Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying

Written several months ago, but especially relevant today:

"There comes a point in life when you have to face reality. You just can't run away from every little thing that is thrown at you and major occurrences aren't just going to go away because you wish them to. Sometimes things happen, the people around you move on, and then your life changes drastically whether you want it to or not. You just have to learn how to deal with it and keep going. You can't just pretend things didn't happen.

Sometimes the easiest way to get by is to make people happy. Sometimes the number of smiles you help create in a day is what you cling to. Sometimes you can look like the happiest person in the room but on the inside you're the saddest. Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

You all mean so much more to me than you could ever realize."



Blessed in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

RIP mommy. I love you.
