It has taken me many years to realize I cannot control the actions of others, no matter how hurtful they may be. I cannot reside in the past. I can however, hold on to my dreams and wishes. Some will come true and others will not. Life is bittersweet. There is joy and there is sorrow. If my brother's death has taught me anything, it's that you never take anything or anyone for granted. You stand by your family. You nurture positive relationships with those that care about you. You live each day with love and kindness in your heart. |
