I thought this was so beautiful… You can shed tears because they are gone, or you can smile because they lived. You can close your eyes and pray they will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that they left for you. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see them, or it can be full with the love you shared… Smile, open your heart, love and go on.

Continue to persevere. And remember, no matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again.
