You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she has lived.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and
live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can do what Mom would have wanted:
Smile, open your eyes, love and be kind.
Loving and missing you,
Your family and friends
