PLEASE SMILE AGAIN.

By Jim Kittelberger

Our lives change; people that we love suddenly are gone.

It hurts, it causes us pain, and we don't want to let them go.

But if it happens that their time on earth is done, we must know

that they have finished the course a little ahead of us, and we

will surely see them again when our afternoon in the sun is over.

We must remember that life is but a collection of moments and snapshots and

the only permanent connection we have is that love

we keep inside that warms and soothes when loneliness looms.

So please don't despair my lovely one, as we have yet many more

moments together before our afternoon sun starts to fade. Smile and laugh and be at peace

because no one you truly love ever leaves forever, they are just around the bend, out of sight for

the moment, waiting for you to catch up.
