I can shed tears for my Mother that she is gone away or smile about my mother that she has lived! I can close my mind and want her to come back, or I  can open my mind and see all that she has left I can remember all the pain she endured and her unwillingness to let go or better cherish the the many blessings and memories when all was well

I can close my eyes and be sad for loosing her now, then, I can do what I know she would wants all of us do Open our eyes, know that she all of love us, smile,  and go on.
