, but I also sure appreciate having had them!!
You can shed tears that they are gone
Or you can smile because they lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish their memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
