You can shed tears that he is gone or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back or you can open your eyes and see all he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him 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 him and only that he has gone or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can try and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. .

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
