So many losses over the
years. You all know how close I was to Sandy Triolo and so I share a
poem that cousin Virginia also shared with Vic and me. Unfortunately, I do
not know the author, but thank you Virginia. It seems to apply to each of
our loved ones, male and female ~~
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.
