This week I had a dear friend and sister die. It has left myself and the rest of my sisters in shock... struggling to find answers and find a new normal. We know Kate is in a better place, yet we still long to see her walk through the door again with her beautiful smile and sparkling personality. I cam across this poem today, and it just made me think of Kate... I know she would have wanted us to remember the good times as much as possible.
You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she 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 can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for 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.
You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she 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 can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for 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.
Sweetheart I will never forget your hugs... our million cute pictures... dancing in the fountain... all the silly texts...Pei Wei and driving around town... those boots... switching dates... Sisterhood lasts forever, and death can't end that. Until we meet again sister, you will always be in my heart. May angels lead you in...
