Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
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 and only that she’s 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.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Kayce...I've been with two of my Grandparents when they have taken their last breath. It's so hard to loose such a constant in your life. What a blessing that you have so many wonderful memories and beautiful photos to cherish forever.
Really big hugs to you.
31 is quite a legacy how wonderful to have had her in your life. Cherish the memories.
