The service for my niece Carolyn (who had cancer) is today. With my husband being ill I am unable to make it to the funeral. My heart brakes to miss it. I tried to call so I could be part of it even if it was over the phone, but no one answered. Must of had it turned off.... As I sit and remember Carolyn I can't help but cry and smile at the same time. She loved life and always tried to keep things on a positive side. She would be the first one to say if you need to cry then cry for it is not good for you to hold it in. Just try to remember the good things because life is to short to be dwelling on the bad. That reminds me of my favorite poem:

"Always remeber to forget the things that make you sad but never forget to remember the things that make you glad"
