“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
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 remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.”
~David Harkins (British Poet and Painter)

Rosidah I just love you to Pieces, you too Thom!
Conversely -- the more love one felts, the more one suffers the loss, but the better chance they have of healing and going on with life.
That was beautiful, what a wonderful sentiment to share with someone you care about.
What a loving message ... my heart goes out to your friend in her loss.
Hugs and blessings,
This is a lovely and kind post. May your words be a true gift to your friend!
So touching words
I love it !!!!!
Lovely quote, Rashidah.
Hi Rosidah, What a special tribute to your friend Amanda --who lost her mother. Life can be so hard--but with friends like you, she will be fine...
God Bless Amanda --and YOU, Rosidah.
