Bravery
I will always remember the day you found out that you had cancer. We were all in a state of shock and unbelief but you -- you were the brave one. You endured surgeries and endless treatments, always with a brave smile and good spirits. Your attitude was "I am going to beat this!" "I am going to know my grandchildren!" And you made it for five more years and during that time we all witnessed what a very strong person you were. Heaven is now a better place, with you in it -- Miss you Mom.
Turn Again to Life
be not like others sore undone,
who keep long vigil by the silent dust.
For my sake turn again to life and smile,
nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
something to comfort other hearts than thine.
Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine
and I perchance may therein comfort you. Mary Lee Hall
